On April 24th 2016 I will join Team HAA and run in the Virgin Money London Marathon.
Earlier this year I set myself a seemingly impossible challenge of running a marathon before I reached the age of 40. My training was appalling and I suffered a nasty injury which hampered my efforts greatly. I finished the Adelaide Marathon in dead last place in a time of 6:10:22.
To this end, I realised that actually, it is incredibly difficult to maintain a safe and regular training regime whilst being so unfit and overweight and so I have embarked on a journey to rectify both issues. I'm currently 9kg lighter and concentrating on speed training before I commence my marathon training programme.
I aim to finish the London Marathon in less than 5 hours. I will also run with a healthy BMI and weight range.
