London Marathon 2025

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

Hey everyone I’m running the London Marathon 2025! As you know Asthma affects a lot of my family so I’m delighted to run the London Marathon for such a great cause close to my heart. This year my papa was diagnosed with lung cancer so to run it for him too means the world. This will be my last marathon one month after my 30th there after I’ll be focusing half marathons so I’m ready for the challenge to complete my third and final London marathon. Thanks for all your donations it really means the world to me and will get me round on the day! 

Naomi 

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. 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 Completed! New PB!

Wednesday 30th Apr
Thanks everyone for your messages/ words of encouragement it really helped me get round the 26.2 miles in 22 deg heat! And if you know me, blondie doesn’t like running in the heat but I was sensible drank at most water stations and had my own so I could get round and enjoy it! Had a fab run - bonus was a Personal Best time 3 hours 15 minutes and felt good at the end! Saw my family in the grand stand which really made it special! Without your donations this wouldn’t have been possible so thanks to everyone! 💪🏼🙏🏼🥰🏃🏼‍♂️ It wasn’t easy but was worth it! Naomi #TeamBreathe

March Mileage Build Phase

Monday 7th Apr
Highest EVER monthly mileage (in my 18 years of running) in March while turning 30 and celebrating every weekend 😂🥳 This was the hardest month as usually having a small social life means more time for runs/ fitness so I found it hard to fit everything in- but I got out my bed early and always done it. Bonus carb loading wasn’t an issue with all the extra lunches and cakes!🍰 Your donations really helped me this month as the longer runs were getting tedious and legs every time were getting more tired, so thank you everyone! 🙏🏼 Also thanks to Jane and Melanie for helping this month (again) pushing me round some tough miles! Bonus the weather was slightly better which always makes a difference. I’m so grateful to be running in London for a cause close to my heart and very thankful for the people who have helped me on this journey. After having a break from marathons (3 year gap) and coming back this is the hardest I’ve worked to get my endurance and speed aligned so really hoping it pays off on the day (20 days) Thanks for reading/ donating and for all the words of encouragement it really means a lot!🙏🏼💪🏼🏃🏼‍♂️ Naomi

February Training

Saturday 1st Mar
Another month of training done 20 out of 28 days running, highest monthly mileage since 2016 so I really am pushing it! 162.9 for the month. A lot of these big runs have felt easier so endurance is improving so looking forward to one more tough month before the taper! 💪🏼🏃🏼‍♂️ Can’t believe I still get nervous before the longer runs!!🙈 Feeling very thankful to everyone who has helped me this month (Melanie/ Jane/ Matt and Dad) on the bike pushing me round the big runs 🙏🏼🚴🏻‍♀️

Training in the cold weather!

Sunday 19th Jan
These last few weeks have been soooo cold but I’ve still made myself go out and managed minimum 30 miles per week. Hopefully it gets a bit milder. Last week I completed a 17.5 mile run (thanks to Melanie on the bike pushing me on) and I completed 14 miles this weekend myself. Gradually building endurance while trying to keep some speed. Aiming for a track session this week and 5 runs! Hit my target of £2000 so ready to train even harder! 🙏🏼🏃🏼‍♂️💪🏼 #14weeks to go

Fitness classes

Tuesday 3rd Dec
The baking sales at classes has went down very well and everyone has been sooo kind with their donations. Monday evening we raised £110, Friday Powerhoop £63 and Tuesday LBT £153! 
I can’t believe how generous you have all been, every donation really helps and will get me round the marathon in April! 🏃🏼‍♂️
I couldn’t have done it without Alison and Jane helping me bake they are stars behind the scenes 🙏🏼🍰 Naomi 💕
