Looking back it was my best overall performance in a marathon so far, even with missing out on a PB 🙌

This photo was around Mile 20, a few miles after coming off the rolling hills - along the coastal section, and I needed to complete the last 6 miles in under 1 hour.

I was on for 3:20 time at this point, depending on which pace I could keep at - which would’ve been a 12 min PB.

Sadly, it slipped away as the heat caught up to me, and I really did struggle, dropping pace significantly.

The growth and experience I’ve gained this weekend will stick with me forever.

The question is, which one next year? 🤩 taken in Lisbon, Portugal by @joeworthyfit

Lisbon Marathon 🥇🇵🇹

Where do I start.

I’m proud I gave it my all in a different country, different terrain, different type of heat. My 1st international marathon is complete ✅

25k was rolling hills through Carcavelos, some very steep. I surprisingly completed Avg 4:30 pace.

I was feeling confident at this point and thought, I just need to stay at 4:30 now and I’ll smash my PB…

17k was along the coast and back into Lisbon. With the blazing heat and no wind, I started to feel dehydrated to say the least.

I used my gels, water, tablets etc. but they only helped for a few KM then it was back to the grind until the next water station.

I started to slightly slow down per mile, and at mile 21, I hit a serious brick wall. Like serious.

The last 6 miles were some of the most painful for my legs that I had to go through, I genuinely just couldn’t move them.

I grafted until the end, and I can hold my head up high and say I completed it.

I’d like to thank a couple of people:

1. @urbanreformfit - I’ve been at UR for 1 month now, and it’s been class. I wouldn’t have been able to hold that 4:30 pace without the training. Can’t wait to see what I can achieve next year. Thank you everyone.

2. @manchesterrunclub - I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone there that isn’t a high achiever, it’s incredible. The community and support is absolutely exceptional and I’d like to say thank you so much, for everything.

3. Family - Just for genuinely putting up with my mad dreams. Not like they have a choice, but thank you for always being there.

I’m in Lisbon for a few more days, so I’m going to chill, reflect, and eat. so. much.

Lisbon Marathon - BIB collection🔥

My 1st International marathon is only a few days away!

The sun is scorching, there’s no shade to hide in, and inclines.

My main focus is hydration as a couple of my marathons & ultras have been in this type of weather so far - I know on race day it’ll take it out of me. I need to come prepared.

I’ll aim for 3:32 PB, which is 5 min KM pace.

It’s achievable.

Dead excited!

Friday Shakeout Run, Saturday Race day.

Let’s goooo! 🙌🔥 taken in Lisbon, Portugal by @joeworthyfit

MRC Rivington Pike 10k Trail Run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We spent the morning sending it to the top of Rivington Pike and back, wearing the @salomonrunning x @runningbearshop Aero Glide 4 GRVL’s or the Ultra Glide 4’s 💨

We arrived at Cynefin @northstonehomes - where we dropped our gear off ready for the run, and were met by @heckfooduk who after the run, cooked up their incredible Trail series menu - I had the Big Mac Dog🤤🌭

To top the morning off, we had a well deserved @vitaminwell_uk & @athleticbrewingeu to rehydrate ourselves after the run😄

The route had a bit of everything, the weather was cool, @justhowi captured the videos 📸 the pace groups smashed it, the food was incredible, perfect morning🔥

Genuinely can’t wait for the next one! 🙌 taken in Rivington Pike by @joeworthyfit
