@londonmarathon 2026🇬🇧✅ Official time 2:51:21 🤩 2nd best marathon time 😁 Still riding the high of this monumental day. After many years of rejection I finally managed to run on one of the biggest stages of them all and what a day it was! I don’t think I can or will ever be able to sum it up. One of the greatest days of my life! ❤️ AND, those of you that know me, will know what I’m like … I am actually happy with my time! 🤯🤩😅 First 10 miles: I defo went out quicker than I should have, but I was sooo happy chatting to people on the course, and just taking in the atmosphere which from start to finish is just INSANE!! 😮‍💨 Running over Tower Bridge was just incredible. Mile 13 - 18: this was when it started to warm up, the heat making it more of a mental challenge. Miles 19-25 are what made London for me ❤️ The crowds and the people really make it something special. I stopped a few times in places and the absolute roar and cheers and shouting from the crowds really give you the push that you need. I’m not ashamed to say the heat around 23 was brutal and there were times I really struggled, but the crowd constantly picks you up which I will be forever grateful for. At Mile 25 there was a point I stopped…didn’t feel like I was there, but the crowd erupted and again it did everything to get me going. I will never forget it. If you don’t get emotional at this event you’re not human!! 🥹 Sooo happy I got a sprint on towards the end…even if I did cramp up a few steps from the finish line 🤣🤣 So much love today for @nels_00 (the pics 🥰) @zoeericanelsey @wrightyem5 for chasing around the course and supporting me. To see you guys really did help, can’t thank you enough. @lami__40 The fact you flew down to London to try get to the finish line to see me before I finished, was the best thing ever that’s love! Even though I missed you on Embankment! 😭😭 (I promise I was preoccupied in the paincave) Seeing you at the end was something very special I won’t forget 🥰🥹 Shout out to @dave.peters86 @rumblefitness_uk for the plan, the support of the London journey we go again soon 💪🏾. Thank you 💜💚 #londonmarathon2026 #run #sub3 #GFA #marathon

🎊 Looks like I’m doing a marathon next year! Still smiling and can’t get over this, I will calm down soon, just the one post I swear 🤪😁😁🥳🎊 The hard work has FINALLY paid off! For those who know me - this has be a goal what I thought would always be unattainable. I’ve flirted with GFA before but was denied, however in 2025 I gave it one more go thinking I wouldn’t get in and then…best email EVER!! 🤩 For all those nights of coming straight in from work,saying hi then bye to @lami__40 then straight back out, following the running plan on those cold evenings and having to just be consistent throughout. For all the data analysed,it all helped to this 😁 Gave the good for age a go at Manchester marathon 2023, achieved it for the qualifying time for the goalposts to be changed at the last minute. 🫣😡 Went again at MK marathon 2024 but I just didn’t have it in the tank…😣 Went for it one more time, perfect conditions had to be at @mkmarathon weekend 2025. My 10th year and becoming a legend aswell (the legend medal says I am 🤪) It was and still is my best marathon to date, I enjoyed it to the max and got GFA from it 🥹 GFA Time for London marathon 2026 achieved ✅ Running @londonmarathon 2026 ✅ I GOT IN! 🥳 Thank you for everyone that has been part of this journey in anyway! @lami__40 putting up with the endless everything leading up to MK mara @markmudmadturner helping me build up to it 💪🏾 💪🏾@dave.peters86 for the perfect plan, never doubted it 💪🏾🥳 Now to really enjoy Christmas now that the running year has finished in style 🤩.

#sundayfundayrunday 🤩🟣🟢 @twinlakes20 20mile race- PB 2:10:42 🥳🤩 3rd in age cat Previous course best 2:18:22 (2023) Previous 20 mile PB 2:12:16 (last weekend mk festival of running) Felt good coming into this on the back of last weekends run but old habits still were there. Bad points- - Changed shoes last minute 🤔 - Started off way too cold and first 10mile pacing all over the shop 🤦🏽‍♂️ - Stopped at water stop to reset myself and get a grip Good points - PB!!🤩 - Nutrition on point I feel now thanks to @chiacharge (#just saying brought into training recently and 2 PBs in 2 weeks 😜) - Felt comfortable and in control second lap to know I was on for good time - Cheeky sprint finish on the line to protect 7th place 😎 What feels like a 1-0 win in football with the last kick of the game,to scrape the win, I am buzzing with another PB for the 20miles. I am and always be my own worst critic and believe I could of and should of done better with that first half of the race but that’s the joy of running- We go again 💪🏾 Confidence is rising still for the @mkmarathon now with that target still potentially in sight of the #sub3, but for now I will enjoy today and tomorrow and get back to the graft and make sure I do this right. Great race all round, great event,Marshalls, village, T-shirt, medal, route so thank you @twinlakes20 and team on putting on a great event as always!! If you haven’t done it highly recommend either the 10 or challenge yourself to the 20miles!!

@mkwinterhalf race day layout 2025 Last race of the year hoping to sign off 2025 in style. Running/racing hasn’t been great last few months with few injuries and niggles affecting long distance and speed so today is enjoying it and setting myself up for the start of next year. Managed to come through a Hyrox on Thursday so hoping training will have helped towards this. Going to enjoy today and what it brings always a great race to do, great way to end the year!🥳🤩 Good luck everyone racing today wherever it is! @rumblefitness_uk 🟣🟢💪🏾 #mkwinterhalf #mkwinterhalfmarathon #bcsevents #halfmarathon #runner #running #runningismytherapy #willenlakemiltonkeynes #race #rumbleracing #adidasadizeropro4

Cattle Creepy 10k- 2025 🥉place 38:59 First race back last night in what felt like forever. Quite nervous coming into this one as running over the last 11 weeks had dipped due to an Achilles issue so speed has not been there 🫣😅 Started the race ok tried to stay with the front pack and ease into the race, but the front pack were quick 😅. I knew the speed fitness would not be there and it came at mile 2 when I was really feeling it. Started blowing hard 🥵😂. When starting the second lap I seemed to find second wind. Coming up alongside the other runners who were dressed up and in some brilliant costumes,the atmosphere on course was a vibe! In the dark with head torches running alongside a bunch of minions ‘tonight we steal the moon!!’🤣🤣 Everyone was great!🥳 Thank you to all who shouted my name apologies if I didn’t see you or recognise you…it was dark 🤪🤣 From mile 4 I seemed to push on a managed to get to third. Was really feeling it for the last mile. Always a laugh navigating the tunnel especially with my dad marshalling at the end of it. Loved the last stretch and put my foot down just that little bit more to come in and hold onto 3rd place 🥳 Well done to Will Harding and @isaac.walter99 the beast on the 1st and 2nd quality times!! Absolutely buzzing to be back. Came out of it pain free. Always gutting that it’s not my 100% but that’s a me thing and always want more from myself but this is the start of the come back. Been able to change training mindset over last few months to more gym work so I did a Hyrox last week but definitely missed the big runs and speed work!🥹 Well done to everyone that ran, thank you to all the Marshalls and @bcs_eventsmk for putting on a great event as you do each year and for the great medals so o can complete the trilogy of races in style.Will definitely be back again, maybe a change of outfit is required as last pic shows 🤪 Not the A race next of the winter half next 💪🏾 let’s gooo! #cattlecreepy10k #bcsevents @rumblefitness_uk #race #running #runner #adidaspro4 #halloweenrunning #nightrun #fitness #medal #3rdplace🥉

East Midlands Grand Prix MK 10k - 35:47 NEW PB!!! 🥳🎉 21st out of 406 Haven’t broken 10k PB since November 2023,so really happy with that considering the heat and humidity. Haven’t done this race since 2022 where I had got a PB that year but running has gone well recently so thought I could be in for a PB just. Ran to the 2.38miles to the start which in hindsight wasn’t the best plan but maybe that actually helped, then easy run home after so just over 11miles in total 🤯😂 Met with @isaac.walter99 for the start which was fast frantic and exciting! This is a great race as part of a series of races which sadly I cannot do but still to be apart of this and see some elite runners out there is always an experience! Felt I ran well in the heat, felt comfortable tried to give it a good sprint finish so overall really happy with that. Always room for improvement but I will enjoy this PB for a while along side my recent 5k PB 🤩 Great run, if you’re wanting a fast 10k I highly recommend this and great way to test yourself against some amazing runners!! Thanks to all the Marshalls, let’s hope I can carry on this recent momentum on to the Newport carnival 5k this weekend!! #runner #running #race #racing #roadrace #10k #PB #sub3610k #sub36 #chasingpbs #runningismytherapy #runnersofinstagram #runningislife #runningisfun #adidas #adizeroadiospro4 #rumbleracing #rumblefitness

Milton keynes Marathon 2025- PB and GFA time 🥹 2:48:03 - 32nd out of 1934 10th @mkmarathon - Legend status acquired (legend medal says so 🤪) 10minutes 49seconds of previous PB in Manchester 2 years ago Taken so long to post as still stunned from this. I knew training had gone well but never saw this coming. So many pictures so many words to describe the day I will never do it justice. This one was a big one for me. 10th MK marathon and on the hunt for the elusive sub3 at MK whilst training for a 2:55 which was GFA until the recent change to 2:52…so little bit of pressure for this but it added to the excitement. Wow! What a day! The people, the support, the crowds, the atmosphere. I’m smiling in these photos because it was coming together and I was genuinely enjoying myself. Another runner actually commented on all of the people who had come out to cheer me on I was buzzing! 🐝 First half was more comfortable than the second, but I was always aware of the pace with the fear of burning out later. I was able to nail my nutrition this year with gels/ water & salt tabs. This seemed to do the trick as I was doing well going into the second lap. Just want to thank @dave.peters86 for a plan that supported me and the PB. It’s amazing what you can actually do when you stick to a plan! 🤪🤣 I was still in a good place leading up to mile 20, mentally and physically (thanks support crew) but for me the race was always going to start at mile 20. Having trained up to 23, I then realised a PB was on the cards! I started to feel cramp coming in at 24, then just before mile 26 it struck and I had to stop🤦🏽‍♂️😅 Grateful @josharis15 for running me in there. Even coming through the finish line I still couldn’t believe my time. Absolutely blown away! I had taken 10 mins off my previous PB! New PB 2:48:03. Thank you to all the support crew it meant the world!!! Signs make such a difference 🥹🤩, Everyone out on course and everyone who has helped me get this far. @lami__40 for being there throughout 🥰 Well done to @markmudmadturner aka turnernator on a second mara PB in just couple of weeks!🥳 🤞🏾come on @londonmarathon I’ve done it again please now let me in 😂

Sunday Funday Runday 🤩 So there we have it, all said and done… -Biggest training run of the marathon✅ 4 miles at easy pace, 19 at MP. What a day to go running, sun is shining, everyone out enjoying the weather. Great to see so many people out and about running. So jealous of people doing runs everywhere like Brighton marathon and London landmarks half but my victory lap is not to far away @mkmarathon 🤩 Been following a plan set out, been sticking to it as best I can. Hard work is done and is amazing to get to this point feeling good, recovery after these long runs has been great not wiped me out like before and I’ve enjoyed the process! I’ve worked hard. Completely dialled in so focus on and I’m actually proud of myself. There’s always going to be self doubt that ultimately kicks in now that tapering will begin, but overall I’m happy. It’s been tough in the early stages as running started to overtake my life but I hope this will all be worth when I get over the finish line for what will be @mkmarathon number 10 and get that X medal I’ve been after for so many years and hopefully a PB to go with it 🥹🤩 Watch this space!💪🏾 Felt great after the run so finish the day off with some active recovery with @lami__40 on a 5k walk 😎☀️👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏽 Well done to everyone that ran, race or training run or social or even just enjoying the sun today! Love the vibe that sun and running has on people 😊🤩 Seen so much on socials about tapering nerves and can fully understand, but just need to continue with this plan and it will see me through 💪🏾 #marathon #marathontraining #marathontrainingplan #lockedin #racing #running #runningismytherapy #runningmotivation #sub3 #taper #taperingrunner @adidas #adidasadizeropro3 #taperingsucks #miltonkeynes #miltonkeynesmarathon #mkmarathonweekend #rumbleracing #rumblefitness

Milton Keynes Parkrun- 15/03/25 So my 18th parkrun was done in style, dressed as a boob 😂 Running with my mum to help her fund raising journey for @breastcancernow , ‘what a right pair we were!’🤪 Mum is raising money for breast cancer now and is doing this alongside training for London marathon, her first marathon!!🤯🥳 So proud of what she’s done so far and how far she’s come along in training. Was a pleasure to help mum spread awareness with the visual reminder of the charity she’s raising money for. Even if we did have an issue with one boob, it did go ‘slightly tits up’ but we still had such a laugh along the way 😂 Quite a moment running past a runner who said as a previous survivor thank you for what you’re doing 🥹 and then a complete moment at the end when speaking to someone who shared her experience with us after the race. Humbled and makes the fundraising journey more important then ever. Thank you. Thank you @mkparkrun great marshals as always! Well done to @o7tgo running his first parkrun! Thank you for being the camera man and supporting us. Keep going @run.dawny13 you’re so close to your fundraising target -£92 left to go for £2500 goal!!!🤩🥳 Ladies don’t forget check those boobies!!🍩🍩 💖 For all those that have supported so far thank you 😊 /page/dawn-robinson-1723808311684?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=CL #breastcancernow #breastcancersupport #parkrun ##mkparkrun #runningmotivation #runningfamily #runnerscommunity #fundraising #boobies #checkyourboobiesladies
