Chicago Marathon 2026 🇺🇸

My 2nd marathon & my 2nd World Major 🎖️

Humbled by this distance once again 😥

Gutted with the outcome after 23 weeks of training tbh. Got to 21km and the legs decided they’d done enough for the day 😂

Still pretty proud of how far I’ve come in a year. This week last year I ran my first ever 5km race… now somehow I’ve run two marathons. Character development, apparently 🫠

Chicago, you won this round. I’ll be back.

Road to Chicago 🇺🇸

Signed up for the @sydney_marathon a week after my first ever 5km… which made no sense.

So naturally, @chimarathon felt like the next logical step (last slide explains everything).

23 weeks to figure it out.
Two marathons seemed like a good idea at the time.

Thanks to @brandon_galea_ for getting me into that first 5km and pushing me since.
“It’s basically just 8 x 5km” 😂

What we all want to know:
How many times we circle Lake Burley Griffin before losing it?
@tildarice consumption? 📈

First Marathon in the books ✅

Not quite the day I had in mind 😅

Legs shattered.
Heart shattered.
Ego bruised.
So grateful for everyone that came to support me today 🥹

Can’t believe @alexandercharlesd flew down from Gold Coast for the day to watch 🤯

Lots to learn from and take into Chicago 👀

The countdown is getting a little too real 😥

1 day 9 hours to go ⏳

22 weeks of training, questionable decisions and an unhealthy amount of rice 🍚

All coming down to 42.2km.

Chicago… go easy on me 🥺🇺🇸

Week 22: Road to Chicago ✅

One week until marathon day 😥

Somehow survived the travelling and still managed to get the runs in this week.

Body is feeling good though, so maybe things are looking up 👀

Still no sign of Tilda in the US though 😭

Getting very real now. Slightly excited. Mostly terrified.

Update:
Lake laps: 69
Tilda packs: 59

Week 21: Road to Chicago ✅

Another week closer to the marathon 😥

Not exactly the week I had planned. Foot still being a bit of a drama queen, so running has been kept pretty minimal.

Did somehow manage a cheeky 5K PB though 😏 so I’ll take the small win.

Less than 2 weeks until the big day now and I’m officially starting to get scared 😂

Also, can’t really call next week a taper when you’ve barely been running anyway 😭

Chicago… please be kind.

Lake laps: 68

Week 20: Road to Chicago ✅

Another week of the injury arc 🥲

Tendon still being a bit of a pain, so swapped the runners for the bike this week 🚴‍♂️

Might have to keep this going until Chicago and hope the foot decides to behave when it actually matters.

Enjoyed getting out on the bike this week.

Tom on the other hand… not so much 😂

The Arboretum hill also humbled me today 😥

Running fitness: questionable
Cycling fitness: questionable
Hope for Chicago: still alive 🇺🇸

Week 19: Road to Chicago ✅

32km.

Time to swap the runners for the clip-ins for the next few weeks 🚴‍♂️

Picked up a tendon injury during Thursday morning’s half mara 🥲

Body was feeling pretty good at the start of the week… so naturally something had to go wrong eventually 😂

To the bike for now. Hopefully not for too long 👀

Update:
Lake laps: 62

Week 18: Road to Chicago ✅

8km.

Probably the most relaxed week of the block so far.

Rested until Thursday, went for a run, didn’t die.

Friday nearly did.

Saturday somehow ran a 1km PB which was definitely not on the agenda 😂

Sunday traded the runners for the bike and called it cross training.

Another easy week then into the final weeks of Chicago training 🇺🇸

We’re getting there.

Lake laps: 59

Week 17: Road to Chicago ✅

53km.

Sydney Marathon was something else 😥

Can’t lie, I was pretty gutted with the time. Can’t always post the wins.

Spent the whole day thinking about what could’ve gone differently, but after sleeping on it I’ve realised something…

I ran my first marathon 🙂‍↕️

42.2km. Done.

Maybe not the time I wanted, but definitely a day I’ll never forget.

Also can’t say I hated having a week where I didn’t have to run 5 times 😂

Now it’s time to recover before we do this all again in Chicago 🫠

The support out there was honestly unbelievable.

Lake laps: 58
