Race announcements are old news, stressies are coming back in 🤪🦴

Not the update I wanted to share but hopefully now with a diagnosis, I can start to get to the bottom of the causes and rehab/rebuild accordingly. When you are driven to push your limits, sometimes you risk taking things too far. This year I’ve ran PB’s I could have never dreamt of in the half, 10k and 5k so hopefully this is just a bump in the road onto something I know I’m capable of in the marathon📈

Been here before, will be back soon. As always appreciate the support 🙌🏻

Ben is cycling to the rescue 🛟 (aka please put up with my two wheeled fanatics until I can get back to my proper sport) Maybe now is the time to learn to swim. I’m rambling. Peace and love, rip mac 🤍

3 Essex boys, 100 miles and a free pizza 🍕

Running. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe sh*te.

Small setback, don’t lose sight of the goals 🎯

If your body, like mine, hasn’t been playing ball recently. I feel you. I call this a PW feeling, personal worst. But come Valencia that’ll make the PB even more sweet 📈

Real talk, no fancy edit or script 🤝

The most wholesome gift to receive. Genuinely blown away by the generosity! 🤯☕️

As you all know, I love my flat whites and now have three incredible custom, handmade cups from Bradley- a subscriber of my YouTube channel. He doesn’t want a shout out(but I couldn’t not), doesn’t have an IG but designed and made these beautiful cups as a thank you for the content I share. Genuinely speechless. What a community 🙌🏻

Not a bad first week on the marathon grind 📈

Highlights: 4 days with my favourite Swedes, a Luke Oliver wedding (aka the one day this week I didn’t wear running clothes), a 14:38 5k 👀 and a progressive long run with coach as the cherry on top 🍒

Sub 2:20 training in full swing, 119 days to go 🎯

Well that went better than expected 🤣

colchester fnr 5k always delivers and this year was the best yet. To have the swedes, Nils and Victor Urquhart Smångs | Runner in town to experience my hometown race was special.

6 weeks back into training and to run 14:42 tonight was genuinely a bit of a shock. Sometimes running doesn’t make sense but hey get some fast shoes on and get some FLYCARB down your neck and turns out you never fully lose it.

Get to see Hugo Fry fly round. Can’t believe I’ve let you beat me over 5k, that was supposed to be my distance! Great to see you bud 🤝

Events like this are exactly what running, to me, is all about. Thanks to the organisers for another Friday night to remember. Vlog coming to YouTube soon 🔜

Also peak the new BIR sample singlet 👀 Meg’s been working her magic behind the scenes. Let us know your thoughts!
