I started running in November 2024. I had never attempted to run before. Just under a year and half since I put on running trainers for the first time I completed The London Marathon for Prostate Cancer Research. A week later, in May 2026, my name and time is in the Sunday paper. #LondonMarathon2026

Told it was unlikely I would get a place due to the competitive nature of marathon majors. (I was told something similar about PhD funding, something else I would go on to achieve.) In life, I have found, it is always worth backing yourself.
