Run The Planet

So today I ran the Berlin Marathon 2025, my first Abbott Major, and couldn't be happier to tick that box πŸ˜ƒ Forget the time πŸ₯΅ I will get to that, if you want to know (I know some will wait for the video) I'll put it Strava shortly.
This morning I had turned my phone on the support notifications that poured through was amazing, I haven't had chance to to read them all and I'm getting to the airport to come home (I will get to them all and reply), in the meantime thank you all so much, it means alot and I carried it through the race with me πŸ˜ƒ

Guten Morgen, Willkommen in Berlin πŸ˜ƒ And the first time in the capital, so nice to spend a little time here. If you'd like to track me on Sunday 9:15 (8:15 UK), the app is BMW Berlin Marathon, apparently it's really accurate 😲
Off to the expo shortly to pick up the bib. It's heating up πŸ”₯

Run The Planet

It's the biggest week of the sub3 RDA training plan, hitting 140 km πŸ˜ƒ who'd have thought πŸ€” Months ago I questioned whether it's possible, now I'm here, it's easy 🀯 I shaved a few km off next week and added it to this week, with next weekend been the biggest VPLR of the block.

Feeling good, carrying my highest Vo2 score, and feeling I can still do more. Weight is the lowest of the year at 75.8kg (though I've been lighter before), there's more to drop.

Also this weeks training load has allowed me to add a couple extra carb meals 🍚 and maintain weight loss. No sessions missed, including the strength work too, though there is very little time left in the week to do anything else 🀣

Marathon training - It's sleep work run eat repeat πŸ˜΄πŸ€“πŸƒπŸš no time for anything else, but it's not forever ay !

Berlin is just 4 weeks out, I'm keen to get over there and give it a shot πŸ’ͺ

Before that it's the GNR, hope to see you there πŸ˜ƒ
