Well that was brutal 😂

14+ hours of running 6.7km on the hour, every hour.

No finish line, no set distance, just keep moving up until you can’t. Safe to say the Backyard format isn’t for me.

Amazing support from the crew @deedeeward1 @maxinew121212 keeping the spirits high ❤️

2 weeks out from a 100km ultramarathon. Sub 12 is the goal. 🎯

On Saturday night we took on the London Reverse Marathon, starting at midnight, which was a completely new experience.

Felt good to get 42.2km back in the legs.

Shoutout to the random guy lurking in the bushes and chasing me down the road at 4am… definitely gave me a bit of extra pace towards the end. taken in London, United Kingdom by @niallsarkar

Day 20 of running 21 marathons in 21 days ✅

What a wild painful three weeks it’s been. Managing to push through the past 6 days with shin splints has taken its toll, but we’re on the home straight now.

Final marathon tomorrow with the crew. Cant wait to wrap this challenge up.

Day 8–14 of running 22 marathons in 21 days ✅

What started as a strong week quickly turned into the toughest one so far. From Day 9 my Achilles flared up badly and swelled, to the point where even putting weight on it was a struggle, let alone running properly. At this point I was certain that the whole challenge would likely be over.

A couple of very slow, painful days where it’s just been about finding a way to keep moving seemed to have helped reduce the load on the ankle and luckily I’ve woken up today with slightly less pain.

We’re now into the 3rd and final week! The finish line is finally in sight.

Total distance: 590.8km/929km.

Day 10 of running 22 marathons in 21 days ✅

105.5 laps of the track on the cards today. Essentially halfway through the challenge which is a huge personal milestone!

Fatigue is hitting hard right now. Going to be tough ride to get through to the finish.

Day 2-7 of running 22 marathons in 21 days ✅

This week was a lot harder than I expected. From having extremely painful calf issues from Day 2, struggling to walk, it felt like the challenge was over before it had even started.

Doubt crept it, but just had to keep it simple. One day, one marathon at a time.

Day 7 felt like everything clicked. My body feels like it’s finally able to adapt to the distances & seems to be recovering well in between each day.

Shout out to @mrakra_s for a couple of big shifts. @guymacuk @gomez_nu for joining for a few kms, & @deedeeward1 for the support behind the scenes.

Total distance covered 295.4km/929km.

Week two commences!
