Mini marathon/London Marathon update
Class 1 436
Class 2 535
Class 3 1162
Class 4 1218
Class 5 815
A total of 4116 laps were completed by the whole school, including the staff, although not all the staff’s laps were recorded so the total distance will actually be even greater!
Almost all children covered at least 10 laps, which was 1 mile. The most laps done by a single pupil was 69, which was achieved by both Kieran and Jack from Class 4.
The total distance covered was 411.6 miles. So how far would that take us?
Well………
We could go from school to the start line at Greenwich Park which is 187.4 miles, then we could do the marathon course of 26.2 miles. We could even have a day or two walking around seeing the sights of London to cover 25 miles and then we could travel back to school from St.James Park. Wow that’s some distance we covered. Well done everyone.
The money raised has been amazing; we would love to give you a grand total as soon as possible, so if you have a sponsor form and money still to return, it would be great if we can have them in the week the children return to school.
My training is all done and I am doing short gentle runs now while my body recovers from all the training and gets me ready for the big day. I need to get lots of early nights in now to catch up on sleep, but that’s hard when the marathon is always on my mind. My latest stress has been getting from my hotel to the start line on the day. I think I’m sorted now?and just need to pack my bag!
For anyone who would like to follow my progress on the day to check that I actually finish, there will shortly be an app available which you can download and also you can go onto the Virgin London Marathon website and track from there. My running number is 54967, registered as Nicola Cooke.
I’m not a fast runner, so don’t check in too early! The most important thing is for me to go and enjoy the day as much as I can. But yes, I do have a time I would like to do it in and I’m hoping I get over the finish line within 6hrs. So we will see. ??
Thank you to everyone for all the support I have had over the last few months; it has been very much appreciated.
If anyone has missed out on their child’s sponsor form and would like to donate or anyone that would like to donate to my page here is the link
