Edinburgh Marathon 2026

Chip Time : 3:07:40

Sub-3 pace through 30K then the marathon hit back hard. Tough day with the conditions, but no regrets giving it a shot.

10 minute PB and a lot learned for the next one.

Middlesbrough Half Marathon 🥇🏁

Sub 1:25!!! Official time 1:24:50. Honestly wasn’t sure I had that in the tank, so I’m absolutely chuffed with this one. Great day at the office in Middlesbrough.

Really enjoyed the course. Much flatter than the Great North Run which was a big bonus. Everything felt spot on, apart from the distance markers seeming about 300m ahead all race 🤣 They only caught up in the last mile and my watch finished 400m over. Cue an all out sprint with the finish line in sight to make sure it stayed under 1:25.

Nothing new on race day… 🤣 First run in the Adios Pro 4s and they were perfect. Also tested the @puresport energy gels ahead of the marathon and they were great.

Now full focus on Edinburgh. That sub 3 might not be out of reach after all… 👀

Over 120 days of consistency. Down from 168lbs to a final weight of 143. Definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

But I finally stuck to my own promise! Best shape of my life by 25. Happy but not satisfied 🤣 plenty more work to do!

Coming for the @myprotein and @gymshark sponsor 🙏🏻

Whether you’re running a 20 minute 5K or a 40 minute 5K, you’re still out there putting one foot in front of the other.

Your pace doesn’t define your progress. Keep going.

I used to chase a number on the scales.

Now I chase performance goals.

A faster 5K. A sub-3 marathon. Becoming an Ironman.

I’m much more interested in what my body can do than how little it can weigh.

Getting lean is one thing. Feeling strong, healthy and happy is another.

And for me, that’s the goal now. 🧠

17:53. ✅ New 5K PB.

Really happy to finally get under 18 minutes at Quayside 5K! The 5K has to be one of the toughest race distances. From the start it feels like you’re hanging on, and you’ve still got another 4K to go. I managed to keep it together and still had enough left for a kick at the end.

The best part of the evening though… seeing my dad complete his first race. So proud of him for absolutely smashing it. Hopefully the first of many! ❤️

A huge confidence boost heading into my Yorkshire Marathon block. Next target… sub 3. 🫡

Newcastle 10K 🥇

What a way to start the year. Perfect conditions on the Quayside and an unreal race from start to finish. Over a minute PB and comfortably smashed the original sub-39 goal.

Official time: 37:52

Really happy with how this one went and excited to build from here 💪

Very excited to be part of the team 🏃🏻‍♂️

Yorkshire Marathon 2025

Official time: 3:18:28

Hard to be disappointed with a 10-minute PB, but it’s frustrating when I was on for the sub-3:10 goal until around 35K. Completely blew up with cramp in my quads and calves, but managed to get over the line.

Enjoyed the course! The last gradual incline towards the finish was brutal though.

Still proud of that one, and there’s plenty to take away from it.

Spring marathon 2026?

Great North Run 2025 🥇

Mentally the toughest race I’ve ever done. Couldn’t find any rhythm for the first 6/7K but kept grinding and ended up enjoying the second half.

Official time: 1:28:27

New PB and finally cracked sub-90 ✅

Chuffed with that after such a rough start and feeling confident heading into the Yorkshire Marathon!
