This is more than running for me.I didn’t grow up chasing performance, I found movement through purpose. Running became a way to look after my mind, show up for others, and start conversations we don’t have enough of.I run to break stigma, to support causes close to my heart, and to remind people that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Walk breaks included. Ego excluded.Sound mind. Sound body.This is my why. @asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunner2026#asicsfrontrunner #soundmindsoundbody by @brayanruns

Lots of new faces around here, so hi 👋I’m Brayan, London-born with 🇪🇨 Ecuadorian roots.I didn’t grow up a runner. Movement found me when I needed it, sometimes structured, sometimes messy, walk breaks included. Somewhere along the way, I realised it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.These days I run for my head, for purpose, and for connection. Some runs are for charity, some are just to clear my mind. Mental health > PBs. Always.If you’re here for honest running, real life, and doing things your own way, welcome 🤍And if you’ve been here from the start, thank you.#soundmindsoundbody #asicsfrontrunner by @brayanruns

Not the update I wanted to share, but the right one.After holding onto a bit of hope these past few weeks, I won’t be lining up at London this year.Injuries are part of it… just didn’t expect it to be my turn right now. Taking it as a reminder to slow down, recover properly, and come back the right way. Eyes on Berlin… if the body allows 🤞There’s always another start line and another @runna plan by @brayanruns

One year ago it all started with a simple phone call, a slightly wild goal, and a friend who flew across borders just to run a marathon together.Photo 1: Big smiles at the expo. At this point we still thought we knew what we were getting ourselves into.Photo 2: Good vibes at the start line, feeling confident… maybe a little too confident.Photo 3: Holding our medals after an incredible achievement (and probably saying “never again”… which obviously didn’t last long).A year later, the perspective is clearer: every step, every struggle, every kilometre was part of the story. 🏃‍♂️Good luck to everyone running the @maratobarcelona tomorrow, enjoy every moment out there 🔥 by @brayanruns

50 Days Before London Marathon 😭For the past few months I’ve been following the @runna marathon plan and it’s helped me stay more consistent with my training than ever before.This definitely wasn’t part of the plan… but the journey isn’t always linear.Right now the focus is recovery, patience, and doing everything I can to still make that start line. 🏃‍♂️But be honest… would you still run the marathon?#londonmarathon #marathontraining #running #roadtolondon #injuryrecovery by @brayanruns

Week 10: Plot twist… I rested. 😅After what feels like forever running non-stop, this week I didn’t push harder. I pressed reset.Used @runna “not feeling great” option and actually listened for once. A few days off.Still moved, just differently:🏃‍♂️ Easy 5K⚡ 8K intervals (felt GOOD being back after the half)🏋️‍♂️ 2 strength sessions to help the body recover properlyAnd yes… I enjoyed the good stuff too. Fatty food. Great company. Proper balance. 😌69 days to London 🇬🇧Still building, just a bit smarter this week.#asicsfrontrunneruk #running #runner by @brayanruns

Week 9: unexpected but unforgettable 🥹Wasn’t training for the Barcelona Half specifically… just accidentally ready for it.Mainly trained with the @runningclub_bcn crew.The plan? Start slow. Respect the bigger goal: London in April.But somewhere around KM5, something clicked.I picked it up. Held a 5:25/km pace all the way to the finish.And it felt unreal.Barcelona was magic. Running it as part of my “long run” plan made it even sweeter. This wasn’t just a race it was proof. Proof that consistency compounds. That quiet discipline shows up when it matters thanks to @runna Super proud of this small (not so small) win.London, we keep building. 🏁🔥#running #asics by @brayanruns

I stopped for a wee at 5K and still ran sub-2. Let’s start there 🤩Didn’t go out trying to run a time… but somehow everything aligned.Sub-2 half marathon 😭🔥Even with a quick wee at 5K (aerodynamic break??)Apparently that’s what happens when you relax???This one feels special, part of the bigger marathon build for this year.Met a legend after @pitufollowCelebrated with my biggest supporter 🤍And trusted @runna to keep the pacing honest as always.If this is “just training”… this year might get interesting 😏 by @brayanruns
