TCS London Marathon 2026

I'm taking part in the TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamStroke

I joined #TeamStroke for the TCS London Marathon 2026.

There are over 1.4 million stroke survivors in the UK, with 100,000 strokes happening in the UK each year. That's one stroke every five minutes.

We're here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so we work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. We rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

My final donation

Friday 20th Mar
Before having to cancel my 2025 marathon entry, I’d raised £500 for the Stroke Association. Unfortunately this was non-refundable so although the charity benefited, my sponsors had paid me to sit at home, watching the race on TV :(
I’ve covered the full amount of last years sponsorship into this years fundraising account from my own money so that should make up for having to cancel last year.
I just need to avoid ladders for 1 more month…

1 year anniversary of being stupid!

Thursday 12th Feb
A year ago today I blew my chances of the 2025 London Marathon by falling of the roof of my bus and breaking my knee, tearing my meniscus and spraining some other vital knee things. I’d raised £500 for charity and have promised to transfer this amount over to this years marathon donations out of my own pocket. It was my own fault after all.

45 runs in! 266miles!

Monday 26th Jan
Since getting my marathon place, I’ve now spent 45 days training and my long runs are up to 18miles. The training is by far the most difficult part. Cold weather, no crowd support, no water stations, no route, no company. So far, since training commenced, I’ve ran over 266miles to prepare for the marathon. That’s got to be worth a donation 😉

6 months to go!

Sunday 26th Oct
Training is going well but the weather is getting colder and finding the enthusiasm to drag my arse around the streets in the cold is fading.

1st Strava upload

Sunday 12th Oct
Since getting my place in the 2026 marathon, I’ve done 23 runs of various distances. Today I broke my 10mile, 15k and half marathon PR’s for the 3rd time since starting marathon training. That’s got to be worth a donation 😀

Let’s try this again!

Saturday 11th Oct
Last year I was lucky enough to get myself a charity place for the 2025 London Marathon. After raising around £500, i unfortunately fell off a ladder, fracturing my knee, tearing my meniscus and various other injuries to my leg.
I’m now fully healed (touch wood) and back training for the 2026 London Marathon. 
I’ll post my progress on here and if I’m technologically capable, I’ll share my Strava runs during training. 
Feel free to add me on Strava too!

Thank you to my sponsors
