6 Nations 60k Training Update

Jan 30, 2026

As the first race approaches, here’s an update from Anthony on his training progress:

“Having built up the running distance during December (including a Christmas Day run!) I completed my first 10k training run early in the New Year:

Our annual ski trip looked like it was going to interrupt training so I decided to try something different – cross country skiing:

It took a bit of getting used to and was exhausting, especially at altitude but definitely made up for not being able to run. Back to pounding the pavements and paths now but I feel like I’m preparing well and will be ready for Glasgow on 8th Feb. Please make a donation if you can to help spur me on”
