Still chasing PR’s this year with @jack_polerecky torturing me and pushing crazy fitness gains on me. Been who knows how long since I’ve raced a 5k so I have to feel good about 18:36 while finishing 3rd overall. Still have work to be done with two more races on deck. Fun race and great vibes for this one with a dope photographer on the course. @springfieldprparade @j.bstudios #palante5k

It had been 18 months since @adelesetl last ran a marathon. We spent a lot of time training and racing other distances, anywhere from 3km cross country events to half marathons.

But the marathon bug always comes back to us and at 51, Adele had a mission to win the Longford Marathon - a plan we set into place in February earlier this year.

We trained over hills and through the rain. We trained through the wind and the hot summer days. We prepared as well as we could to be as strong as possible... and I couldn't have asked for a better segment.

Adele finished the race in an astonishing 2:56:15! A time nearly equal to what she ran 18 months prior (2:56:09). She navigated the rolling hills and demonstrated the perfect combination of patience and risk management.

Here's what makes this story even better. Adele debuted at this marathon in 2002. Her time was 4:01:30 back then!

Well done Adele!!

Over the next 2 months I’ll be in the mountains of Flagstaff, Arizona. Mentally preparing for many lung searing, oxygen deprived sessions as I join coach @jack_polerecky and his crew to train up for 4 year end goal races 🇺🇸🇯🇵🇯🇵🇸🇬 - my first competitions as a masters athlete!

What’s inspiring about Flagstaff is that no matter how hard you think you’re working/suffering, someone else is always there doing something way harder (see: @ryanhall3 who’s ’retired’ from competitions but going on 8 hour trail runs in the mountains).

And no matter how fit you are, there’s always a @juliapaternain_ to drop you like a hot potato on a 60min easy run. Or you could walk into @runflagstaff to buy some gels and the guy handing them to you could be 2:11 marathoner (pre-supershoes), @ownyourrun

I’m about 10 years late to YouTube but will be vlogging the journey regularly on my channel (link in bio).

Steeling myself for the pain that comes with 20% less oxygen, but excited for what’s ahead.

We’re headed back to the @nycmarathon!

Julia Paternain looks to make a wave at this year’s race. This will be her 4th marathon but her first effort at the NYC event. Meanwhile, Kamohelo Mofolo will be celebrating his 21st birthday with a jaunt around the city in what will be his second marathon!

We have Coach @dmont330 running his 24th straight NYC marathon - and a host of athletes aiming to find their best on Nov 1st.

Keep your eyes pealed for the McKirdy Shakeout announcements for this race and for the rest of 2026! Will we see you in New York?

Going to be collecting a few miles in the next few months (both airline and physical) with two exciting start lines coming soon! 🤸🏻‍♀️🌟

First up, I’ll be racing the Half Marathon at the World Road Championships in Copenhagen (Sept. 20) 🇩🇰

Then, I’ll be racing the New York Marathon (Nov. 1) 🗽

Getting to work up here in Flagstaff to be able to compete the best that I can

-

Voy a juntar unos cuantos kilómetros en los próximos meses (áreas y terrestres) con 2 eventos súper emocionantes! 🤸🏻‍♀️🌟

Primero, correré la media maratón en el Campeonato Mundial de Carreras en Ruta en Copenhague (20 de Septiembre) 🇩🇰

Luego, correré la maratón de Nueva York (1 de Noviembre) 🗽

Así que estoy entrenando duro aquí en Flagstaff para poder competir en mi mejor forma

Survived the heatwave (30 degrees)! 🌡️ 14min 36.22sec - Singapore 5,000m National Record. 🇸🇬 (8 seconds improvement on the old record of 14:44.21 by Soh Rui Yong in 2021)

I’m 4 weeks away from turning 35 years old, so it’s nice to get one more national record in before I become a masters runner! 👴🏼

This buildup was very simple. No altitude camps. No double threshold or double sessions. No lactate testing or other fancy shit.

Just consistently daily runs,
a fast friend willing to run through walls for me today (@andyfyfe 🙏),
a happy, healthy group of friends to session with 3 times a week (Battersea Bandits),
a cool, adaptable mentor who keeps things simple (@jack_polerecky 🧊)
a lovely race put on by @tracksmithrunning @amritpalghatora

and of course my wife for keeping me company as I chase the best we can be.

Onward to @scoremarathon !🏃🏻‍♂️💨🇲🇾
