Yesterday, I became a marathoner. 🏁
42.2km later and I’m still trying to process it all.

But more than the race itself, I keep thinking about the people who carried me through it.

To my girlfriend, @katelynswartbooi ❤️
Thank you for being the calm in all the chaos. From making sure everything was sorted the day before, to waking up early race morning so I wouldn’t forget a single thing, to tracking me every step of the way and having exactly what I needed when I needed it most.
You backed me through every high, every doubt, every early alarm and tired training run. You’re my biggest supporter and honestly the person I wanted to make proud the most yesterday. I couldn’t have done this without you.

To every friend, family member and supporter who came out or sent a message, thank you.
The cheers on the route give you a kind of energy that gels and training plans can’t. When the legs are gone and your mind starts bargaining with you at 35km, hearing your people shout your name feels like rocket fuel. 🚀

And to everyone who lined up yesterday, whether you ran your first marathon, your fastest marathon, or simply finished one… respect.
42.2km is no joke. A lot of us achieved something yesterday that our younger selves probably never imagined possible.

Lastly, to the @slowandsteadycpt crew, thank you.
For the dark early morning long runs, the speed sessions in the rain, the encouragement, the discipline, the laughs and the shared suffering along the way. Every single session played a part in getting me to that finish line.

A marathon changes you a little.
Yesterday, it changed me forever. 🖤 by @connor_va

Marathon training can be gourmet as well @nutrigopower 🥤🙂‍↕️

The four of us put Nutri-Go Gourmet Whey to the test and did a proper taste test of 4 flavours, for research purposes obviously 🤝🏽🤝🏽🤝🏽

When you’re deep in marathon prep, whey isn’t just a “gym thing.” It’s recovery. It’s muscle repair. It’s making sure those long runs don’t break you down. Getting quality protein in after sessions helps with rebuilding muscle fibres, supporting strength, and keeping the body strong enough to handle the mileage week after week.

Now let’s talk flavours.
Elite taste, and definitely something for everybody 😮‍💨Choc Honeycomb Crumble made @daniel_demas_ lose his English & had the highest average so I guess that’s the group go to 🍫 Try some & let us know what you think 🏃🏽🏃🏽🏃🏽

Marathon block fuelled properly thanks to @nutrigopower , and it’s a bonus that our taste buds are winning too 🥇
