London Marathon: AJ over the Line

AJ over the Line

We’ve done it!

With your help, support and donations, I completed my first London Marathon in 3h 41min 18sec on Sunday.

The atmosphere was insane. Going shoulder to shoulder with thousands of other lucky maniacs taking on the 26.2 miles was a pleasure. But the crowd was so amazing that my Apple Watch warned me of how loud the noise was. Wow!

Let’s not forget why we went on this journey. As part of a team of 100 RNIB runners, we have raised hundreds of thousands for people with visual impairments. @rnib have helped me, and now we have allowed them to help others.

So thank you. Whether you donated, sent a message of support, shared my link or cheered my name while I ran, you’re a legend.

Thank you to the RNIB for allowing me to achieve a life goal and give back and for treating me well, from my coaching to my post-race massage and meal.

And thank you to Mum, Dad, Dave and Lin for coming out to support me through a tiring weekend. Sorry I missed you in that mile 25 video - my mental strength was being challenged at that moment for sure!

My purpose is to inspire, unite and excite through sport. So if my journey impacted you, I am grateful and encourage you to use that positivity towards overcoming your own challenges.

Will I do another marathon? Yes, I’d do it again but not until I can walk down the stairs without wincing again. All things going well, though; my next challenge will be in London.

Speak to you then,

Adam
