Stepping away from London life to bask in the Turkish ☀️.

My days have been filled with paddling lessons, relaxing on picturesque beaches, taking in the breathtaking green sea, staying active with the brilliant fitness schedule, and enjoying the 5 star service and luxurious suite... it's been an incredibly delightful trip.

Week 12 of London Marathon Training

Monday - 32km/ 20miles running through Streatham- furzedown- Tooting- Balham- Clapham- Battersea- Sloane Square- Hyde Park and back home.

Tuesday - gym day: HIIT, Gym, Stretch/ mobility, massage and roller, finishing with the Spa

Wednesday - Chase the moon 5k race with the and pacing our new runner to her first ever race. So rewarding! (Worked in the day back to back)

Thursday- rest day (busy in clinic)

Friday - teaching pilates and rest day (loads of clinic work)

Saturday - chilled morning, 5km with in Battersea park! Got my 3rd fastest 5k time 🤩. Not bad whilst thick in training , especially as not pushed that pace for least 18 months.

Lovely wholesome time with 600 other female runners taking up space and being proud of representing the average everyday runner!

Sunday- chilled day with the fam. Tried a run, was not happening so called it a week at 45km total, instead of 55km

Vo2 max still sitting at 43 instead of 44 !
Step count- definitely high end (mon alone gave me over 40k+ steps.
predicted time sitting at 4:39 at present.

Very Happy with that peak intense week.

With a month until the big day, the emotional load of treating injured runners has definitely been high. So close and so much desperation on the air. We will make it folks, have faith.

It’s also dawned on me im likly to be on my periods whilst running London, oh great 😌! (Same in 2024)

Let’s go, two weeks of hard work until we begin taper!

Week 10 -was lacking energy
Week 11- was the comeback I needed!

3 more training weeks left plus 2 taper (winding down) until is upon us. During this the kids will be off for 2 week Easter holidays too 🫣

The marathon has definitely given me the 3-4 runs per week routine that I left doing about April 2005. Where I’d been under 25km week totals, as I recovered from two marathons at the start of that year.

I’m not near the fitness level I was early 2025 but you know what, I’m still moving and I’m more than grateful for it.

Things can change in a blink of an eye, so I’m incredibly proud to be able to train for yet another big start line. Despite what that end time may be.

It’s been quite a full on fortnight but that is life! We keep going and we keep lifting each other! 🫶🏽

So proud of my youngest two kids smashing out their swimathon 1.5km and 1km distances today. They are honestly my hero’s and my inspiration to keep striving forward.

Week 9 of training

I be lying if I said it’s been easy. This week started bright but ended quite overwhelming tbh.

It’s seems once again I’m questioning how privileged I am to be training for a marathon, yet the world around me feels full of hate, discrimination , fighting and some!

Being on my periods, definitely didn’t help the emotions. What started as a bit of anxiety turned into full on… what the hell am I doing!

On Saturday I lost the ability to even see myself as a runner, I felt so much guilt and equally raged at myself for feeling such a imposter.

I wasnt going to share this. But you know what with marathon training being so glamorous online, I wanted to share the ugly side too!

The crying, the doubt, the crap runs, the loss of appetite, the painful period pain when you have a long run of 30km to do, the juggling the family life with trying to hit them peak weeks, the overwhelming laundry piles of sweaty clothes, the sticky gels scattered in the bottom of your legging pocket… this my friends is the dark side.

I feel every deload week (just like tapering) where the serotonin hit is low, the negativity sets in! Am I right?

Anyway if your in the depths of marathon training, this is reminder your not alone. Even though this will be my 4th marathon, no one gets it 10/10 every week of training. Chin up, we go again :)

✌️

8 weeks of train ☑️, 8 weeks until the big london marathon 2026!

This week was all about Seville for me. Having recently watched the 2026 finishers. This week last year, I ran my 2nd marathon (1st international) and got a 2min PB despite the intense heat,
homesickness and walking 40 mins.

This week in my current training plan was a deload week= reducing my week total kms. I reduced it even more as I have 3 very big weeks coming up, so clocked in the recovery and sleep this week. Plus still fasting too.

I opted for evening little runs before opening my fast. Lack of hydration and lower energy levels kept my runs all at easy pace.

So what’s to come…
6 weeks of hard work for that final push. Plus two weeks of taper (pre race reduction in kms) to get fresh legs again 👏🏽
