📞 Pardon, did you call me? The only time you should look back is… To deliver a pose that a lot of people have voted for as your finish line pose. 🤷♂️ I definitely was not in the mood or state to perform and deliver my top potential poses after the London Marathon but I made sure to still get it done. It might not be exactly what you all “voted” for but that’s all you get for now. 💁♂️ Ok jokes aside, The only time you should look back is… To see how far you’ve come! 🫶 Seems appropriate since this time last week I had just finished my 11th marathon. 🤯 📷: @26.2orbust Thanks Dustin for tolerating me acting like a fool 🤣 #oops #sorrynotsorry #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2024 #runner #marathoner #runtoinspire #london #marathon #uk #unitedkingdom #wefinishedtogether #runlondon
This weekend I went for a run to St James’s to see one of London’s most recognisable Art Deco buildings, 55 Broadway 🏃🏻♂️ Did you know? The building features a pair of sculptures by Jacob Epstein - Day and Night - which were heavily criticised and led to Epstein having to chisel almost two inches off Day’s unmentionables to end the uproar. Transport for London vacated the premises in 2020 and it is now being converted into a luxury hotel. Let me know if you have visited 55 Broadway in the comments below 👇 . . . . . . . . . . #55broadway #stjamesspark #westminster #artdeco #londonunderground #tubestation #transportforlondon #londontube #artdecoarchitecture #charlesholden #1900s #londonhistory #explorelondon #visitlondon #londonphotography #seenonmyrun #runlondon
Hoy hace 8 días estaba cruzando la meta de @londonmarathon 🇬🇧🏃🏽♀️ y eso merece un nuevo #PhotoDump 💥… Como lo dije hace poco, cada carrera llega para enseñarnos lo que incluso nunca consideramos que debemos aprender 🤌🏼. • Esta, la empecé con las dudas que nunca había tenido 🥹, la corrí viviendo el esfuerzo de otra manera: “sufriendo” más, pero no gozando menos 🩷 e interiorizando dos lecciones, que a su vez, fueron cosas que me dijeron dos personas en las que creo y confío 🧠. • 1️⃣ Como me dijo @felipemorac: “No en todas las carreras se cumplen todos los objetivos o se hace PR y eso no signica que no lo hayas hecho bien”. 2️⃣ Como me dijo @optimalperformanceminds: “Si has tenido la valentía de hablarle al mundo como lo has hecho, entonces significa que tienes la fuerza oara honrar tu proceso”. • En pocas palabras, creer en nuestra fuerza más allá de las emociones y en nuestro trabajo más allá de los resultados… Me voy de Londres con la medalla de mi TERCERA #WorldMajor 🥇, una experiencia ÚNICA gracias a @newbalance ♥️, una nueva Maratón en 4:00:03 y 3 segundos que algún día superaré 😜. • #BenditaPasion #RunnerSusy @newbalancerunning #RunYourWay #NewBalanceCO #RunLondon #TCSLondonMarathon #LondonMarathon #AbbottWorldMajors #WorldMajorMarathons

LDN Marathon Reflections. How has it been a week already?! I wrote a REALLY long post to go with this picture. Because the whopper of a PB turned out to be such a small part of what I’ve accomplished between taking these sets of pictures. Safe to say the girl in the second ones is so much happier and hopeful. However, that felt a bit like over sharing so, instead just a reminder that not all achievements are as easy to measure or as outwardly visible as a PB. That doesn’t make them less valuable. The destination is an illusion because we don’t ever reach the end, it’s the process I am learning to love. You don’t always hit the goals you set along the way but you might find you hit ones you didn’t think of, and you ALWAYS keep learning things - and not just things about ‘running’!! 5 years ago I’d have said it was impossible for me to run a marathon. I wonder what other impossible stuff I’ll have done in another 5 years. I’m looking forward to finding out 🖤 #raceday #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2024 #runlondon #runday #runninguk #ukrunchat #running #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #runner #runhappy #runhealthy #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunning #runrunrun #runnerslife #runnershigh #rundone #runspiration #runtherapy #mindfulrunning #springrun #superhalfs #londonmarathontraining #pb #racetosavetheworld #foryourworld #racereflections #runna
F I N I S H L I N E F E E L S . Last Sunday I was heading to London super early happy in knowing that I was going to run @londonmarathon as my 6th and last one with no pressure on time after smashing @manchestermarathon the week before. When I was doing Manchester, I realised that I actually don’t hate marathons, but the long runs that I had to put in so that I would have a chance of getting the time I wanted. I made sure that my long runs were done on Thursdays, so that I didn’t disappear for hours on weekends. This meant that even if it rained (and it did 9/10 times!) I would lace up and go and get it done. I did a 5km run yesterday and I put on a podcast with the amazing @a.culling and she said something that is SO TRUE! “When motivation runs out, discipline needs to step in.” All I could think about was those super rainy runs, or the mornings when I would get up at 5am when it was still pitch black and make sure I could fit my training in. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I have no time for excuses. If you want something bad enough, you will find the time for it. With four children and a busy schedule with clients, this wasn’t always easy for me leading up to the marathons, but there was no way I wouldn’t get my training done, even on those miserable days. I am so happy that a lot of my friends and clients have signed up for the London Marathon Ballot. I am stupidly optimistic and think that at least one person I know will get in and I can then help them with their run and strength training! Roll on July and those yes or no emails… #marathon #finishline #londonmarathon #finisher #london #londonmarathon #running #pb #endurance #runlondon #runthecity #marathontraining #marathoner #finished #neveragain #happiness #race #raceday #healthylifestyle #mumoffour #fitnessmotivation #fitmom #personaltrainer #pt

__ How was this already a week ago?? Yet, it feels like a month ago 🤣 I need another vacation after a marathon and then averaging over 20,000 steps a day the week after! #londonmarathon #weruntogether #runlondon #towerbridge #abbottwmm
The plan was to cross halfway in 75-76, tick ✔️75:35… (I went through last year in 75:26, very similar) 👍🏼 however, pushing on into the headwind in the 2nd half becoming spread out with nobody to shield with, plus 2 roadside pitstops with a bad tummy (nerves?), I slowed a bit, drained by the wind.. then faced a painful last 5-10k with sore toes in new model alphas! I crossed the finish line in 2:38. Not l a disaster, my 2nd fastest, but well off the goal I’d been training for, pretty frustrating !😬 What went well? I kept on running!! Believe you can get there, never give up, always give it your best, even if it’s not going perfectly! I normally do long runs solo but I found having no pack to draft with was really noticeable. Nonetheless, being part of the elite race and taking on new challenge was something I’m seeing as an exciting step forwards! Progress isn’t always in the form of a PB, (ran 2:35 last year) .. the training isn’t lost - preparing for next time! 🏃♀️✨ I’ve drawn a lot of positives from this year… The race was different in some ways but the basics were the same - preparation and positivity are your best friend so you’re prepared on day to tackle it with tenacity! - have a pre race plan (mental preparation, visualisation of the course and organisation) - get your nutrition and kit all sorted, prepared and packed well in advance - have a clear personal plan for pace, including a range - and a tried and tested plan for race nutrition / kit & shoes - have a set of mantras or focus points for mental energy, draw energy from the crowd / the pack / from within - begin settling down to bed early the week before - pre race nerves can sometimes interfere, follow a good routine - have a warm up routine - stretches, activation, drills… - remember, aim to enjoy the run and smile when you can!! @londonmarathon #londonmarathon #runlondon #londonmarathon2024 #marathontalk #runcoach #athlete #marathonprep #marathontraining #marathon #marathongoals #runnersworld #ukrunchat

Primer #PhotoDump 📸 de varios que vienen en camino, porque la experiencia que viví gracias a @newbalance no se supera rapidamente ❤️🔥😮💨🤌🏼… Estar en Londres es un sueño 🇬🇧, vivir todo lo que ocurre alrededor de un World Major es único 🏆, pero haberlo vivido como una consentida de la marca más importante de esta carrera, es indescriptible 🔝. • 🛌 El hotel: Hoy poy hoy, uno de los mejores en Londres. Más allá de eso, parecía un universo propio de NB. El nivel de detalle es indescriptible. ✨ Los regalos: Cada que llegábamos a la habitación había un regalo y cada rincón tenía “algo” escondido para nosotros. 🛥️ El recibimiento: Una cena en un bote (otro universo paralelo de NB) navegando por el Támesis, viendo el atardecer y conociendo los rincones más emblemáticos de la ciudad de noche. 🙌🏼 Las personas: Todo el mundo unido por el poder de una misma marca. Siempre será especial conocer personas de cada rincón del mundo, gracias a una misma pasión. 🏃🏽♀️ Experiencias: Cada momento fue WOW, pero haber tenido la oportunidad de llegar hasta la meta un día antes de la carrera es un privilegio único. 🖤 La logística: “Hats Off” al equipo de NB, porque no se equivocaron en NADA y sencillamente cada minuto fue perfecto y cada cosa, pensada para todos los corredores que estábamos allí. • Si esta fue la bienvenida, ahora imagínense el día de carrera 🥹. #BenditaPasion #RunnerSusy @newbalancerunning #RunYourWay #NewBalanceCO @londonmarathon #RunLondon #TCSLondonMarathon #LondonMarathon #AbbottWorldMajors #WorldMajorMarathons

Catford #parkrun was harder than last week - there were intervals & the longest run since October in my legs but only a few seconds slower, so pretty happy.

Sub-1:10 10k 🥳 … even after running 3k beforehand. Not sure I’ve run a 10k that quickly since 2021 … maybe? Definitely didn’t intend to do this - was actually trying (and clearly failing) to stick to a lower pace - until halfway through when I thought I might be able to do it. And I only thought I’d throw up twice in the last kilometre! 😂 1:30 run / 0:30 walk
Marathon training has some benefits... Even all of the extra food, still resulting in a net loss of bad and increase of muscle. Still have a bmi over 25. But feeling as fitnas ever! Support my cause Craiglambie.com/donate #runlondon #marathon #marathontraining

London Marathon 2024 🇬🇧 what a rollercoaster.... Firstly, thank you to everyone who came out to support me in the race (even the people who mis-read "Army" and called me Amy - I'll take anything 🤣). Not quite the race I wanted but a PB is a PB so I'll take that (2.40.08). I came 7th in the mass start, 10th British Female overall, 1st Inter-Service and Army 😍 But the best part was my Dad making the trip to London and surprising me during the race! It's been a bit of a tough week since I've only just found out my time and it was frustrating that the issue was out of my control. It meant that it tainted my feelings about the race and any sense of accomplishment. But mainly I was embarrassed and felt that I had to explain that it wasn't me who ran 2.25. The silver lining is that people have been incredibly supportive and have sent me some wonderful messages - which makes me feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such lovely people. Also, it fills me with confidence that people actually believed I was capable of 2.25 - I'm taking this forward and just using it as valuable experience and motivation. Thank you for everything @davewilki66 and @thamesvalleyharriers - my wonderful coach and team. To @britisharmysport @armyathleticsassociation @britisharmyxtra @talentedathleteuk for their continued support and the chance to wear the Army vest at such a big event! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #LondonMarathon #MarathonFinisher #RunningLondon #MarathonAccomplished #RunLondon #Marathoner #LondonMarathon2024 #RunningCommunity #MarathonTraining #LondonRunning #RunnersHigh #MarathonChallenge #RunForACause #PersonalBest #MarathonMemories #RaceDayPerformance #PodiumFinish #ChampionMindset #MarathonVictory #CompetitiveSpirit #AthleteLife #LondonMarathonElite #RecordBreaking #TopRunner #MarathonChampion #VictoryLap #FastFeet #LondonPodium

Very very much didn’t want to do this this morning; stood outside repeating ‘just don’t then’ at myself for at least 5 mins. But it was a success - mile repeats somewhere in the middle of 6:27 and 6:29 per km, and I didn’t once stop and pause the watch for a little pointless but much needed break. 13 km at the weekend …
Marathon de Londres ⭐️⭐️⭐️ J’ai longtemps hésité à poster. J’ai passé 15 semaines à m’entraîner, à faire des concessions pour concilier sport, travail, famille, amis. J’ai passé des heures à courir, à caler des séances à 5h45 ou après le travail. A faire abstraction aux bas de certains moments pour arriver sur le départ pleine de rage et de hargne pour faire ce que j’aime le plus, ce qui me fait vibrer et me sentir libre : courir. Et puis en un claquement de seconde tout bascule. Je mange un truc avarié la veille de la course, je me réveille en vomissant, des douleurs de ventre atroces et je me demande comment je vais pouvoir prendre le départ de ce marathon. J’essaie d’oublier, de me dire que tout vas bien se passer, de faire abstraction à ces douleurs et je me reconditionne sur ma course. Mais je vomis à nouveau à plusieurs reprises. Je prends le train direction le départ et l’enfer continu. Je vomis à nouveau. J’arrive enfin dans mon sas et je me conditionne en espérant que tout se passe bien. Je prends le départ et je me rends compte rapidement que dans mon état il va falloir que je me batte. Je dois m’arrêter à plusieurs reprises pour des douleurs au ventre. Pour la première fois de ma vie je me demande ce que je fais là, et je sais que le chemin va être long. Mon cerveau est en contradiction, chahuté entre le fait d’abandonner ou de persévérer. Je me mets en pilotage automatique, et j’avance un pied devant l’autre pour enfin franchir cette ligne en 3h45.. Je suis dégoûtée de ne pas avoir profité. Dégoûtée de ne pas avoir vécu Londres comme je voulais. Mais je suis fière de l’avoir fait. Fière d’avoir été au bout malgré la souffrance. Des marathons il y en aura d’autres et je compte bien revenir prendre ma revanche ! Merci à mon mari et mes parents pour leur soutien en ce jour si particulier. Je vous aime ❤️ #marathon #londonmarathon #42km #runlondon #marathonrunner #marathoner #london

Thinking about my time in London and reflecting all the things I learned about myself and my racing. This was the best I had felt in a marathon in 3 years. I have been through a lot of ups and downs with racing. It has humbled me greatly and made me appreciate what my body does! I'm so happy to be back home, but man....I'm going to absorb the power of those London crowds! I cried a lot during this race. To hear my name being cheered, so much was amazing! I'm so grateful for that crowd! #RADrabbit #leagueofgarmin #nuunambassador #teamvpa #teamvicta #vegan #veganrunner #run #runner #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #London #runlondon #londonmarathon #marathonrunner #marathontraining #bostonhopeful #fitness #26point2 #femalerunner #runhappy #runrunrun

Yesterday’s run which I ran out of time to post - 12.5 cold km through the parks of Charlton and then along the Thames, my legs felt less tired at the end so quite positive! On the 🎧 @theenemyband - inspired by the Coventry fans singing ‘We’ll Live & Die in These Towns’ (which I started with) on Sunday. #longrun #maryonwilsonpark #thamesbarrier #thamespath #running #ukrunchat #runlondon #instarunners #instarunning #parkrun #parkrunuk #runnersofinstagram #runningphotographer #runningphotography #runningpunks
I love having a job that leads into all sort of different places and to meet different people. Today was all about meeting the amazing team @volume1climbing to talk about the upcoming team wellbeing session @embrace_adventurescic and I are planning for them. Wild swimming in a beautiful spot, hot drinks and chat around a roaring fire, a shared challenge away from the usual distractions of work - what could be better. Thanks @ben.can.read for letting us use the slide😜 and so looking forward to meeting the whole team. Oh and lunch 😋 🥯 👏🏻 🏊♀️ 🔥 🏊🏾 #runsurreyhills #runningwild #runcoach #swimrun #surreyguide #ukrunchat #getoutdoors #runlondon #surreyhills #trailrunning #weswimwild #thisgirlcan #runnersworld #fellrunner #trailrunninglife #righttoroam #trailrunningadventure #mountainleader #embraceadventures #natureconnectedness #northdowns #ultrarunning #wildswimming #coldwaterswimming #swimcoach #openwaterswimcoach #socialprescribing

Finish line focus 🏁🏃🏼♀️ I hadn’t looked at my watch for 2 miles. I had zero interest in what it said my pace was or what my splits were. I just wanted to see that finish line.🙃 My Coaches instructions going in to @londonmarathon were to focus; to trust him, to run to the 3 mile splits he gave me, to relax (always - being stressed is a sure way for me to fail) and most of all to ‘enjoy it ‘cos it’s really special’ 🥹💫 The look on his face when I saw him at mile 12 and shouted ‘shall I slow down??!’ 🙈 Who does that??!😂 I have a few tips for success in running but the best thing you can ever do is get yourself a great Coach who really knows you.

She might be limping a little but she’s dead pleased with herself. She’s even putting the splits on the post because not only did she actually stick to the plan’s progressive splits (just in at the top end of each), she was hella consistent! 🥳 And tomorrow, we’ll book in the shin splint sorter 😬
Cannot describe the feeling 🏃🏼♀️ #londonmarathon #londonmarathon2024 #marathon #buckinghampalace #london #runlondon #royalbritishlegion #finishline #tcslondonmarathon

@runthroughuk 20.4.2024 Lee Valley Velopark 10 km Un bellissimo allenamento "veloce" di 10 km per sgranchire le gambe! Un circuito di circa un miglio "su e giù" per niente lineare, da ripetere 6 volte cioè fino ad arrivare alla distanza dei 10km. Miglioro il mio tempo su questa gara di circa 1 minuto, arrivando inaspettatamente 3^ assoluta femminile e ricevendo la 🏅 medaglia con cinturino dedicato di 10km e 3^ Place 🥹😍🤩 Ho indossato la mia bellissima mantellina antivento fucsia della @iovedodicorsa che mi ha protetta dal vento ma allo stesso tempo mi ha fatto traspirare il sudore. Ormai non ne posso più fare a meno. #runlondon #runtroughuk #parkrun #patk #workout #10km
London Marathon 2024! It’s taken me a while to post my photos from the day as it’s been a very emotional few days post race. A race that was truly a game of 2 halves. The first half could not have started better. Super positive vibes in the blue start area with member of Team @younglivesvscancer runners and members of Facebook support group. Managed to meet @halll012 on time and as planned at mile 4. I was blown away by the support around Cutty Sark and Greenwich. We were having the time of our lives. The second half was a total different story. We hadn’t quite planned on ending up in medical tent at the end of mile 14 after Lydia experienced severe stomach cramps. We had an anxious wait of 25 mins before she was told she couldn’t continue on medical grounds. It was heartbreaking to see her I so much pain and I’m gutted for her. I then had to resume the run on cold legs, now stiff with lactate. It was a physical and emotional rollercoaster all the way to the finish and, quite honestly, I don’t think I could have finished the race without the support of the other runners and so many friends who were out supporting or volunteering that day. I took energy, motivation and inspiration from you all - some special thanks to my family for being there at mile 19 and also: @shrek7855 @mike_the_korican @jaythecaptain @mentalstrengthrunner @dannichef_runs @sports_tours_international @jackdlee87 @r1chjb @ and all the other runners who gave me a boost with their fist bumps and selfies. I might have helped you in training but you helped me cross the finish line. Overall a bittersweet finish. Thankful that Lydia is on the mend and we will be back to finish the job together next year.

Congratulations @jamie__steinberg on completing Sundays #londonmarathon A 25th hour entrant made the challenge that bit harder and certainly unorthodox to say the least but Jamies ruthless determination truly paid off. There were some dark times out on the course but with the love & support of his friends & family Jamie ran a fantastic 4:38, there really is nothing like your first. Very well done Jamie, you were fantastic to work with and absolutely crushed it #marathon #marathontraining #marathonrunner #marathonfinisher #runlondon #raceday #drivenbypassion
“My body remembers and knows what to do” . I’m proud of this one, and the decisions I made to get here. 20 weeks out from race day I got covid. I wasn’t particularly ill, but I had lingering symptoms, including extreme fatigue and wonky heart rate, for upwards of two months. 10 weeks ago I wasn’t even sure I’d get to the starting line, let alone the finish line. . On Jan 13 I did a 3 mile run that felt grueling. I wrote on Strava, “My body is just not bouncing back from covid, and it sucks.” . I cut alcohol out completely that day and haven’t had a sip in 100 days (and counting). If I was going to do this marathon, I didn’t need any other factor preventing my body from recovering. I cross trained a bit. I took baby steps towards building back. During this time, we were finally able to move back into our condo after nearly 8 months of being displaced. . I started working with @emilysaulboston to sharpen the mental side of things and form a goal for London that didn’t involve the time on the clock. It was a major mindset shift for me, and it took time and practice to get there. . On February 19 I did a 10 mile run and wrote “First double digit run post-covid and finally feeling pretty good.” . From there on out I just focused on making sure I got my long run in every weekend, and used them as a time to practice what Emily taught me. I did no speed work. My weekly mileage never even crested 30. An unorthodox approach, but it’s what I believed would work for me. I couldn’t risk doing too much too fast. . Something clicked in my last few long runs. My pace was trending faster than I expected it to, given the circumstances, and it was really steady despite the fact, or maybe because of the fact, that I wasn’t focusing on it. Sometimes you need to get out of your own way and let your body do what it’s capable of. And that’s exactly what I did on race day. No pressure. A healthy mix of joy and grit. I couldn’t have pictured a better day. #tcslondonmarathon #londonmarathon #runlondon
Ten slides, Ten sides, Ten feelings and emotions! These feelings I can’t explain but one thing I can say is that it was well worth it. Never a doubt I was going to cross that line for you sis 🕊️and for you I go run many miles! But it came with challenges, mental test, believing strongly even when my body wanted to give up you can see in slide 5 & 6 😂. But the WHY is to strong to give into my body coupled with the support from family, friends, strangers and fellow participants of which I’m very grateful because you all made this possible ❤️ This is also to encourage everyone find that inner burning desire and let it fuel your life, what the mind can do is insane trust me. I Remember sharing this goal with a few people 3 years ago 😂, let’s not go into the response I got from them. But you owe it to yourself to always prove to YOURSELF that you can DO anything you set your mind to IF YOU ARE WILLING TO DO THE WORK. To @childrenwithcanceruk thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to such a great cause in honour of my sister. For this I will forever be grateful and I will definitely be seeing you again soon ❤️ To everyone who believed, supported, prayed and even came out on that day may God bless you and thank you for everything you all are the real mvp ❤️ 26.2 miles = 5hr30m ☑️ unto the next, you might be seeing me in your city next 🤪 #londonmarathon #lm24 #weruntogether #42km #ican #londonmarathon2024 #runlondon #cuttysark #towerbridge #lifestyle #believe #saf

“A PB isn’t a time or a distance it’s a feeling” - @tomtrotter_ This is what London Marathon was to me this year. It was about a feeling and I’m walking away with that new PB feeling This race was never about time. I wasn’t ever going to get close to my time PB and was even further away from my previous time goal for Berlin This marathon was about being stood on the start line, it was about being proud of how far I’ve come and telling myself that I can do this. I stood up in a field in Blackheath, trying to shelter from the wind, waiting to starting, KNOWING I was going to cross that finish line I smiled the entire way around, even when it sucked, I was loving it I got to do something I love, I got to push my limits and challenge myself. I did something that for a long time I thought was going to be impossible. That’s a hell of a privilege to have. But I did it. I stood on the start line of one of the biggest marathons in the world, and crossed the finish line 4:49:17 seconds later. It wasn’t in the time I’d gone out to finish in, I’d been bang on pacing up to about 15 miles then had to slow down. But I couldn’t care less There will be more times in my life to run faster And that is the plan But for now it’s about feeling the feels, and owning the “I did that” Fuck yeah I did You really can do anything ✌🏽🚀
So long, London Had a good run 🇬🇧 #tcslondonmarathon #londonmarathon #runlondon #abbottwmm #abbottworldmarathonmajors #worldmarathonmajors

R U N C O M M U T E 🏢🎒 Packed off my nerdy little running rucksack and headed off for a run home from the office today. Overall it was really nice and whilst it takes longer than a cycle or the tube, it’s a hell of a lot nicer than getting on the tube at Bank at rush hour 🥴 It’s about 11k from the City to where I live, which is very do-able but takes a bit of planning! Unfortunately due to my work from home patterns I have to run with my laptop 💻 in my rucksack as I need it at home tomorrow, which is NOT ideal. My back is feeling it a bit now! I did my running rucksack up as tight and best I could but it still didn’t feel as secure as it should have. Some more experimenting needed methinks 💭 I used to run home from work quite a bit in a pre-covid life where I went to the office every day and just left stuff there. It’s a bit harder nowadays with a different routine but I’m glad I did it - decent midweek distance done, fresh air, money saved on the tube and home to pjs and pasta 🍝 Who else does a run commute to or from work?

I promise I’ll stop talking about the marathon soon, but I’m still on cloud 9 from running and don’t feel like I’ve properly celebrated, so will relive the day through photos instead. Treated myself to the official photos from the day, as the likelihood I’ll be lucky enough to run London Marathon again is very low, (she says after obviously applying through the ballot the first day it opened and before I’d actually run 😂) and these are my faves from the selection. Glad to see I have a smile on my face for most of them, it was honestly the best day and even through the pain of putting your body through that distance, and the mental challenge of keeping your body going when it wants to stop, the crowds keep you going and keep you energised. I feel the last photo is a good representation of how you feel at the finish of 26.2 miles, blurry and all over the shop! I’ve wanted to run London Marathon for so long, and after having kids never would have thought I’d be able to physically run a marathon, let alone get the training in along with regular life, so I’m so proud of myself for this achievement. Feeling absolutely knackered now but there’s no rest with our two, so if you see me with even tinier eyes than normal, feel free to pour coffee in them! . . . #londonmarathon #firstmarathon #veganrunners #weruntogether #postpartumrunning #marathon #runlondon #ukrunning #runningmum #londonmarathon2024
