TCS London Marathon 2026

Please help me reach my £2500 target

London Winter Walk Marathon, Oval

This was my 3rd time doing this marathon. It is so well organised really interesting route and perfect timing to see where I am with my training for April. The answer is it couldn't have gone much better. I was hoping to set a time under 6 hours 30 and I came in at 6 hours 11. I flagged a bit in the final quarter so more work to do and 6 hours is definitely possible.

Now time for a bath and probably a beer.

Thank you again for all your incredibly generous donations, I am so close to my target!

New Shoes work their magic!

Thank you for all your donations! I am incredibly grateful.

It was a frosty one today! Headed off around 8.30am and it was -2! The fact I was wearing a T-shirt (as well as hat & gloves) meant people got out of my way and stayed well clear. A couple of people did shout 'Are you mad? You must be freezing!'

The cold certainly spurred me on, and the new shoes it turned out, were amazing. I covered 32km and was 30 minutes quicker all down to the footwear as I certainly am not any fitter than last time I did this walk!

The measure of how cold I got is that I am typing this whilst wearing a jumper (those of you who know me well know that I only ever wear a jumper when I am ill!), wrapped in a blanket and with a hot water bottle!

I have one corker of a blister and my legs are a little stiff but an excellent start to the 2026 campaign. Next big one will be the London Winter Walk at the end of January to help with the limbering up

Getting Started

New shoes are broken in, training events are booked now it is all about raising money for this amazing cause. On a personal note I am still slightly in shock that I have a place in this historic event. I am so happy London Air Ambulance chose to give one of their highly sought after places to me, now it is all about the money!

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 2025 running with the London's Air Ambulance Charity Team. Please give what you can to help save lives in London.
