Matt’s Silverstone Racetrack 10K Challenge

My partner and I are massive F1 fans, attending Silverstone July 2025 for our first time and we absolutely love it, and jumped at the chance to be able to run around the track that such great drivers have driven round!

I wouldn’t say I enjoy running overly, however I have incorporated running in my circuits that I have completed at work alongside peers. I also think it helps as I cannot keep still at work!

My fitness plan is steady, incorporating a gradual increase in distance each week, and overload throughout the session plans. For my mum, it has changed her training completely and she has fallen in love with the challenge and motivation. This has also helped her lose a lot of weight competing with her PT son! Lauren is not a massive gym go’er, however she jumped at the chance to go round the track!

My big tip that I obey is mobility and stretch is HUGE part of the process. I feel amazing once I have completed my pre and post stretching and feel that I recover quicker! Don’t skip these!

My partner and I have worked in the prison service for 6 and a half years, and have noticed a MASSIVE DRAIN on us and the staff that have been and gone in the service. I feel it is important to try and raise as much as we can for those who need support from yourselves. 

We are already pencilling in a plan for a skydive for the Charity next year!
