NYC Marathon 2025- so nice we had to do it twice…. Started at 1am for the first marathon running the route in reverse. Then paced Dee for her first ever marathon and she killed it and went sub 5- so proud. Man that was fun, I love NYC. Time for pizza. Huge thanks to @movember for the chance to run NYC- you can donate to my fundraiser using the link in my bio.

huge W for the books… Putting a diamond on a diamond. I wouldn’t be half the man I am without the whole woman she is. Insanely lucky to have the most supportive, caring, loving and beautiful woman by my side everyday. One of a kind partner, soon to be wife. How sick x

its a universal language... No matter where you are and how unfamiliar things feel- running is always consistent. It will always bring you back to that calm and familiar state of being. It’s a feeling that can be tapped into anywhere in the world. This year I have travelled a lot and life has been pretty hectic. But running has been my home away from my home. It’s my comfort. I travelled to Tokyo twice this year and the city and it’s culture there always gives me a new sense of energy. It gives me little gems that I can take back home with me and into my own envrionment. The last time I visited the gems I took home were from the @asicsrunning Tokyo collection. The MEGABLAST and SONICBLAST have both joined my rotation of daily shoes. Giving me comfort not just to take things easy, but to also push myself too. Both trainers are now my go to’s.

yeah not my usual video but yesterday was crazy… Not something I would usually post but I actually thought it was a worthwhile message for others. I hear so much of phone snatching and people getting robbed and threatened but I didn’t really expect it to happen to me. Hopefully this video can help someone not go through the same situation. I am totally fine by the way. (Hold down the video and play on 2x because it’s quite long) But yeah I was robbed, had my phone stolen and threatened/hit in the process. Main takeaways from the situation (which probably lasted less than 2 minutes but felt a lot longer): As crazy as it is, London just isn’t a place you have your phone out on the streets so freely Headphones being too loud and noise cancelling at the same time isn’t the best combination if you are on your phone Protect everything with 2FA- my bank, social accounts, crypto wallets etc were all exposed because the phone was unlocked Don’t bother fighting back- it was stupid of me too and just resulted in making the situation worse. Spent the day so angry that I had been violated but at the end of the day your life is worth more than a replaceable object. I just hated having something taken from me and that’s what bothered me the most. But weapons are weapons and its too risky to bother, I learnt that the hard way. Dr. Martens are awful to run in- was a painful mile back to my house so I could block my phone lol Thank you to @apple for replacing my phone. I could feel unlucky that this happened or lucky that i’m fortunate enough to get a replacement that quickly. If you whatsapped me yesterday, I might have missed it as my messages haven’t synced properly Anyway, stay safe my city people xxx

running the NYC Marathon twice in one day… Has so much fun doing this- here’s the full breakdown and video of the two marathons. Marathon 1 we started at 1:15am running the marathon course in reverse with @mo.abdinn and special shoutout to @kaif.rzk who cycled the whole thing (citibike invoice was crazy) I then paced my fiancé for her first ever marathon which she smashed. Ran it in sub 5. Had so much fun on that course, NYC is a special one. Not racing and being able to stop, have interactions with the crowd and friends was seriously special to me. Serious grit from all the runners and congrats to all the finishers. Shoutout to the guy who gave me pizza- I needed that slice lol and big love to everyone who comes and cheers, it’s an insanely special day. Next year probably got enough time to get a third marathon done whilst waiting in the marathon village 😅

the secret to running more miles? become a full time multitasker and a part time barista. AD Alright this is an exciting competition in partnership with @delonghiuk where you can win one of their La Specialista coffee machines for your own home. All you need to do to enter is comment how long you think it took me to run the 5km whilst ticking off my to do list and make myself a flat white coffee (comment minutes and seconds to be more accurate). The time started from when I left the front door, to the minute my coffee was ready. The first guess, to the nearest second, or the closest guess after 7 days will be declared the winner. Winner will be announced on the14th November at @delonghiUK Full T&Cs available at @delonghiuk Good luck 🫡 #PerfettoTimeTrial #LaSpecialistaTouch

Success is never guaranteed or owed to you… But effort certainly invites it. See you can never control the outcome in life, but you can always control your input. You can control how hard you work, you can control if you stick to the plan and you can control making sure you show up when you said you would. And at the end of the day that’s what truly matters and that’s what truly defines you. That’s the mindset i’m keeping throughout this marathon block for Seville- maximising my input, giving it my all every session so that when I show up to the start line, I know that the outcome is in my favour. I know that no matter what, the best possible result is guaranteed, because I gave my best. That’s why I love running, because these mindset shifts and lessons don’t apply to just running, they are life changing when applied to the rest of your life. Today’s session: 5km warm up 6km target marathon pace 5km float 6km target marathon pace 5km cool down 6 seconds ahead per km on each marathon pace effort and session felt nice despite a busy week and low recovery due to some mid week food poisoning lol Another successful step towards race day. Onwards we go.

Treadmill long run… Heat and hills this morning. 40km ran, 1300m (4265ft) climbed and a bunch of gear and layers on- to get some extra weight on my back and a serious sweat on. 60 mins at 3% incline 60 mins at 10% incline 30 mins at 3% decline 10 mins at 5% incline 20 mins flat 30 mins at 15% incline (walking) 30 mins flat Tough but strong session. 34 days until Moab 240… you can question my performance, my talent, my position but one thing you can’t question, is my work rate.

growth doesn’t reward you with ease... It hands you a heavier weight. But that’s the whole point. Discomfort isn’t punishment, it’s the price. The price of all the things that you want to achieve. You have to be willing to pay it every day without hoping it will get easier. Because it doesn’t get easier- the closer you get to the goal, the more pressure that gets applied. Difference is, you grow enough to handle it. This is not just about running, it never has been.

Day 2 running 1200km across Greece, complete. 89.7km covered, we are now over 170km in. The mountain roads, the rain, the heat, the terrain-they all tried to eat me up today. But I ate them up instead. 1029km left to go. 1 step at a time. 📸 @seanevansphotos

Seville Marathon 2026: 2:47:46 Signed, Sevilled, Delivered. Fell a little short of 2:45 but you know what, I gave it my absolute everything during this block and I’m walking away with a 9 minute PB- never been prouder. Anyway, hanging the marathon boots up for a while, time to get back to them long long runs….

A thank you to running… It changed my life. But not just my fitness and physical capabilities. It changed everything. My mindset, my ability to deal with adversity, my career, my relationships, my whole existence was shifted. This post isn’t stuff I usually talk about but I’m trying to be more open along the way, in the hopes it helps others. Running didn’t fix everything, but it was the catalyst. It gave me the tools I needed in order to fix things myself. I’m not sure who I would be and where I would be if I didn’t decide to start getting out there and moving. Getting fitter has been great, but I owe way more to running than my marathon time, my vo2 or any other metric. It’s helped me find purpose. I guess that’s why I’ll continue to pursue these adventures and why I’m about to take on this 1200km run across Greece. Because I genuinely love it. It’s enabled me to take my negative traits and channel them into something positive. If I can change, anyone can and I hope this inspires people who may want to.
