HALSTEAD Amateur Boxing Club’s Vicki Weitz is aiming to run 26 marathons in 26 days.
The challenge will be held between August 1 and August 26 on the Royal Mile as part of the Edinburgh Festival.
Weitz trains every Saturday morning, with the club’s ladies group, to improve her boxing skills and fitness.
In preparation for her marathon challenge, she has successfully used running and boxing to help her get in the best possible shape.
“Combining boxing and running has really helped me improve my stamina and strength over the last year, since joining Halstead Boxing Club,” she said.
