Balancing Training, Illness and Parenthood is Tough | Project 2:59 EP2

In January 2025, after many years of trying and failing, I decided to fully commit to changing my physical and mental welbeing through running. I ran my third marathon at Manchester in 3 hours and 58 minutes. I lost over 20kg, I ran a sub 19 5k and overall, stayed consistent with my running and training. I am so very proud of what I have achieved. All because I was sick of being sick and tired, I wanted to be a better Dad, Husband and overall human. Running has done that for me. I love challenges and after recently pulling out of my A race, 7 Valleys Ultra. I decided to look ahead and begin prepping for my next big one, Manchester 2027. We're a long way out, but even this week shows how I have to adapt each training week where required! Is it possible? Who knows, but let's go and find out together! 🏃‍♂ Strava   / strava   📸 Instagram —   / thisguyruns_
