  • AND WE DID IT!!! Wow this has been such a journey. 4 months ago I started running and thought, ‘why not do a marathon?’. I got a charity place and ended raising over £3000 for the mental health foundation. The race was so emotional as you will see….

    When you started crying as you crossed that finish line, I no joke couldn't hold back my tears. I recently ran a half marathon - and I felt the exact same when I finally made it. You did an incredible job and this achievement of yours encouraged me to push myself to complete the full distance in may next year. Thank you Anna, you're amazing.

I kept up with your running journey from the start and it actually motivated me to start running. I cried watching you cross the finish line, it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come. I stopped running for a couple of months bc of some emotional stuff but I did my first run in a while today and I can’t wait to get back into it.

    Well Done!! It can happen to anyone of all running experiences. You can only really tell if you’re gonna have a good one, when you you’re running it, and If you’re gonna bonk, or generally have a bad one, the London marathon is one of the best to do it, because of the support, and the really generous cut off times. Enjoy all the aches and pains, you’ve earned them 😂

  • @tommynikon2283
    @tommynikon2283 Год назад +1

    CONGRATS Anna, been there! It's a milestone for anyone- and one of those things that is a MENTAL head-game, willing yourself to finish, maintain a pace, etc. 4x marathons here, many more Tris, and a few halfs thrown in. I thought it was the hardest thing I'd ever done at that pointy in my life (20's), but then I took up mountain climbing and guiding, and that was even tougher: up to 50# on your back, going up 30 to 50 degree slopes, at altitude. Wishing you well....and LISTEN to your body, from training, recuperation, to dietary needs.
    Also, consider doing a proper cycle of "carb loading".....depleting your body and then loading up for race day; it really does work. Glycogen= Fuel.

  • @colrunswild4adventure781
    @colrunswild4adventure781 Год назад +1

    Well done. That was a fantastic effort. Pushing through is the definition of the marathon. So much is mental strength.
    On such a big positive life event not getting excited is so difficult. The excitement, adrenaline and running a little bit quickly at the start make respiration efficiently really difficult. Sometimes we can mistake it for dehydration because we're struggling and we take on to much water which moves the stitch from the diaphram to cramp in the stomach. To suffer from stich that badly and finish you done amazingly well. Great truthful video. I'm going to go back and catch up with your journey. Cheers.

    Please use this platform to inform more people to stop these crazy challenges. A marathon is not easy, if it was, it wouldn't require about 3-4 months of continuous training just to be done safely. You are young and used to working out and still had issues. Imagine the average people who don't workout but just follow all the weird challenges, not knowing what's the cost. I've seen people pass out and later found 1 of them died, on a marathon in the heat. Please people, be more aware of your limits, nothing against overcoming limits and boundaries, but be aware of what they are and don't try to overcome them too much, it could cost much more than you think.
