#198 Frozen Lake Marathon – 23 March 2024
The idea I found out about this marathon, thanks to Oli, whom I met through the 100 Marathon Club / online. We were doing a lapped race in Staines and chatting about running. I wanted to know Oli's favourite races (he travels around the world doing marathons. Honestly, it's so much that if you meet... Continue Reading →
#105 Midnight Marathon
I decided to sign up for the Midnight Marathon with Second Wind Running in a spur of a moment... it's not a surprise when it comes to me. I didn't have anything planned after Centurion's NDW100 and everything that happened after that race was a tad spontaneous. It was Monday and my legs just about... Continue Reading →
#58 ZUK
There’s a whole story behind the Zimowy Ultramaraton Karkonoski (ZUK)… It’s a popular race that is difficult to get into. I was meant to be running it with Dorota in 2017, but I got in and she didn’t. Waiting until February when people drop out and some spaces become available wasn’t plausible at the time,...

#50 Bovington Marathon
Bovington Marathon 16th December 2017 To say that there was some anticipation prior to this race would be a massive understatement. Not only it’s a winter WSR race, so the last time I’d seen my WSR Family was in September, but it was also meant to be my 50th marathon. I was taking it really easy... Continue Reading →
#33 Cranleigh Trail Marathon
Cranleigh Trail Marathon was another local race that I was looking forward to. Unfortunately it was still a palava to get there from Godalming using public transport (aka via Guildford)… And that’s not a problem, if only I could have got there in time! I considered cycling but in the end Jamie said that he’d give... Continue Reading →
#32 The Ox
The Ox was my first ever marathon, back in May 2015, I have very fond memories from this race so I can't stay away and this year was my third go 😀 Driving to Wiltshire from Godalming on a Friday night is always fun, but to be fair it wasn’t too bad and we got... Continue Reading →
#31 The Fox
I have to say, I was beyond excited about this race. So excited, that I even briefly considered doing the ultra, instead of the marathon, but remained sane in the end and decided NOT to do the additional 18K! There was also an option to do a 21km, but the marathon is such a great... Continue Reading →
#30 Gdansk Marathon
The whole thing happened a little bit out of the blue. The race was sold out by the time I found out about it, but there were some additional tickets to be sold on the Friday before (the Marathon was on Sunday), therefore there was no guarantee that I was going to get in. My... Continue Reading →
Queen Elizabeth Spring Marathon 2017
The Queen Elizabeth Spring Marathon is one of my favourite events. Phil’s events are always very well organised and supplied. Unfortunately I left it till the very last minute – aka the entries were closed! I emailed Phil and as if by magic someone dropped out and he had one space (just for me :D).... Continue Reading →
