Life is a Marathon

As a competitive runner I ran on the track, cross country & road, ultimately finishing in the Top 100 of the London Marathon. Read a story inspired by running!

The hardest opponent to beat is yourself #manageyourmind

Do you have to do The London Marathon to call yourself a runner?

Enjoy those runs when you float along, but love those runs that are a struggle because they define your mental strength 👊

Do you live to run or run to live?

Take a moment to appreciate every training session, because you never know when injury will deny you of the opportunity to run.

Don’t be fooled by appearances. The opponent running next to you looking relaxed and comfortable could be just about to reach their breaking point. Don’t think they are not feeling the pain as you battle stride-for-stride in the race to the finish line.

Don’t be intimidated by talent, be inspired by it!

Endurance running is about ignoring that voice in your head that says it is too painful and you can’t push harder. Just like in life where you need to ignore that inner voice stopping you from moving outside of your comfort zone and trying new challenges.

How do you get a running high?...Running with a free mind? or Beating the clock? or Defeating a rival? or Enjoying the outdoors?...Whatever the reason, enjoy!

Don’t let your mind limit your performance. Run with freedom, aim to discover what you can do rather than worry about what you can’t.

You learn more from your losses than your victories, so see defeats as opportunities to develop. As the inspirational leader Nelson Mandela said: "I never lose. I either win or I learn."

It is not how you start a race that matters, it is how you finish.
