FINISHING FEELING • This was the hardest race I’ve done so far; The Athens Marathon. Before the race I was in my own head a lot, much like I am now. My mind full of I can’t, I won’t and I’ll fail. • I had to cancel a couple of races before it as I had picked up a stress fracture. Over training and pushing my body too far, too quickly literally broke me. • It was my slowest marathon, I was in pain from start to finish. I got overtaken by the sweeper bus and hundreds and hundreds of other runners. • This was my reaction to finishing; screaming, primevally, at the top of my lungs. Pure relief at having simply endured. • With my first ever 50 mile race only a week away now I am trying to get out of my head and focus on that finishing feeling.

TODAY WAS A STRUGGLE • Having depression is like hugging a grenade. It’s a part of who you are but with no notice, no trigger it can lay you low. • I haven’t been feeling great for the last day or so but felt like getting out for a run might help clear the clouds away. • It didn’t. • My tired legs from yesterday’s gym session gave up in the first few miles so the rest of the run was more of a walk. The personal mind games didn’t help me either. • I’ll be fine tomorrow or the next day but for tonight I’m going to have a beer and eat some junk food.

SWEATY GYM TALK • When I first started running I’d only do it at night because of the fear I had that people would laugh at a 20 stone, thoroughly unfit guy making an effort. • The gym is something I’d never thought I’d use. Why would I want to be in a room full of people fitter than me while I go bright red and sweat like a tap? I feared the judgmental stares. • It was all unfounded and when I finally started going to the gym I realised that everyone is the same, they are just a little further along on their fitness journey then I am. • This pic is of me after today’s knackering session at @challengecotswolds and I now feel content in a gym. Sweat covered, red blotchy face and all. • #transformationtuesday #weightlossjourney #gymmotivation

No medal this week as I’m tapering for the Lakeland50 but I do have EXCITING NEWS: • This year I’m partnering up with @209_events and running The New York City Marathon!! So so pumped to tick off my fourth major and visit a city that has been on my bucket list since I was a kid. • It does mean I’ll be doing two marathons in two weeks; Snowdonia then New York but hey, I love a challenge! • Thank you to 209 Events for the awesome opportunity. More to come about them and the other way to get into the impossible races and get your Six Star Finisher Medal! • #medalmonday #newyorkcitymarathon

Relaxed Run in the Sun • After my 10km run yesterday I thought I’d take today’s run nice and easy especially as it is still roasting outside! • Spent a lot of the run thinking about this time in two weeks when I will be making my way up for my FIRST EVER ULTRA!!! Lakeland50 is getting so close now....
