๐Ÿ˜จ Blindman 2 Marathons in 1 day??!!

Me BPUK 1

Hi allโ€ฆI need your help, experience and opinions!

After theย โ€œUltra Step Challengeโ€ last December (2021) i saidย โ€œiโ€™m not doing a challenge that iโ€™ve made up next timeโ€ฆIโ€™m going to do an organised event by the charityโ€. Well that didnโ€™t last long, as here i am again thinking of my latest challenge!! I thought iโ€™d put it to you guys first before i started a fundraising page and jumped in feet first, lol! ๐Ÿคฃ ย 

My latest ideaโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜ฒย 

As you may know my lovely wife Sarah is working for MS Society, so i thought iโ€™d do another challenge to help fundraise. My mum died of MS the same month i was registered blind in July 2000. So of course this charity is close to my heartโ€ฆSo here is my idea.

I thought iโ€™d try and walk 2 marathons in 1 day?? (please give me your thoughts on this)ย ๐Ÿคฃย ย In my last ultra step challenge it took me over 4 days to walk the distance of 2 marathonsโ€ฆSo i thought itโ€™d be a great idea to try and walk 2 marathons in 1 day! ๐Ÿ˜จ Or should i start with 1 marathon first? ๐Ÿค”ย 

Can this bonkers blindman do this, lol? I wanted to walk on an athletics track as the stress of walking around my local woods would be way too much external stimuli for me and that amount of distance. But it’s harder than you think to get a track for 24 hours. Any ideas? Do you think this is a good challenge? Have you had any experience of anything similar? ๐Ÿค”ย 

Iโ€™m thinking of doing this 24 hour challenge in March or May 2022, as iโ€™ll (or you) come up with a funky title for my MS March or May ideasโ€ฆAlso itโ€™ll give me some time for lots and lots of walking before i start.
