Birmingham mum runs 10K every day for a month while fasting for Ramadan – Birmingham Live
As the Islamic’holy’ month of Ramadan draws to a close one mum is celebrating completing 30 days of 10 kilometre runs without any food or drink. As a full-time civil servant working from home and a mum of 3, Alfona has
handled to run the family home and finish her runs throughout the day or night. Starting out a day early before Ramadan, Alfona went a whole 23 hours without food and still handled a test 10K run in preparation for her month ahead.
Running during Ramadan brought its own share of obstacles for Alfona not being able to consume a drop of water throughout her runs. That kept on going till the last run and even now my calves are still sore. I think I’ll begin running once again after a couple of days on and off.
