Considering I have decided to challenge myself to run 26 marathons in 2023 to raise money for Cancer Research, I thought I better start running some marathons. So on the 11th February 2023 I took part in the Mon”Key” Marathon. This was my second Marathon of 2023, and day 1 of 2 this weekend. It … More Mon”key” Marathon 2023
Running 100k non-stop is hard work. This is a challenge I have been setting myself annually for a number of years, but it doesn’t matter how many times you do it, the difficulty remains. Running ultra marathons should not be underestimated. They are very different to marathons where you slow down, eating and walking throughout. … More Race to the Stones 2022
On the weekend of the 7th – 8th May 2022 I conqured a fear. I have wanted to take on the challenge of running 100 miles for a long time, but as with all challenges, it takes a lot of courage to just sign up. I have spent years saying I wanted to run 100 … More Thames Path 100
As far as running is concerned, 2021 has been a good year for me. Not on par with 2019, or plans which never happened in 2020, but a good year nevertheless.

On 11th September 2021 I took part in the Kew Gardens 10k. I have been fortunate enough to run Kew Gardens during covid secure times (Kew Gardens 10k 2020 review HERE), and also during pre-covid times (Kew Gardens 10k 2019 review HERE). The event organisers have done a great job this year, managing to take … More Kew Gardens 10k 2021
On 22nd August 2021 I took part in the Big Half Marathon. I have taken part in the Big Half every year, but this is the first time I have not been a pacer. There were no pacers this year, and the race had a fair few differences because of covid measures in place, but … More Big Half 2021
On 29th May 2021 I took on the Kempton Marathon, organised by Richmond Marathon. I didn’t have any huge expectations taking on this Marathon which was put on as an extra to replace the postponed Richmond Marathon. This Marathon was only 10 days after I finished running 11 Marathons in 11 days, so naturally my … More Kempton Marathon 2021

Throughout this blog I will discuss what I … More How I ran 11 Marathons in 11 Days
On 19th May 2021 I finished my challenge of 11 marathons in 11 days. I am over the moon to have finished my challenge. It started out as a challenge of Ten in Ten (TiT) for Cancer Research, but because of event clashes I turned it to 11 in 11. I had one goal, which … More Day 11 of 11: 11 Marathons in 11 Days
