Another awesome day out in London! 2:14:48 for 2nd in the mass race, a minute off the PB and 5 minutes quicker than London last year ⚡️
The crowds were even louder than I remember them and it felt great to be mixing it with the elite lads for the first time. Massive thanks to @jethro_mcg for getting me into the shape to make yesterday possible, and to my new @hoka_eu family for providing me and the #pbprotocol team with such amazing support! 🪽

Little massage appointment with Birmingham’s resident 50k World Silver Medalist. Can’t run 5:20/mile for 3 hours without an elbow in your ass every now and then🤷♀️
What should take priority??
It’s worth it.
Weeks of 105-mile training.
Long runs beyond limits.
Sauna sessions for the heat.
No 50K race experience.
Still — second at the World Championships.
Ran to plan. Finished strong.
WORLD individual SILVER & team GOLD ?! wow !!
proud of our journey to here - the hours of strategic mileage, diligence, accountability, programme crafting and problem solving
to not just be ready but to be competitive and go well under the previous British & European Records for the distance shows the class, the execution and the incredible levels of fitness Charlie has made happen
so deserving, very special & incredibly inspiring
rightfully one to properly celebrate but also… it’s 6 weeks to London…

2nd in the world 🌍
Absolutely dreamy 50k debut here in Delhi. The GB boys absolutely smashed it with a 1-6 sweep 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
As requested by @rossbraden1 and @philsesemann my finishing time was 2:47:14 which I believe is the 2nd fastest by a European of all time 🇪🇺
GOOD LUCK…

Good luck to Naomi and Charlie who are running today in the world 50km championships, Delhi India. The race kicks off at 10:30pm tonight (4am local time).

It was great of them to pop down to the track and show off their kit to the junior session - an inspiration to the next generation.
.
Good luck Charlie and Naomi 💪💪
