I have recapped, I have revisited, and I have reflected. You are probably sick of hearing about London Marathon by now, and you will be happy to hear that this is not another post about the race, but many people have reached out to ask…what’s next? Time to share: I already told you it is…

You have read my race recap and I covered the elite experience and build up. As you know, I did have a great race, and it really was the most enjoyable race I have ever run, but was that just down to good luck? I am sure you already know the answer to this; absolutely not. Anyone…

Thank you so much for all your support and feedback over the past week. Wow. I just cannot believe (well….actually knowing you all I can) just how happy you are for me to do well. Honestly, I am not really sure why. I did not undergo anything special, and I know a heck of a…

Originally, I had intended on writing about my experience as an elite first; the VIP treatment, the wonderful weekend, the after race excitement, but I just feel like I should cover the race itself first, as after all, that was what this was all about. While it is fresh in my mind, and I am…

On Wednesday I covered the first 13 miles of my debut marathon. Click HERE to read Part I. Today I will cover the second half; the part where it really gets interesting (well, I hope). Even if I can prevent just one person from going through what I did those last 7 miles, then exposing…
