Our updates
yesterday
Three days of no running, thanks to a nasty cold, gives me time to consider how I got here — four weeks out from my first ever marathon!
Each week on the marathon training I go for one long run by myself, and then three or four shorter runs and meetups , which are all about community.
Whether it's a session on the track with Adidas Runners, the weekly 6.30am popup fitness bootcamps with Project Awesome, an evening social run through the streets of east London with Run Dem Crew, where it all started ten years ago with the regular Saturday morning 5k parkrun or my weekly Friday at 7am, come rain or shine run, with my friend Josephine — these are the people and communities that have brought me to believing that what once seemed impossible, might just actually be possible.
And while I know that ultimately those 26 miles on April 23rd are down to me, I wouldn't be here now without the encouragement and inspiration from all these people and communities — a huge thank you to each and every one of you.
This week's long run was a 22km/13 mile loop, over Tower Bridge, along the north bank of the Thames, crossing over into Battersea Park and then back along the south bank.

This week's long run was a 31km/19mile clockwise loop from Tower Bridge, past Canary Wharf, the Royal Docks, through the lonely Woolwich foot tunnel and then back by Greenwich and home along the river. My pace was a bit slower as I was distracted by all the photo opportunities!

This week's long run was from the the west (Gunnersbury) 20km/12miles alongside the river, and part of my usual cycle to work route. I’m following Hal Higdon’s novice marathon training plan which so far I’ve managed to stick to. Hal reckons that his plan has helped more than a half million runners reach the finish line of a 26 mile 385 yard race, so I've put my faith in Hal's plan - six weeks to go!!
Thank you to the latest sponsors John and Deirdre. Also thanks to Jan who has pledged a Euro for each kilometre of the marathon distance!

I caught the train to Erith and ran back alongside the river for my longest #marathontraining run so far, 28km/17miles. The first half was wonderfully bleak with far too many photographic possibilities. After 20k I was feeling less inclined to marvel at the scenery, so I put my running playlist on and pushed on with thoughts of the hot bath awaiting me.
