On elf my, few, ambitions for 2026 was to complete the ‘A Coventry Way Challenge’ walk in April. This is a great walk covering forty miles roughly circling the city of Coventry.
I have completed the walk a number of times in the past and was hoping that I could get fit enough to tackle it again this year.

However, my knees have not been playing ball (or any other sport to be honest) and I have just not got the training mileage under my belt.
I had until the end of the month to cancel, with my place going to the waiting list, and getting my entrance fee back (less an admin. fee). This is what I did yesterday morning and received an acknowledgment back later in the day.
I still have the Charnwood Marathon (short course – 18miles) still in my diary so we’ll have to wait and see if I feel up to that in just over three weeks time.
