London Marathon 2019

Race Date: 28/04/2019
Location: London

This is one of those races that is on everyone’s bucket list if you’re a runner. I was very lucky, that I had the opportunity to race this, and was able to get in via a charity place. I knew a charity, that was created by one of my cousins, and asked to enter the charity ballot for London, and fortunately enough they got in, and then they ask me to represent them. I am forever grateful, that they gave me this opportunity.

Elsecar Trail Marathon 2018

Race Date: 15th December 2018
Location: Barnsley

This was to be my first Marathon in my journey of running, and I had only booked it as part of my long-term strategy and training for Spring Marathon. I was advised at one point to go through 2 marathon training plans as preparation so that I can be in the best shape for April. So looking at some Marathons available it was a coin toss between the Nottingham Marathon around the water sports centre (9 laps) or Elsecar Trail Marathon (4 laps). Just looking at the number of laps, I decided to go for Elsecar (It was also highly recommended by one of the Striders).
