Kirsty Collinson, 31, who is a cleaning manager, set herself a challenge to help keep her motivated.
Kirsty explained: “I decided I wanted to lose weight and up my fitness levels, but I couldn’t decide what would be best for me to do.
“So I had a think and needed something I could do all year round that wouldn’t close. This obviously ruled out classes, swimming, the gym.
Kirsty is running 31 miles in May for LIVES
“And, not wanting to fail before I had even started, I needed to find a reason to exercise, because just wanting to do it alone for me was not enough.
