How do I feel after my first run post Copenhagen?
Not great tbh, but it gave me time to think about how I didn't things during the race...
I think I did as well as I could for a first race, fuelling during the race was pretty spot on, didn't feel lethargic or bloated.
I'd probably say I drank too much fluids pre race which led to a couple of toilet breaks, that added around 90s to the race time.
But this is something to learn from and something to gain experience from and improve in the future!

Always a good day when the professional race day photos come out!
Thanks you @cphmarathon for an amazing race, and somehow making me look relatively good despite the pain I was in.

OFFICIALLY A @cphmarathon FINISHER! 3:27:06 Chip Time!!
Copenhagen you were absolutely amazing! Beautiful route through the city and the support was off the charts!
Legs hurt like hell but it was so worth it! Thank you to @runna , who while I didn't meet the expectations you set for me, help set me up for my first marathon and got me to where I wouldn't have imagined I'd be a year ago!
Big shout-out to @zozo_inverted for running around the city catching the Metro here, there and everywhere to support me, it means the world ♥️
For now, I shall enjoy the rest, but don't worry @frankfurtmarathon you're next!

Obligatory flatlay time!!
Tomorrow is a big day, something that's been in the pipeline for nearly a year, and something @runna has been helping me train for since the start of the year, all comes together tomorrow!
I know what goals I have in mind, but the key thing to remember is that even just finishing a marathon is a massive achievement regardless of time, and that whatever happens I mustn't be upset if I don't meet the expectations I set myself.
@cphmarathon we meet tomorrow, and whatever happens it's going to be a day to remember 🏃🏻♂️🇩🇰

Such an amazing time at the @zalando x @cphmarathon shakeout run this morning!
The weather was amazing and the vibes were immaculate! Copenhagen is such a beautiful city (and more importantly very flat)

And that's that! Today's run takes me over 500km for 2026! No more runs to do until @cphmarathon this Sunday! Top that off with @arsenal getting to the Champions League final and it's a pretty good week!
Legs felt fantastic and comfortable l, now to just get my life together and make sure I don't forget anything before flying out tomorrow!
Lovely sunny warm @andoverparkrun this morning! Hard pacing but enough left for a good kick at the end! Legs feeling ready for next weekend at @cphmarathon .
Also the baby swanlings are out, and aren't they just adorable 😍

So even though I don't run Copenhagen until the 10th May, I've officially entered the @frankfurtmarathon !! Hopefully ticking off another of the @europeanmarathonclassics
Entering this gives me an opportunity to improve on my CPH time, or learn lessons from it. Looking forward to it regardless 🇩🇪
@runna hook me up with a plan yeah?
#marathonrunner #marathontraining #crazy #anotherone #fitness
Me running at what will hopefully be my average marathon pace come next Sunday at @cphmarathon ! Final long run of the plan getting used to running at a sustained effort.
Legs felt good, no aches or pains. Hot day for a run, BUT I LOVE IT! @runna don't know what I'd have done without you!

Last full week of my @runna@cphmarathon plan!
Legs felt better after a little run out and faster pace felt very natural! I would say I'm in a positive headspace coming into the race on the 10th May!
Although I suspect my marathon journey may only just be beginning... Stay tuned 👀

Early morning runs are much more pleasant when it's sunny! Shame it took until the 2nd last full training week to get like that 🙄
Nice 6.5km run with 3km tempo at between 4:05-4:15/km (yes it's as grim as it sounds)

Breaking out the headband because today was warm ☀️ I feel for the runners in London over the weekend if it's this warm during the marathon.
Chilled 9km run today, legs ached from running and gigging but I was a brave boy and pushed through 😂
