Running Records

 

19:08 - 5K / parkrun


Event: Rickmansworth parkrun (12 July 2025)
The Strategy: Short-course speed profiling. A baseline indicator of pure anaerobic power and pacing sharpness.

1:31:57 - Half Marathon


Event: Victoria Park Half Marathon (29 June 2025)
The Strategy: A high-threshold, sustained effort testing top-end aerobic capacity. Completed on a brutally hot day, requiring strict heat-pacing management and mental resilience to defend the target time without redlining.

3:37:11 - Marathon


Event: Richmond Marathon (14 Sept 2025)
The Story Behind the Number: This race was completed using a zero-carb, fuel-free strategy (no mid-race gels or carbohydrates). While it demonstrated high metabolic efficiency, it ultimately served as the catalyst for my suspected REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) recovery journey—marking the exact moment I realized my fueling strategy needed a fundamental shift.

1:46:07 - Half Marathon
