I have the opinion that human beings are able to achieve a lot more than we think possible. I also believe that strong willpower and mental resilience are very important factors that can help immeasurably in the face of physical challenge. It was a couple of months ago I had this conversation with a triathlete who threw the gauntlet and urged me to prove it in a 110km ultra-marathon in the Lake District. A challenge I had to take up.

Well, it's all over now so a big thank you to everyone who sponsored me. It was not a straight forward affair and I learned a lot from the experience. If you would like to read how I got on then go to the resources section and look at the article 'Willpower and Resilience - A Personal Story'.

Then maybe have a think how you may challenge yourself!
