First time at the track in a long time. Needed this for a little confidence boost to see some faster times which is a bit harder to do on the usual suburban roads and trials.

Finished it off with a 400m rep and got an all time PB. Pretty stoked with that, plenty more track to come.

FOMO got the better of me. Rolling the dice for my 7th Sydney Marathon in a row. I do have a different marathon in mind for 2027 so we'll see how it all shakes out.

3:17:12 a PB! Here in Sydney! I was not expecting this at all and that's pure honesty. Coming off UTA has been a drain mentally and physically and I just didn't think I had the speed in the legs but here we are. Just a dream day and the best I've ever felt towards the end of a marathon, managed to pickup the pace in the last 5KM.

First time ever seeing my family out on a marathon course and that was such a special emotional moment and a surprise. Special thanks to my amazing wife for making that happen. I genuinely think that helped push me along especially towards the pain cave section of the marathon. That and I got to hi-five a dog so that was special.

More to come but right now I'm going to curl up on the couch and attempt to parent. If you're reading this then I thank you for being on this journey with me. Today is a special day on the back of many tough days training, I couldn't do it without the support.

2026 will be my 6th straight time doing Sydney marathon so I let's take a walk down memory lane looking at each year.

2019 - My first ever marathon, the one for charity. Raised over $3000 for FightMND in memory of my mum. I swore I'd never ever run another one again after hitting the pain cave so hard at 30km but it was an itch that just needed scratching.

Back then this was the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival and I think only around 3000 people did the marathon compared to 35,000 in 2026.

2022 - After a couple of cancellations I was ready to tackle the marathon again. This time with a coach, this one was for me. Crushed my PB, I thought marathons aren't so hard after all and that I'd just keep getting faster at them..

2023 - This one reminded me why marathons are so hard. Humbled by the heat and poor execution, I went out too hard and got absolutely cooked in the 30 degree heat. The first half was a half marathon PB which was a terrible idea.

2024 - Coming off a PB at the Gold Coast just a couple of months earlier I almost broke that time again. Everything just clicked on the day and I felt great, the most enjoyable and comfortable I've ever felt during a marathon, we dream of days like this.

2025 - The one I shouldn't have run! I had a niggle that I thought I could push through, turned out the niggle was a bone stress injury that ended up getting way worse after the marathon. It was the first time Sydney was a major though so it was an awesome experience, I learnt a lot of lessons around fuelling and how to look after myself so maybe it was the injury I needed to have.

What will the story be for this year?

Tough day on the tools today. Had to call my long run short, just felt sore physically and didn't have the mental energy to push on through. It's been a bit of a tough slog after coming off the high of UTA into another marathon training block. Looking forwards to some rest in a couple of week.

Time got away from me a bit today so my run was later in the afternoon. There I was in the middle of my 2km effort and my ears were treated to the alarm at full volume. Good times.
