I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!
Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 2025 for Asthma + Lung UK, the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.
Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
My Updates
Apologies for lack of updates......
Thursday 24th Oct Hi all, apologies for the lack of updates. Things have been a bit chaotic recently.All kinds of everything...including the unexpected
Saturday 31st Aug Headed off on holidays with the prospect of the Antrim coast half marathon looming in the background (planned for a day after I returned home). As such, the plan was to get a couple of runs in while the others lay up at the pool telling me I was 'crazy for running in that heat'. Between the croissants and beer I was able to squeeze in a couple of runs - an easy 6 mile and a faster 7 mile.New running partner and a badly timed race 😂
Monday 12th Aug Hey everyone, just a quick check in on progress. Got a few runs completed over the last few days including a quick 5 mile with Matthew (8 yr old son). Think he's caught the running bug as he also completed his first junior park run on Sunday morning (shout out to all the keep er lit team for facilitating a great weekly event).Another week down
Sunday 28th Jul Another week, another few miles in the legs. Great to get out and about and when the weather is nice it's all the better.And we're back!
Sunday 7th Jul First week back to near normal after the fracture. Great to be able to run 'properly' again. Just a bit of zone 2 running during the week (if you pass me on the Cookstown road, rest assured I'm not struggling, I'm going that slow in purpose 😂) and then finished the week with hill work at tullyhogue fort. Tough going, but sure nobody said it should be easy!Treadmill of doom....but it will be worth it
Sunday 30th Jun Stress fracture on the mend and to mix it up a bit I've started back on the treadmill. 5 mile on the treadmill feels like 20 road miles. Sticking with the run/walk approach for now. Hopefully get the milage up again soon and start a few long runs.Stress fracture....one step at a time
Sunday 23rd Jun Good to get a few runs under the belt, albeit very slow runs. Recovering well from a tibial stress fracture so it's going to be slow and steady for a few more weeks. Sessions so far have been short distance (3-5 mile), 2min run, 2 min walk etc. So far so good.The Why....
