    I shall attempt again in the morning, this time on the running machine as the hill I was on was a little steep.
    Day 2 - Couch

    Day 3 - 4 Mile walk with 8 30 second bursts

    ...but if you planning to travel on foot the 26miles, 385yards, rather than eating that distance in Snickers (421,950 of the disgusting things), then let me know. I would sponsor you to do it, if the cause is a good, just and noble one.
