Tomorrow, we fight!

The past three weeks in the build-up to the Berlin Marathon haven’t been ideal.

Training was going really well, and then, out of nowhere, I started experiencing headaches and light-headedness, alongside lower-body issues. Thankfully, the headaches and light-headedness have gone, but the lower-body issues have persisted. Not strength related!

I’m hugely grateful for the expertise, support and friendship of my coach Matt Rees and physio Gary Faber. Both have worked lots to help get me to the start line.

Tomorrow is going to be a fight.

I need to get it done! I will get it done!

There has been plenty of decent training in the bank — running, strength and mobility. Now it’s time to trust that work and see what tomorrow brings. Body v mind!

Thank you to everyone who has sent messages of good luck and support. I genuinely appreciate every single one.

Let’s go! 🏃🏽‍♂️🔥

Growth isn't always linear.

Last year was a tough one for me, but it set the stage for a massive reset. This year, I made a promise to focus more on my health and my training, whilst making sure I never lose the fun in the process.

These numbers are all from this year: from 81.6 kg on Jan 1st down to 72.4 kg today. Stripping back 9.2 kg also sees me being the lightest I've been this decade.

Every strength session and weekend run is adding up. It's been hard work (no mounjaros here!), and I am still a long way off from where I want to get to.

The journey continues.

The Road to @berlinmarathon, featuring Bedford Autodrome running event by @runthroughuk

Week 3, Run 4 - The Long Run.

18 miles banked, steady pace.

I find long runs so much easier in the winter. Who else finds the same?

During the 18 mile run, I felt strong and finished with a sprint finish! Still lots of work to do ahead of the big day.

It's amazing how much of a difference hydration makes. Prior to this long run, I've struggled from around mile 12 - primarily due to hydration and not yet having worked out a plan.

I've been getting out much earlier for them due to the heat but it's meant most shops are closed. I, personally, hate wearing hydration vests.

@jcwparkrun - the inaugural!

It was lovely seeing so many familiar faces, and seeing @damekellyholmes.

Thank you to all of the volunteers, and well done on the various achievements - including @geoffdickson19 running his 100th different parkrun.

Pleased to announce that I'll be one of the R.D.'s are the event.

Thank you, Thursday.

I’ve spent the past week trying to take it all in — and honestly, I’m still overwhelmed. The love, support, and encouragement I’ve received has meant more than I can properly put into words. My heart is full ❤️.

I didn’t want to rush this post. I needed a moment to sit with everything, because the emotions over the last seven days have been something special.

So today felt like the right time to simply say: thank you.

To my family, friends, club mates, the K.I.M family, and my colleagues — your support has carried me every step of the way. It truly means everything.

A special thank you to @keep.it.movin.k.i.m.tv for the incredible opportunity to run the London Marathon 2026. Sharing that experience, surrounded by so many familiar faces both on the course and out supporting, made it unforgettable.

Thank you to my coach and friend @thewelshrunner, and @revitalizeclinic
@elliottjohnreid for your expertise during the training and pre marathon.

The moment that will stay with me the most came is seeing my family, especially Mum and Dad. After everything over the past year and Mum not being able to be there in 2022, it hit me in a way I’ll never forget. That moment meant more than any finish time ever could.

I’m incredibly grateful.

I’ll share more about the day itself in the coming days — but for now, just… thank you.

502 miles ran. 91 hours 46 minutes of running. 123 hours of overall tracked exercise (several hours untracked too!). 96 days.

A massive thank you to @keep.it.movin.k.i.m.tv for this incredible opportunity 💙🙏.

With the marathon build officially in the books, I’m heading to the start line with one goal: to have fun and soak in every moment.

After the year my family and I have been through together, this isn't about the clock or chasing a PB - it's about appreciating. I am so grateful.

I promised to give this training everything I had, and I feel I’ve done exactly that. From my biggest mileage weeks to a personal record-breaking month of 194.5 miles, I’ve stayed more consistent than ever before. Only missing one mandatory run.

Many thanks to the expertise of my coach and friend @thewelshrunner, the community at @central_park_athletics, the support from you all, my friends, and my colleagues at Sonar (@tatomira23, I am still so surprised by your visit and support 🙂).

To my family— Tarlika Patel, Sheelesh Patel, @nikitasp_, @geoffdickson19, and @ali.gi1 thank you for pushing me out the door on the days when nerves almost got the best of me.

Thank you also to @alkapatel_amp_mortgages & @meekhilpatel_amp_mortgages for helping me out massively for tomorrow.

@londonmarathon, let’s enjoy this! 🇬🇧✨ by @transformational_runner

Reigate Priory parkrun, ahead of Lydd 20 miler tomorrow.

Enjoyed the course, definitely felt like it's well suited to cross country.

This week, as long as I can execute on tomorrow, is going to be my biggest ever training week in terms of duration and time. Nervous as can start feeling signs that body is getting tired and craving the taper!

@eventsatw Hillingdon 20 miler!

After a long and big week, I felt pretty strong on the flats and downhills - definitely got to get stronger on the hills!

Took a tumble at 16 miles after clipping foot on a broken and uneven pavement, but still finished well 🙂.

5 weeks till @londonmarathon 2026.

2 more big weeks left till the taper. Let's Keep it movin'!
