Vicky Pattison<\/a> is taking on an epic 250-mile (400km) endurance challenge this October, cycling, running and kayaking from Newcastle to London in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Tyne to Thames\u2019 challenge<\/a> will see Vicky set off from her home city of Newcastle on Monday 5 October, travelling through York, Sheffield, Nottingham and Leicester over five days before finishing at the Heart studios in Leicester Square on Friday 9 October.<\/p>\n

Global’s Make Some Noise, Heart\u2019s official charity, funds projects delivered by small charities across the UK, supporting people affected by life-limiting illnesses, mental health challenges, domestic abuse and poverty.<\/p>\n

\u2018Anyone who knows me knows I\u2019m at my happiest on the sofa, in my comfies, with my dogs, so this is quite literally the opposite of my usual idea of a good time!\u2019 Vicky said.<\/p>\n

And she’s under no illusions about how physically demanding five consecutive days of running, cycling and kayaking will be.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m under no illusion that this is going to be tough, and there will absolutely be moments where I\u2019m wondering why I\u2019ve done this to myself. But that\u2019s the whole point,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n

\u2018Global\u2019s Make Some Noise supports these incredible projects, led by small, local charities doing life-changing work, and if I can push myself completely out of my comfort zone, get a few blisters and hopefully raise a load of money along the way, then I\u2019ll consider every ache, mile and paddle absolutely worth it!\u2019<\/p>\n

How Vicky Pattison is preparing for the 250-mile challenge<\/p>\n

If Vicky’s regular workouts are anything to go by, however, she’s no stranger to pushing herself physically.<\/p>\n

\u2018Working out has always been about keeping her moving, feeling good and getting stronger,\u2019 her PT Rob Horslen previously told WH<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her typical strength sessions include exercises such as Bulgarian split squats<\/a>, thrusters, weighted step-ups and med-ball slams \u2013 all of which help build the kind of full-body strength she’ll need as she tackles three different disciplines over five days.<\/p>\n
