London Marathon 2025

I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!

MY STORY: This will be my third London Marathon as a member of #TeamBreathe raising such important funds for a lesser known charity than many we all know well.

As a long term sufferer of asthma, I will be running for Asthma and Lung UK (who were truly awesome in 2023 & 2024, on hand the whole way with training and support).

Our lives have all been touched in recent years by those affected by Covid and the added complications for those with underlying breathing difficulties. Being selected to represent #TeamBreathe again in 2025 is an absolute honour.

1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition during our lifetime. Asthma + Lung UK is the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe.

All donations are so greatly appreciated and will help me through the pain on 27 April 2025.

Thank you so much for reading - Andy

Week 1 of 16 - We’re Off!

Friday 10th Jan
Part way through week 1 which will be about 22 miles in total. First 4 weeks are about setting a strong base to then build speed and endurance to with a Half Marathon planned on 9th Feb to see where I’m at. Five / six runs per week with 3 / 4 pre work before 6am. This is where the commitment gets tested good and proper!

16 week training block starts tomorrow!

Sunday 5th Jan
Can’t wait to be there again on 27th April. It’s a tough day but these 16 weeks are the toughest. If it all goes well, it’s a victory lap around London. #project330

Training block starts 6 Jan

Wednesday 18th Dec
Full plan has been set and looks like I’ll be pounding out 500 miles before the big day on 27th April. 

Ticking over at the moment but very much focussed on a. hitting an awesome target for Asthma and Lung UK and b. Achieving a PB at London of <3hrs 30 🤞🏻. 

Will post weekly updates on this page from now on so thank you in advance for all your help and support on this journey 👍🏻
