@jbanningww1 @JDRFUK Thanks Jeremy - appreciate it! I was going to take Rufus in my backpack but he was too big, so it’s my son’s monkey instead. Best wishes to you and your daughter.

Day 8 complete! First 10km with @cc_db flew by. Last 10km felt hard. Just Friday and Saturday to go - then I (hopefully) get to M1 junction 1, and see Rach, Rosie and Henry again after two weeks! Onwards! #M1forT1

Seven days done - three to go! A good day running along the Grand Union Canal - under and alongside the M1 - from Crick to Stoke Bruerne, joined by @PeterHeneghan. Video diary later. For now, onwards! #M1forT1

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

And here is the day 5 video diary…#M1forT1 https://t.co/7SmFzpEzPV

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

[Jamie Austin @JamieaaustiN]

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

[Jamie Austin @JamieaaustiN]

Day 3 video is here! Featuring the Austin/Coverdale misunderstanding, train tracks, Sinitta tracks, Hucknall, 1970s comedy and music from Notts duo Bent.

Thanks so much for the continued support, which will help @JDRFUK continue their brilliant work in type 1 diabetes. #M1forT1

[Jamie Austin @JamieaaustiN]

Day 3 done! A little shorter in mileage and slower in pace, but good to keep ticking over. Video diary later, then a break day tomorrow. Back on the road on Friday, running for @JDRFUK. #M1forT1
