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.

The last mile

Monday 27th Apr

It’s done!

Monday 27th Apr
A huge thank you for all the donations and support from colleagues, friends and family - the generosity has been amazing. A long day yesterday - a 3 miles walk to Blackheath - a consequence of living on the route and no buses. First half of the marathon went well. I saw Seb and Zack at Rotherhithe. Then next few miles we’re ok. I saw my colleague Jana near Limehouse. 
Then I got cramp near Canary Wharf, walked a bit but fixed it will gels and sports drinks. Throughout the crowds were amazing - all along the route, in some places the noise was crazy. 
Last six miles I jogged along and saw Seb, Zack, Milan and Jordan on Birdcage Walk just before the finish. Lots of fist pumping. 
Then we went off to rehydrate 😉

Five days to go…

Tuesday 21st Apr
Half marathon at the weekend. Over 300 training miles this year - google says that’s enough to finish. All messages and donations are very welcome 🙏. 

Two weeks to go

Monday 13th Apr
The London Marathon is two weeks away. Yesterday I ran 17 miles up to Tower Bridge back to Greenwich and then did it again. 43 miles in total last week. Better weather helps!
The messages of support and kind donations mean a lot!!

Three weeks until the day

Monday 6th Apr
Long run was a disaster today Easter Monday - tripped over by London Bridge - and after ten miles felt dizzy. Ran a few more miles.  
Need to look seriously at hydration and fuelling. But hey. Running up and down the river in the sunshine is beautiful and all the supportive messages really help.

4 weeks to go.

Sunday 29th Mar
Big boost to fundraising this week which is heartwarming. Just ran 16.5 miles and nothing broke. 

5 weeks to go.

Saturday 21st Mar
Park run today with 5 weeks to go with Seb and Zack. Easy pace chatting. 20 miles so far this week and the Long Run tomorrow. 

Thank you to my sponsors
