So far, she has run 215 miles which is the equivalent of running from Manchester to Glasgow, and with an elevation of 15,000 feet which is the same as running up Ben Nevis four times!
Kirsty is raising money for charity The Silver Line. She originally aimed to raise £500 but has already achieved that so now she’s increased it to £1000.
“There have been highs and lows over the last 50 days,” said Kirsty, “but overall, I have really enjoyed the experience, going out every day and finding new routes and exploring the local countryside. I’ve had some great support from my family and friends on my Facebook page too and want to thank them for their encouragement which has really helped me to keep going.”
Despite sore knees and a fall at one point, Kirsty says she has become fitter during the challenge, improved her mental health and is more focused when she has been for her daily run.
