The Redemption Run
Right, the dust has settled on London 2026 - I finished it in 7hrs 22 mins. That the benchmark and the time to beat!
Now its time for Round 2!
Last year was the chaotic origin story: six weeks notice, 3.5 weeks lost to injury, and a lot of stubbornness holding everything together (with a bit of compede and a lot of haribo!).
This year is the sequel — and this time, I actually get to train.
I’ve been given the privilege of running the 2027 London Marathon for the Army Benevolent Fund, and with eleven months to prepare, I’m aiming to do this properly. Same cause, same determination… just more time to train, and more importantly break the fundraising total set last in 2026.
For those who aren't aware, the ABF is the Army's national charity, supporting soldiers, veterans and families as well as supporting other leading charities to ensure help is there for soldiers, for life.
They help with everything from mental heath support, training and education, elderly care and housing and more besides!
Please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'donate' button. The more people that know about ABF, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
