Hackney Half Marathon 2026 💛
This one felt different. I went in feeling really strong - maybe the quickest I’ve ever been 😅 … managed to trip over trying to do a sneaky overtake 🤦♀️ and after that my body basically clocked out and sciatica flared up 🥲 Finish time was 10 mins behind what I’d trained for.
‘You still got sub 2 hours postpartum’ — I hear ya, but when you’ve trained hard for something, it’s still disappointing when it doesn’t quite come together. Especially when my target was to beat the 1:52 half marathon I somehow ran whilst pregnant 😂
Trying to give myself some perspective though: 11 months postpartum, breastfeeding, surviving on peak teething broken sleep, juggling work, motherhood and training… I’ve never been in the camp of ‘at least you did it’ but yesterday I was honestly just happy to finish 🙏
Very grateful for all my friends, family and the amazing supporters who came to cheer and pick me back up ❤️ Supporter vibes were 💯 and I got to see our little girl at the end ! 👶💖
Looks like we gonna have to go again 😅
