London Marathon Debut !!
Three weeks before race day… injured.
Could’ve pulled out. Didn’t.
Strapped the knee. Went to war.
Running on a blown popliteus wasn’t smart at all
and yeah, it caught up with me.
Knee went mid-race. Cramps finished the job.
From then?
Run. Walk. Run. Walk. Survive.
Not pretty, but I crossed that line 🤲🏾
Love to @newbalance for keeping me moving when my body said stop. Those massages were needed !
Gutted? Of course.
Regret? Not even close.
The atmosphere was different.
Family & friends carrying me through every mile 🫵🏾
@826active I can’t thank you enough for this opportunity, the support won’t go unnoticed, you guys truly showed up for us, and I hope to return the favour.
“We run better than the government!!”
7 months ago I said:
“I’d never run a marathon.”
Now look at me ?
I’m a marathoner.

HYROX Men Doubles Debut — What a day 🔥
Bro @jardonruns smashed it, proud of you 👏🏾
Every station we pushed, every run we grafted, and somehow we just kept finding another gear. That’s what it’s about, no excuses, just full send the whole way 👊🏾
We showed up … but best believe we’re running it back 😤
Sub 60’ next 👀

This one really hurt.
My times were better through the stations… until I reached the lunges.
Staff told me, “You shouldn’t kill yourself.”
I looked at them, laughed, and said, “I’m crossing that line.”
They said, “You’re crazy.”
I said, “Yeah this is crazy, but fun.”
Worked so hard for this race, only for my leg to give up on me, but I did not give up on myself. No PB this time (hammy said, “not today”). I was slower because of the injury, but I’m still taking a few positives from this race.
Sometimes it doesn’t go how we plan, but I still showed up.
Time to rest, recover, and reset.
More to come 🤲🏾

You are not Hyrox ready #ackhiii
Came back sooner than expected, 6 mins PB at the biggest Hyrox event in history, the atmosphere? Unreal. Immaculate support!
Wall balls still have beef with me 🤨
Progress is progress, on to the next 🤲🏾

First HYROX Solo 🏁
What an unreal experience, every min pushed my limits.
Finally decided to go for it. Definitely not the result I was expecting — few things went wrong out there. After the sled pull, I started questioning myself… What am I doing here? Why?
The stitch mid-race was brutal, the cramp during lunges nearly ended it for me (and that penalty didn’t help 😅). Big shoutout to the judge who let me finish those lunges on one leg — legend 🙏🏾
The run after that felt like I was about to meet the man above and wall balls? Forgive me… I was not familiar with your game. I know better now.
I thought I was ready, but I clearly wasn’t where I needed to be, but the feeling after crossing the finish line is unmatch. Still, one thing I know for sure — I’ll be back, and I’ll be better. 💪🏾
Big shoutout to the @826active family for all the support — couldn’t have done it without you 👊🏾
Now it’s time to get back to the lab and work on the next challenge 🔥
Grateful 🤲🏾

It all started with the idea of running a marathon. I thought that was the ultimate challenge, the goal to chase, but after a few races, I realized something important: a marathon isn’t for me (I know my limits) and that’s ok.
This summer has been filled with race after race. Running has taught me that it’s not always about going the farthest, but about showing up, finding joy in the journey, and pushing myself in ways I never imagined.
I’ve learned my limits, but I’ve also discovered new strengths and now, it’s time to prepare for the next challenge 🤲🏾
