Hi, Well I've decided that this is the year to get things off my want to do list.
On this is to do the tough guy competition on 27th January 2013. Yes, I'm unfit and fat but I am already training and have a year.
I'm desperate to do this BUT I cant find anyone willing to do this with me. I play rugby and none of the two mens teams are willing to do this, they think I'm crazy.
So my last option is to advertise on here. I'm in Derbyshire, England.
the early bird price is £74 to join. I cant do this on my own and its not cheap so dont want anyone to say yes and then let me down.
Please check out the website www.toughguy.co.uk and see what you think (maybe u tube it, so you know whats what). I promise that I will train and get myself as fit as possible, I will not back out and I will do my utmost to encourage my partner or even better partners on through this course

Thanks for reading

    I'm definately up for one of these races but January next year is a long way out. Anything sooner? There is one in my home town of Leamington Spa on 7th April but I will be overseas that date. Would love to do one this summer.

    I know the race!! I've done the Grim and the Terminator but this one sounds too tough! (Ive done 4 half marathons and one full but think this would be toughert than those too) The thing is... get fit, sign up, and do it! These races are the most amazing atmosphere and you end up leaving any partners and fighting through it in your own pace! I would say just get plenty of friends to come watch and cheer you on (that means more anyway)!! friend me if you like as I would love to follow your training and help keep you positive! A good friend of mine is a trainer who did it this past Jan so I can get some tips for you...go for it and good luck!!!!!

    Hi , your in the same boat as me, my wife and I are going up night before to stay over , I am doing alone as there is no way my wife will do it, lol, I dont mind doing the course with you as encouragement will be good throughout, what sort of fitness level are you at the moment if you dont mind me asking! just to get a idea of what sort of training you are doing.

    You may inbox me if you like instead of posting publicly

    Cheers
