London Marathon 2025

I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!

Hi everyone!

For everyone who knows me know how much I love running and I’ve always wanted to run a marathon, but to run a marathon with meaning. 

Everyone has a charity close to their hearts, and this one is close to ours, which is why I am running this marathon in memory of Luca’s friend Felix 💙 



I'm running the London Marathon 2025 for Asthma + Lung UK, the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.

Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!

London Marathon 🤍

Monday 28th Apr
Thankyou to each and everyone on of you who’s taken the time to donate to this charity in memory of Felix. Such an emotional day, times when I thought I couldn’t do it but then I’d always remember who I’m running for. 4hr 11minutes. Here’s to the next one! 🤪

Last one done 💪🏼

Friday 25th Apr

14k done ready to eat my weight in Easter eggs!

Sunday 20th Apr

Running W*nker 🧦

Sunday 20th Apr
Last dress rehearsal before the big day next week. 14k in the bag

What a beautiful view this morning 🌅

Saturday 12th Apr

Last long one!

Saturday 12th Apr
Up at 5am for breakfast ready for the last long run before marathon day. Felt good, little nibble in the calf but nothing that a bit of RnB won’t sort out 🩷💜🧡

New trainers!👟

Thursday 10th Apr
Risky business getting new trainers less than 3 weeks before marathon but tested them out this morning & I think we will work well together 💜🧡🩷

Millie 🩷

Tuesday 8th Apr
Credit where credits due, although I claim I’ve been solo training for this marathon, I actually haven’t. And although she cannot join me on my long runs (because it’s like doing hurdles when stops right in front of me!) she has certainly got me through my short runs. Best running partner, best dog 🐶 🩷

☀️

Sunday 6th Apr
The new nonslip sunny’s worked a treat 😎

32km/20miles 🥰

Friday 4th Apr
Really chuffed with that one, work my arse off 🤪🤭

18 miles 💪🏼

Wednesday 26th Mar
Longest run to date. Beautifully hot, sweaty and hilly today. Legs felt good, could’ve gone further but work calls!

Another 16 miles done ✔️

Sunday 23rd Mar
Wanted 18 miles but ran out for water and it was so hot, left my card at home so just ran back… still better than no run at all. Legs felt good think because I wasn’t so rushed… 5 weeks to go!!!!

Another 16 miles in the bag

Friday 14th Mar
Felt absolutely fine until I tripped on a kerb and then hobbled for the last 3 miles BUT being stubborn helps, because I got it done & another PB apparently, sure Strava makes it up though 🤣

16miles 💪🏼

Friday 7th Mar
Beautiful sunny run 🏃🏻‍♀️

15 miles in the bag 💪🏼

Friday 28th Feb
Fuelled by James Arthur & sunshine

Morning run!

Sunday 23rd Feb
23k/14miles done this morning…only have to do that twice!) 😅🤓🤪

Evening run ✅

Wednesday 19th Feb
Night time running isn’t for me - too scary - but ready for another long on Sunday - weather looks grim BUT I’ll get it done 💪🏼
