Doyle completes gruelling Paras Winter 10 Miler
Serial record breaker completes another tough assignment
Fog, uphill inclines, slippy footpaths and numerous stiles, tested Warwickshire’s former Para Paddy Doyle's powers of endurance to complete the National Virtual Paras 10 Miler, carrying a 30lb backpack, at Yarningale Common and Claverdon South Warwickshire.
This brought the total of career documented fitness endurance challenges and World Records to 1,049 for Doyle, a WUMA black belt 4th dan and serial record breaker.
“The damp weather conditions and fog made the route more challenging,” he said.
“All cross country feats produce different times, especially carrying a military weighted 30 lb backpack.
“But it was great to have participated in the virtual Paras 10 miler along with serving and veteran Paratroopers around the UK.”
Pushed by his loyal support team, Doyle stuck to a tactical speed march, this was due to leaves covering large ground tree routes, which could have led to an injury.
The last mile was perfectly timed, as Doyle had enough gas in the tank to step up the pace over the arduous cross country 10 mile course, finishing in a time of 2hrs. 09 min. 49 sec.
