Cardiff Half Marathon 2025

Donate to Sarah and help them hit their goal of £200!

I’m running the Cardiff Half Marathon 2025 in the fight for breath!


In memory of my beautiful mum who had COPD and passed away in December 2022. Miss her every day. 💔


Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with lung disease. I want to make a difference. I'm running the Cardiff Half Marathon 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!

Cardiff Half Marathon ✅ 🏃🏼‍♀️🥇

Sunday 5th Oct
Absolutely blown away by your donations! Thank you so much. ❤️

Shirt is ready😍

Saturday 4th Oct

Tapering at last!

Sunday 21st Sep
On the taper now with this morning's 15km. This one actually felt easier (and shorter) but we still stuck to our killer first 5k hills to build stamina. Well, at least I hope that's what it's doing! I haven't been on my beloved bike for 5 weeks and Garmin says I'm unproductive - Garmin is a terrible judge! 😂 I am now ignoring him. One final push with two weeks to go.

18km training run done (x 2)

Sunday 21st Sep
Two 18km training runs completed in August and September. Plus the 10k in Cardiff early September.

My knees hurt and my toenails are black! 😂 I feel a bit hardcore now and I'm longing for 5km runs again! 😂 

Hitting the 16km mark! #eek

Sunday 17th Aug
Still looking fresh, ish and the latest run saw a huge 16km target reached, including a local Parkrun! It was a very early start to be at Parkrun at 9am at the 11km mark. 18km is the next target distance. 🙌🏼

Donations ❤️

Thursday 31st Jul
I'm blown away by all of your generous donations. You're all simply the best! ❤️

13km done ✅

Sunday 27th Jul
13km run completed this morning. Building nicely with only 10 weeks yo go.

Newport 10k done ✅

Tuesday 15th Apr
Skimmed 2 mins off my PB for this event and chuffed. Hard run and it took me a while to truly appreciate the result. Running is definitely easier with friends.

10k canal run

Sunday 30th Mar
Back on track. 10k completed. 2 weeks to Newport 10k and looking good so far.

Thank you for donations so far

Sunday 19th Jan
The support received so far has been wonderful and truly appreciated. I wanted to announce the event on the anniversary of mum's passing but very conscious there's a long time to the event itself. Thank you so much to those who have put their faith in me and donated already. It's certainly very motivating. ❤️

12km in the bag

Sunday 19th Jan
So on Sunday 12 January, I ran 12km in preparation for the Lliswerry 8 on the 19 January. My longest run to date. A great opportunity to work to a race during the winter months before more serious training commences.

However disaster struck as I came down with the lurgy and I wasn't able to run the Lliswerry 8. Feeling unwell and pretty disappointed, I'm going to enter again next year and hope for better luck. 

So need to recover and plan for the Newport 10k in April. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
