Day 6 is done! We ran a slightly shorter route today, but needed extra time to a) collect my cap after bashing my bonce on low-hanging branches (x3) and b) clamber over barbed wire after a wrong turn. Video to follow. Rest day tomorrow. Onwards! #M1forT1

Day 5 completed! Quite a challenging day - after a fast day yesterday and a bit of pain in my knee - but grateful to ‘Barrow Runners’ Katie, Andy and Lucy for their company. (Special mention for Lucy, for putting up with me for the whole route!) Onwards! #M1forT1

Finished day 4. Ended up being a long one as we stopped to do a BBC interview at Notts County for 30 mins! The first image is the total time from my phone, the second is the time from my friend Tom’s phone - he paused when we stopped. Need a rest now ahead of tomorrow…!#M1forT1

I also spoke to a few radio stations. This was me on @BBCSheffield - many thanks to @tobyfoster and the team. I'm on at 1:53:30 (and maybe sounding a bit like Gary Lineker?!): https://t.co/cjzKTTlSvS
