Abigail Williams

TCS London Marathon 2022

Update 3!!

If you’d have told me in April that I would be willingly getting up at 6am to run nearly 30 kilometres by choice… I’d have absolutely laughed in your face!
.
It’s amazing how having the goal of the London Marathon has completely changed my mindset and I’ve been able to push myself more than I ever thought I could! 
.
Today was a milestone. The furthest I’ve ever run. Also my first run with hydration/gels/bars, and what a difference they make!!
.
I’m so proud of myself today. In April, I couldn’t run a 5k without having to stop and walk multiple times! Just proof you can achieve way more than you think when you put your mind to it!!
.
With the marathon 9 weeks away, my training is well under way! 
If you can help me meet my fundraising goal, I’d be ever so grateful!!

Update #2

So today was my first run in a very very long time! I’m thankful for the beautiful sunshine that helped me get out of bed and into my running gear this morning 

I have posted a picture of my Strava in the gallery below, but I managed 3.35 miles in 44:12. I ran at a pace that pushed me but I took plenty of rest stops. I didn’t have a route planned, so I just ran to a local park and did a couple of laps and then ran back… turned out to be a nice 5k route!

Surprisingly I enjoyed it more than I thought I would do, considering I’ve been putting it off for a few weeks now!

I’m really looking forward to being able to make progress with my distance, endurance and speed!

I just hope this gorgeous weather can stay ☀️

Update #1

So… now that my page is set up, I think I have to stop putting off training for this marathon!
Thank you to everyone who has been supportive (and those who have laughed) when I’ve revealed I would be running the TCS London Marathon for London’s Air Ambulance Charity!
I’ll be keeping you all up to date with training progress and I’ll prove them with Strava evidence!!

I know most of you will know exactly what LAA do on a daily basis… so I won’t go on about that too much. 

You’ll all also probably know that this is going to be a challenge for me and I would appreciate any and all sponsorships/donations that you can make!

Thank you 😘

I'm fundraising for...

I'm running to help save lives in London

London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients. Your donation will help save more lives by keeping the helicopter in the air and the rapid response cars on the road, ready for when they are needed most. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, London’s Air Ambulance Charity aims to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

I will be taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2022 running with the London's Air Ambulance Charity Team. Please give what you can to help save lives in London.
