My friend Mark has nearly finished his challenge of doing 50 half marathons in 60 days on the Concept 2 indoor rower. That adds up to over 600 miles! He is doing it to raise money for a local 9 year old girl who fell from a climbing frame, and is now paralysed for life. Well, yesterday, he completed his 44th row, so he only has 6 more to do. His final one is due a week tomorrow (Tuesday 30th). If you havent watched them already, please watch the following 2 videos so you know what he is doing and why. Then please follow this link (click here) and donate any money you can to a very wonderful cause…

The Million Metre Row Challenge
The night before the start of 50 half marathons on the Concept 2 indoor rower…
One man, one machine, one million metres!
Indoor rowing
Half a marathon is 21.1 km, or 21,097 metres long. That is a long way. It takes my friend Mark about 1 hour 20 minutes to row it on the indoor rowers here at work. The British record for his division is 1 hour 13 minutes. So Mark is going at a very good pace, and he is working his body hard! Almost everyone I tell is very impressed by this…then I tell them that he is going to do 50 of these half marathons over the course of 60 days…then everyone is impressed! Other ways of saying 50 half marathons include:
