London ’24 The Epilogue
Any time you finish a marathon is a cause for celebration and of course London is epic and the 2024 edition did not disappoint.
I am extremely privileged to have done 3 London marathons in a row and 10 marathons in a little over 2.5 years. I ran my first marathon at the age of 48, with a weeks’ notice in the middle of a half marathon block and broke 4 hours not having run longer than 15 miles, 3 years before.
I then decided I wanted to pursue the six world marathon majors, securing 5 stars in 13 months and each time trying to qualify for Boston but have been falling short.
This London block I was in the best shape coming into a race, balancing training & recovery well and was the most chilled coming into a race but yet again the wheels fell off. The issue that I had experienced in the four marathons that I did last year, losing power from my legs, poor speed endurance from 14-15 miles on reared Its head again two weeks ago.
So what went wrong? Swipe left on the photos to read my view.
