About Ben Wolstenholme

I’ll start running when I’m fitter?

No no, repetition is the key to making it work. Don’t wait for something to fall in line to make something else easier (excluding injuries, obviously).

I hear it so often especially in team training like BJJ or MMA. So many people say to me, I’d love to start but I’m not fit enough… you never will be if you don’t start. My energy when it comes to lifting weights or doing BJJ is at an all time high, but my ability to run has taken a massive hit, why? Because I’m not doing it.

To become good at something you have to do it. You wanna run 10km, ok run 1km, walk 4km and build from there.

But trust me, you will never be ready to start a task until you are about 2 months into that specific task, just because you need to build on the repetition.

Please follow me and like my posts so that I can build on this and create task specific content

About The Durrell Dash 2023

Join us at Jersey Zoo for a spooktacular festive Durrell Dash! Our Halloween fun run was postponed due to storm damage, so on Sunday 3 December Jersey Zoo will play host to the annual Durrell Dash, kindly sponsored by Rathbones. 

Run wild to save species from extinction! Choose from the family-friendly 2.6K, jolly 6K, or tremendous 12K. The courses all start and finish at the zoo. 

Registration is open to all runners aged 13+ for the 6K race, 18+ for the 12K race, and 8+ for the family race. 

  • 6K and 12K Race start: 9am | Warm-up: 8:50am   
  • 2.6K family Race start: 10.30am | Warm-up: 10:20am   

We hope runners will join the fun and raise funds to support Durrell's work saving some of the rarest wildlife on the planet. 

Special prizes will be awarded for the highest fundraiser and best-dressed Dashers, so why not wear your favourite Christmas jumper or reindeer antlers! 

All runners will receive an exclusive finisher medal, refreshments at the finish line, and free entry to the zoo. 

Be sure to share your race day photos with us using #DurrellDash2023. 

DO IT FOR DURRELL  
You can stop other animals from disappearing like the dodo! All that remains of this historic bird is a skeleton, but you can make a difference to endangered wildlife across the globe and prevent further species from going extinct. Set up your own fundraising page today so that friends and family can show their support! All funds raised will go towards providing exemplary care for the animals at Jersey Zoo and support global conservation efforts to create a future where wildlife can thrive.  

If you do not plan to set up your own fundraising page, please consider making a donation at registration. Thank you!  

This event is made possible by our kind sponsors, Rathbones.
