SYDNEY MARATHON 2025
What a run - Sydney Marathon has exceeded all my expectations, from the expo to everything that unfolded in the race today it has been nothing short of amazing.
Today was the best and coolest running experience I’ve ever had. I ran with my headphones on my head and had them turned off all day because the atmosphere and vibes were too good to block out. The streets were sooooo loud, the crowds were massive and the finish line in front of the Oprah House was pretty special.
I managed to run a 3.12 race today which is a 6 min personal best. To say I’m stoked is an understatement. I set out with the goal to run well within my limits and completely enjoy the experience of a major marathon. This was the most consistent marathon I have ever run and to be able to finish strong is something I’m very proud of.
I want to shout out my running/training buddies who joined me for nearly every single 5am Thursday morning session for the past 20 weeks, plus long runs on the weekend. Thank you, absolutely no way I’d get the most out of myself running solo out there.
To my amazing clients, friends and family who supported, listened to me carry on about running and who sent amazing messages of support and encouragement yesterday and today thank you!!!
Thank you to my amazing wife who supports me through my training and marathon journey. There is a lot of selfishness when it comes to long distance running and I seriously couldn’t have done this without her encouragement and motivation. Special shout out to my number 1 little fan, Hazel!!! These are memories that we will hold with us forever.
Special shout out to my mother in law Mez who came over to give Emma a helping hand with all the race day logistics. You both did amazing not to get lost haha!
Ps the post race Guinness tastes sensational after 8.5 months booze free 🍻
