The plan focuses on building your half marathon running specific fitness over 16 weeks so that by the end you are ready for your event. The plan is progressive but you can jump in at a position that matches your current training load if you are already training.
We will be sending out training plans for the next 13 weeks via email, if at any point you do not receive your email please contact us.
Fundraising advice
Many hands make light work! Recruit friends, family and work colleagues to help raise sponsorship money on your behalf, make sure your name and address is on each of the sponsorship forms so they get back to you. Should you require any additional forms, please contact us on 01325 488606 or northyorks@diabetes.org.uk
Also, ask your family and friends to email their contacts, and if you have a link to an online donation page, make sure they include this.
Remember to set up your online donation page using our Challenge website.
Diabetes facts and stats
Throughout the weeks we will provide you with some statistics and information about diabetes to help your fundraising message have a greater impact
This week: In the UK, 2.6 million people currently have diabetes and a further 500,000 people have the condition but do not yet know it.
Gift Aid
On the sponsorship forms and on the online donations, your supporters will be asked if they would like to Gift Aid their donation. Please ensure that as many people as possible tick the Gift Aid box plus give their full name and address (postcodes are essential) as it allows us to claim an extra 28p for every pound raised. It doesn’t cost your supporters any extra to Gift Aid their donation.
