I’m running London Landmarks Half Marathon in the fight for breath ! and to do the biggest run of my life so far 😬
Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with lung disease. I want to make a difference. I'm running London Landmarks 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 could go towards Health Care Advisors and Respiratory Specialists supporting someone with the information they need to live well.
Any support would be amazing in my fight for lung health!

8 Weeks to go !
Friday 20th Feb So after my small win at Parkrun the day before, despite my knee pain which had settled I thought its about time I start getting some regular 10k+’s in… so clever me thought I’d run to work.From home in town all the way down Newark Rd, might stop at Asda, nah i’m doing good I thought, lets keep going can always stop at Maccies opposite Pennells.. Get ti Maccies, bloody ell i’m doing alright , it’s the last stretch i’m gonna make it !!
It wasn’t to be… got down the A46 just by the flyover.. and then my knee gives me a WTH are you doing taking me this far ? 15k in 2 days ! Mam it’s time to walk.
Devastated :(
And i’m still aching a week later. Admittedly thats because I’ve not rested, 3 days in London this week made sure there was no time for that. So I now need to make a choice in the morning… give 5k a go, keep myself moving… or do I rest ?

Training Update
Friday 20th Feb Last week I got 3 PB’s in my Parkrun stats.It felt better compared to usual I thought I’d ran faster, technically I did.. but just not enough to make me feel good about myself. It was a small win, my knee did’nt even try to fight me, I got all the way round. Then the walk home came and there is was… the knee pain… just reminding me to not get cocky that I had recovered.

February Training
Saturday 7th Feb
1st 10k of the year.
Saturday 7th Feb
Taking a leap at fulfilling one of my Marathon ambitions.
Monday 14th Apr For years I’ve thought I’m just not good enough to undertake anything bigger than a 10k. While I have a few of those under my belt and not fantastic at them I haven't felt the need to really push myself to do better until now. Its always been a dream since childhood to do the London Marathon and I really hope someday thats possible , the LLHM is the obvious next step. Unlike a 10k , I can’t just stroll up to the starting phase line of the HM without any training. So I have the best part of a year to get my head in the game and a whole load of strength and distance training in. As an almost life long asthmatic I’m aware of the challenges it can present so it’s a natural choice to support such an important charity. I look forward to sharing the journey with you and welcome any encouragement and support along the way.Thank You 🙏🏻
