Now in its fifth year, the Cancer Research UK fundraising series has proven to be a 'stayer' in the ever-increasing and competitive 10k marketplace. Where else would you get the chance to run through the grounds of the UK's most beautiful locations whilst at the same time raising money for charity? The courses pass through gardens, parkland, and woods, and include landscapes created by the famous eighteenth-century architect Capability Brown. With over thirty venues in the series, ranging from completely flat MOCK EXAM land to gentle slopes and challenging hills, there is bound to be one suitable for you - whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned competitor. In complete contrast to the type of settings, the entry process is entirely modern: online only, with no entries accepted on the day itself. The website contains all the information you need; choose a run suitable for your level, find tips on fundraising and collecting the money, download a training planner and get in contact with other runners. The aim is to raise £3.8 million - no mean task in this tough fundraising market - but the uniqueness of the venues on offer, coupled with the opportunity to run in areas of the grounds where no runners have ventured before, adds to the appeal of this very special series. Taking place in September and October, our target is to get 36,000 runners raising money for Cancer Research UK.

While not disputing her prediction that it will be the norm a century from now to live to 100 and beyond, l would nevertheless argue there is a genetic limit that will impose a ceiling for everyone. My main concern, however, is what shape we will be in by then. The last 2.0 years have shown a startling rise in the number of obese people in the western world, and there is not a shred of evidence that the trend won't escalate. In fact I believe the change in body weight will be one of the most dramatic shifts in evolutionary history, continuing to have most impact on those under 20, for whom weight-related diseases and premature deaths will be an inevitable consequence. Every pharmaceutical company is pumping money into is this area but I'm sceptical about the idea of a miracle cure. Drugs can only reinforce our voluntary efforts to cut down our food intake and the same is true of a 'fitness' cure. That is not to say that there aren't genes for body shape, good health and so on, but the benefits of exercise on body and mind are so complex that drugs will never be able to replicate these advantages. Although our great-grandchildren will still have to work out to be healthy, a great body might be easier to achieve. Research has already uncovered a single human gene that can increase muscle mass by almost thirty per cent. Ironically, rather than changing our attitudes, I fear that advances in science will mean that we will become even more obsessed by physical perfection and youth. It is likely that, as scientists develop ways of giving us wrinkle-free completions, body ideals will also move on even further towards the increasingly unattainable - the very thin and beautiful. TEXT C: £10,000 UP FOR GRABS! The Mind gym is offering £10,000 in prize money for cutting-edge research into the latest thinking about thinking. To stay ahead of our game we are looking for the latest and best research in the field of hands-on psychology, so that we can use your findings in our books and workshops. The research can cover any subject with universal appeal to an adult population, such as how an optimistic nature affects your life - anything so long as it’s positive and can benefit everyone, not only certain sectors of the population. It should lead directly to plausible implications and the possibility of being applied in real world situations by the general population. Whether you’re a student, researcher, professor or policymaker, there’s more than a penny for your thoughts. The prize is open to everyone and submissions from new researchers are especially welcome. If the work has been done by more than one person, all authors must be signatories and divide any winnings accordingly. Submissions may be published or unpublished reports, carried out in the last two years, but it’s your responsibility to ensure that there are no competing claims for intellectual property rights or copyright. Since we are looking for quality rather than quantity, the research should be no more than 8,ooo words. Your research must withstand critical scrutiny and be rigorous in terms of the framing of the research questions, data collection, analysis and interpretation of results. Not scared off? If you are still up for the challenge, submit your proposal here.
