St Ives fundraiser completes 31 marathons in 31 days



Bird told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire’s Dotty McLeod: “I was thinking that the last week to 10 days would be the hardest, but it was actually the first week to 10 days.”I think that was just my body trying to fight what I was doing.”But as she adapted to the routine, the running became easier, despite running in one of the hottest Mays on record.”We can’t be halfway through a marathon at 30C, 32C, so we would start very early in the morning, start at 06:30 in the mornings when it was so hot,” said Bird.On cooler days, she would set off at 09:00, and on Saturdays and Sundays at 09:30.
