I will be covering a distance of approximately 855 miles over 20 days.</div> <div> </div> <div>I'll be leaving from Land's End on the morning of Monday 5th September, and with the help of some friends l'll be running between 40 to 50 miles a day, mostly on road.</div> <div> </div> <div>Yes, I have my concerns. Running, however, is the least of them! I wonder how much of a problem my tinnitus will be with having road noise around me for approximately 10 hours a day. I worry about not hearing traffic around me (as I have no direction of sound). </div> <div> </div> <div>I'm also apprehensive about how I will cope with fatigue and the nausea associated with it. I have good support around me though, and we're working hard in training to overcome these issues as best we can.”</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss out. </div> <div> </div> <div>The Tough Girl Podcast is being sponsored throughout March by @inov_8</div> <div> </div> <div>Use <strong>TOUGHGIRL20</strong>
