The Putney Gumps are two friends – Johnnie Wraith and Adam Constable – in London,  who have been completing various running challenges over the past 15 years to raise money for charity. They've raised more than £250,000. In 2018, they completed 12 marathons in 12 months and raised over £76,000. Before that, they ran 126 miles over two races within a week, raising well over £36,000. They also ran the 65km Great Strides Ultra Marathon, raising over £10,000. Most recently, in 2021, the pair did 7 marathons in 7 days. The pair raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Downs Syndrome Association. We sat down with Adam to find out more about the challenges and how the pair have carried on going all these years.CHAPTER MARKERS:0:22: Introduction to Adam1:23: The beginning of our running journey2:45: Deciding on the challenges5:59: How they get through the challenges8:35: 7 marathons in 7 days11:05: Raising more than £250k12:35: Inspiration behind the challenges13:57: The impact of the fundraising15:29: Advice for others17:24: Getting through mental blocks18:56: What’s next for the Putney Gumps19:47: What does defiant optimism mean to you?Find out more about them: https://www.putneygumps.co.uk/aboutDonate to the Down's Syndrome Association: https://www.putneygumps.co.uk/aboutDonate to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust: https://www.cysticfibrosis.org.uk/
