@londonmarathon will always be a special race for me. I ran my first marathon here in 2019 in a time of 4hrs 34mins. I then ran here again in 2022 knocking almost 2 hrs off my time finishing in 2hrs 36mins - this qualified me for an England vest to represent my country. 2024 I am taking on London Marathon again, this time in the elite field and I honestly couldn’t be prouder of myself. I have and always will struggle with huge imposter syndrome and feeling like I am not good enough. It’s moments like this when I reflect on this journey and think ‘I did that’. No one in my family has ever ran, I never ran until my 20s, I never EVER thought I’d be here 5 years ago. I just want to give 2019 Anya a hug. Trust me, I am still going through the same emotional ups and downs in training. I used to take longer to finish a race but each mile ticked off is just as important. I have worked SO hard and loved every minute of this journey. I often get asked ‘why I run’. And I think it comes down to my persuit of fearlessness. In life you have to overcome so many hurdles, I am in a constant battle with my brain telling me that I can’t do things. Running has taught me to find my inner strength. Time and time again running proves I am more capable than ever I thought. So why would I limit myself in every day life, I am living a DREAM that I worked hard for. No more silly self limiting beliefs, no more fearing what other people think, all I ask is for one person can look at this and think ‘If she can do it, why can’t I’. 🥹🤩✨

Been so busy I forgot to really say I am actually running a marathon in 4 weeks 👀🇺🇸 Let’s rewind last week’s @runna training! I genuinely think Tuesdays are my hardest day?? Is a double sesh harder than a 35km long run? The jury is out 😵‍💫 taken in Battersea Park by @anyaculling

🤑How much does it really cost to race an ironman triathlon? Too much!!! I am so lucky I am even in the position to have been able to do one and unbelievably grateful I am able to work with brilliant brands that can help out too, that hasn’t gone over my head. You also do not need all these things!! I don’t want this to be distasteful talking about money but I was so curious so I assumed a lot of others are too!! It was the best day ever and an experience I will remember forever, and I really hope efforts continue to make this sport more accessible ♥️ taken in Battersea Park by @anyaculling
