The preparation :)
I don’t think my nerves have settled since this and even watching it back causes my HR to spike.
I basically always loved the idea of proposing to Alex in an empty house when we first move in but it just didn’t quite align. So I decided to recreate it.
I had a few ideas of how to propose but to be honest I just know how much Alex and I love home and what it means to us - so it felt like the right place to do it.
So much more to come but this all the day of pre engagement :)
All our love.
A slightly different video this time,
So those of you that know me / have followed me for a while might have figured out that I’m in a relationship, but in general I’ve been quite private about it. I’m not actually sure why, but here goes.
This is Alex - we’ve been together almost 8 years, 4 years of long distance at university and we’ve lived together for the past 3 years in London.
Our relationship is not without its faults, it’s definitely not plain sailing. We argue, we make up, we bicker, we laugh, we can be hot and cold all within the space of 5 minutes. I’ve had to learn not to be selfish all the time, that the world doesn’t just revolve around me. Sometimes I get it wrong and sometimes I get it right, it really depends whether I’ve eaten or not.
Relationships are about growing together but you also need to focus on yourself sometimes so navigating this can be difficult at times.
I’ve obviously had a lot go on over the past year and a half so part of this career break was to just take time for myself, hence the solo travel for 5 weeks.
The past 6 weeks has truly been the trip of a lifetime, and I can’t wait to restart life with you when I’m back in London.
The best part of this is that Alex won’t see it until she lands.
But for now it’s time to figure out what’s going on in my little pea head.
Have a safe flight.
Lots of love
Jam

First gym video in forever
The past 6 months I’ve been going 1x per week purely focussed on running and I’ve lost a fair amount of strength / muscle.
I always try and make gym a priority in the few months after a marathon just to help rebalance a few bits and put me in a good place for the next block as we’ve now gone almost 2 years without an injury (touch wood).
Also I’m a sucker for changing training stimulus so I don’t get bored and do this forever so there will also be lots of cycling :)
ad Over the moon :) A note to always remember your why:
3 years ago I ran London because I lost my Dad and got so focussed on a time that I forgot why I even started in the first place.
the marathon is so much bigger than a time and 3 years later I finally got the feeling everyone talks about. One of my favourite days ever because I finally looked up and took every single ounce of energy in.
Can’t wait to do it again next year.
@buxtonwater@mindcharity movement really is medicine. #SweatandTears
2.41!! 8 minute PB :)
Many a sweat and tears were shed on that one, a massive shoutout to @buxtonwater and @mindcharity for keeping me hydrated and letting me run for them.
Proud to support their campaign towards improving physical and mental health and to do it all whilst running the best marathon in the world!!
Not quite what we came for but I LOVED THAT.
On to the next!! AD
ad anyone else feel like they’ve been tired since 2023?
Balancing a lot at the moment but we’re almost at the finish line (ahhhh), helped by @lululemon Fast and Free collection.
