No filters needed, easily the best oat flat white in Tonbridge. You would be amazed how many shops butcher a flat white. Burnt coffee, split oat milk 🤢 and not to mention the price. Cudos to @bridge_deli silky smooth Milk and @_penelope.coffee perfect match, oh and still under £4 come on people help the high street. #coffee #highstreetcoffee #flatwhite by @ajd_1986

Every week is different, every training plan is different, goals change but the why should be constant.
I run/move because it makes me feel good, keeps my isms at bay.

Strong start to the week feeling fitter and beginning to enjoy the toughest of sessions

Week ended with missing the long run the key run for the week due to a family emergency. Old me would have gotten inside my head and punished myself. ITS JUST ONE missed session. Get over it park it tomorrow is a new day

Shout out to @runlimited.ldn and @cadence for the invite to the orange soda drop🍊best one yet nostalgic kenan & Kel vibes #run #runcommunity #adhd by @ajd_1986

Free Coffee Fridays with a twist, a collaboration thought of by the gods. @barebells.uk , @ownersclubcafe Que says it all great coffee accompanied by your daily protein hit. The 247 protein coffee is a must in this weather. @barebells.uk vanilla shake with an espresso shot over ice. Hits hard, followed by a cinnamon swirl bar . . 🤤
Shoutout to and @sammyrolesy all the staff @ownersclubcafe working like crazy. #coffee #protein #londonstyle by @ajd_1986

@londonmarathon , wow the city comes alive on marathon week. London Marathon 2026 super lucky to have witnessed sporting history 1:59:30 incredible @sebastiansawe to the last finisher all of you are runners. The running boom has truly gone from strength to strength but I feel we have lost sight on being grateful to be healthy enough to run. The word “just” goes before everything just a 5km just a half marathon. These distances are not to be taken lightly. If you put one foot in front of the other your a runner and well done. Today’s marathon celebrates this and long may it continue. Huge shout out to @camjswan well done for getting it finished and raising money for a great charity All you @brkedoff runners well done by far the loudest cheer zone. I was fortunate to attend some events this week great event hosted by @on for their lightstike tour the enervation on their new products is crazy And great event hosted by @saucony_eu and @brkedoff loads of great people and good times had. #runningmotivation #londonmarathon by @ajd_1986

Lisbon Half Marathon block done ✔️ 89 Training days
665km ran
One Million lessons learnt
Honest feedback is I wasn’t fit enough to sustain the pace needed for the time I had intended.
Was is realistic? Maybe not.
Positives ; training hard consistently for 89 days showing up and doing what the @coopahruncoach plan told me to do, taking 6minutes off my half marathon time in 12 months, meeting new people and still enjoying running at 40. Shoutout to all the run clubs, training partners and anyone who was on the journey

Weekly catch up;

currently on night shift at work so training is always tough. Trying to keep on top of sleep, eating habits, family chaos and @coopahruncoach plan 🤯

Sleep is something I struggle with at the best of times. I have been taking Ashwagandha an hour before bed and limiting fluid intake 2 hours before sleep seems to help stop those mid sleep toilet trips.

Eating those that know me would say I love my food but really don’t eat enough for the amount of training I do. I’m also in the midst of getting an adult ADHD diagnosis, having researched also that neurodiverse brains like mine need more calories due to the energy expenditure. More of that to follow . . .

Training has been going well started off feeling low and groggy start of the week. Hugo day was smashed having attended Brked off run club. Truly top people so welcoming makes an old man feel young again.
todays Sunday feel really good race pace on tired legs felt good and heart rate was controlled. Trying to really dial in on the nutrition currently experimenting with Maurten 120 and Strykr Caffeine gel no stomach upset.

Saturday rare child free day with the boss and we attended the saucony maze event and what an event,
Huge shout out to @ibbymotosho @saucony_eu top job put south London on the map Onto next week remember consistency is key #lisbonhalfmarathon2026 #consistencyiskey #trainlife by @ajd_1986

January came and went. Finished the month on 297km lessons learnt, and mental strength gained. 5 weeks left until @lisbonmarathonandhalf. locked into the speed phase focusing on leg turnover. February’s word is consistency. #keeprunning, #consistencyiskey, #mentalstrength by @ajd_1986

Today I gave my offering to the marathon gods of sweat and tears. This is my votive offering in return I hope for an injury free block. 19km of hard work on my ones so many times I wanted to stop, walk, give up. I knew that if I could tick this session off it would give me a huge boost. Keep going people the harder the training the greater the reward #superhalfs #lisbonhalfmarathon #rungods #justdontquit by @ajd_1986

Another week banked, enjoyed some tough sessions. The kind of sessions that you look back on after the event and say that’s what made me better.

Managed to incorporate three weights sessions having neglected these previously.

Sleep has been up and down with late shifts but trying my best to get at least 7 hours finding cadence sleep to be key

Enjoy your Sunday and hit the week hard tomorrows Monday people a fresh start by @ajd_1986
