2020 I was mentally and physically unfit; I weighed in at 105kg (16st 7lb) and had never taken up running as a form of exercise. 2021 I started my running journey with a short 3.2km (2 miles) run every few days, then ran my first ever half-marathon in a time of 1:37:58, joined a running club and by the end of the year I had run over 2,022km (1,250 miles), completed 4 x half-marathons, achieved a sub 90-minute time on the 3rd attempt and managed to lose 27kg (4st 4lb) in the process. 2022 was all about going faster and further including my first ever marathon in a time of 2:56:36, the 100km ultra-marathon from London to Brighton completed in a time of 11:29:28, and by the end of the year I had run over 4,220km (2,620 miles) -- the equivalent of 100 x marathons! Here's to 2023 ... new year, new targets, and new ambitions!
