Before the rebuild starts, did some running with the kids this morning while I was doing some 200m x 10 they did some short cuts on the field to try and catch me. The goal to sub 3 hr marathon continues 🤛

The next chapter begins. 🏃🏿‍♂️

17km ✔️

My last marathon didn’t end with the time I was chasing.

It ended in 3:28.

Of course I wanted more—but every race teaches you something if you’re willing to learn.

Recovery is done.
The lessons have been taken on board.
Now it’s time to build again.

This 17km run wasn’t about proving anything.

It was about showing up.

Because every new goal starts with the first step.

The journey continues, and I’m more motivated than ever to see what’s possible.

A long sob for the , what looked like a failed mission was actually a great achievement, looking back. This marathon was a great success and a move closer to the goal. Let’s keep pushing💪

Update video rant coming soon, but we are getting closer to the goal, Marathon #2 done, the real training begins now, 28 min to shave off the time. Gold Coast Marathon was awesome, I couldn’t get in second gear but the good news is that the engine was still raving at 30-42kms. Massive cramps to a stop to the desired outcome but the future looks bright. A few more days rest and we will be back even stronger 🤛💪

Kit ready and locked in, GC marathon 2026 🤛
