Boston Marathon 2014 - Race Report

Runner. Marathoner. Boston qualifier. Boston finisher. 

After running the London Marathon last week, there was hardly any time to recover as I travelled to Boston to run the 118th edition of the Boston Marathon. The Boston Marathon is the ultimate achievement in the eyes of every marathoner because it's the world's oldest annual road race and the most prestigious marathon with a registration process based purely on merit.

The event that sealed the deal, Chicago Marathon, October 2012.

London Marathon 2014 - Race Report

My debut at the London Marathon over a year ago was a very humbling experience. I remember my legs completely dying on me at mile 16 (a feeling I've never experienced so quickly before), the dreadful thought that there were still 10 more miles to go, and that no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't shake the funk that fell upon me. I dreamed about running sub-3 hours and didn't get it, but that's the reason why dreams are big and they're hard to get.

Tokyo Marathon 2014 - Race Report

When I entered the ballot for Tokyo, a place on the start line was the last thing on my mind. So, when I got confirmation that my ballot entry was actually successful, I found myself quickly needing to get ready for one more marathon. After all, I couldn’t refuse the opportunity to go to Tokyo!
