participating in marathon on (22.09.2024) ABOUT:A marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometers (26.2 miles). It has its origins in the ancient Greek legend of Pheidippides, who is said to have run from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce victory. ### Key Aspects of Marathons: 1. **Training**: Successful marathon preparation typically involves a structured training plan that includes long runs, speed work, and recovery days. 2. **Pacing**: Managing your pace is crucial. Many runners use pacing strategies to avoid fatigue and maintain endurance throughout the race. 3. **Nutrition**: Proper nutrition before, during, and after the race is essential for energy and recovery. Many runners consume gels or sports drinks during the event. 4. **Events**: Marathons are held globally, with major events like the Boston Marathon, New York City Marathon, and London Marathon attracting thousands of participants. 5. **Community**: Marathons often foster a sense of community among participants, with training groups and support networks helping runners of all levels. 6. **Benefits**: Running marathons can improve cardiovascular health, build mental toughness, and offer a sense of achievement. Marathons can be challenging but are also incredibly rewarding, celebrating both individual perseverance and community spirit. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinking #designthinkers

An award-winning director, here to help and add value where I can. IoD Regional Director of the Year in consecutive years, 2019 and 2020 and a finalist in 2020 and 2021 in the International category.
My recent post on running generated some good discussion. Here's some stats which I hope you will find interesting; The world record time for men in the marathon is 2:01:39, set by Eliud Kipchoge. (a complete legend!) (He's also ran a sub 2 hour race in an unofficial event!) The world record time for women in the marathon is 2:14:04, set by Brigid Kosgei. (also a legend!) The oldest annual marathon, the Boston Marathon, started in 1897. The first Olympic marathon took place in 1896, in Athens, Greece. The average finish time for marathon runners worldwide is 4 hours 32 minutes and 47 seconds. In 2019, 7.5% of marathon finishers were aged 60 or older. - WOW! Almost half of marathon runners choose a marathon to participate in due to its location. The Tokyo Marathon is the youngest of the World Marathon Majors, established in 2007. The largest marathon in the world, the New York City Marathon, had 53,640 finishers in 2019. About 8.1% of marathon runners will hit “the wall” after the 20-mile mark. Runners aged 25-34 made up the largest group of marathon participants globally in 2020 at 28.2%. Approximately 22% of marathon runners worldwide include a marathon in their holiday plans. As an aside, these are my latest purchase - with a carbon plate insert. After all, at 63, you need a bit of help, right? #Synergy #healthsupplements

I spectated Ironman Copenhagen last weekend. Here’s my take as a conscientious observer of UTMB. When runners talk about Ironman’s investment in UTMB, it’s rarely generous. I’m not a triathlete. I don’t like riding bikes. I kinda like swimming. I saw a tremendous amount of joy and good energy on the streets. Lots of happy spectators cheering. Lots of miserable runners deferring their happiness for later at the finish line. Best I could tell, the complicated logistics were smooth. Copenhagen city streets were alive with Pride events and normal tourism. Streets were blocked, and pedestrians were held while runners passed. Non-triathletes would stop and watch with their kids, smiling. Zero frustration. I’ve been optimistically critical of UTMB’s Ironman connection. But I’m a hypocrite. I had never experienced Ironman. I’m sure they’re riddled with problems, but I witnessed a lot of joy on race day. If that’s what they’re bringing to trail running, what’s the problem? Some say they’re driving up the price. That’s not a UTMB problem; that’s a market problem. People are paying it and races like Tahoe 200 are $1,700. I come from a fundamental position of abundance. There is enough room for UTMB and dirtbag grassroots trail running. I get it now. Trail running at scale is going to be hard to sustain long term. Their business plan for trail running is ambitious. The core of ultratrail running is a celebration of ambition. I hope UTMB accomplishes their ambitious business plan and that their events bring joy at mass scale. #UTMB #trailRunning #entrepreneurship

That's right, 10.5 kilometers of pure awesome, and I'm aiming for the FINISH LINE in FIRST PLACE! But hey, it's not all sunshine and rainbows (yet!). I'm putting in the hard work, practicing like crazy, and even trying something super cool – a 4-day water fast to build up my stamina and energy levels. It might sound intense, but trust me, I'm doing it with the proven track record and I'm sure it's safe. Why am I doing all this, you ask? Well, it's not just about winning (although that would be pretty epic!).

I coach Young Professionals to STRUCTURE their life, build sustainable HABITS & a work/life balance to look, FEEL and perform at their best.
𝗠𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁/𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻: 𝟭𝟬 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 🏃🏽♂️ 1. Running a marathon outwith an official one, without spectators, would be death by a thousand paper-cuts. Having so many people take time to support all the marathon runners is absolutely class and proper wholesome. 2. Completing a marathon, FOR ME, was more of a challenge than a lifestyle- doing this more than once would seem massively unappealing at this stage! 3. It’s easy to go out HOT and run fast too quickly. I found this out the hard way. Your adrenaline is pumping and you feel on top of the world in the early stages… yet around 30km in, you feel like you’re weights round your ankles. 4. Using the “Runna” app for training was a saviour as it keeps you accountable to a solid plan, however, the pacing element is rough and learning to stick to a certain pace is really hard. 5. On the day there are pacers, which I didn’t actually know, that definitely helped me on the day. It’s good to know what you’re averaging without constantly looking at your phone/ watch for updates. 6. Intra-run carbohydrates are key for longer runs. Of course the gels are great, but having some solid foods like jelly babies or squashies are ideal alongside these. 7. Strava is full of hype men and women. 8. Not all hero’s wear capes- the gentleman who saw me on my knees (in pain with cramp) at a service station half way to Scotland was also coming back from the marathon and loaned me his massage gun whilst he had some food- this guy is a legend. 9. Doing an event like this without a partner/ friend or family member on hand to support would be horrible! Rebecca was a wife, carer and physio in one! 10. @koba.run is the best starting place for anyone looking for a judgement free, chilled out approach to getting started in running. If you live in Glasgow, it’s a class community environment to learn. #run #marathon #manchestermarathon #manchestermarathon2024 #running #runna #strava #stravaclub

“All rides need not be a race. Sometimes when you slow down you start enjoying the ride better.” I possibly had the best ride of the week today riding along with Raj sir, a septuagenarian cyclist in our neighbourhood. Sometimes when you slowdown you observe things around you better. Suddenly there are new unknowns discovered among the knowns. We start to appreciate things a little better, as we soak in the present and become more mindful. It’s not just the surroundings but people too. You get to know them really better. And just then a pearl of wisdom gets dropped and you feel grateful you slowed down. Something that he said stayed on even after the ride. He said, “Logonko har pal ka maza le na nahi aata aajkal.” (People don’t know how to truly enjoy the moment.) Context: This was a community ride, with over 50+ cyclists, but most people seemed to be in a hurry to just complete the loop to claim the rewards. But hey, this wasn’t a race. Everyone would get rewarded equally as a finisher 🏅anyway. The bigger point is, the RIDE was the REWARD, but maybe not all got the point. Takeaway: Sometimes we are too blinded by the outcome that we fail to enjoy the journey. The true win is building winning teams that enjoy working with each other and value each other. Long term success versus quick wins. P.S: This is a weekly post based on personal introspection of my weekly cycling rides. You never know someone amongst you might find it useful. #weekendwisdom #growthmindset #leadership #lifelessons #management #cycling

Always A First Time, Taking a Plunge In 2020, I set a goal to do something significant at 40, but Covid-19 disrupted my plans. Now, approaching 42, I've decided to tackle a new challenge - running 42km at age 42 by signing up for the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. Uncertain about what lies ahead - more running or walking, cramps, or even finishing the race - I know it's time to condition my body and prepare for this inaugural plunge. Besides physical training, I anticipate a mental battle. Will there be more marathons in the future? Time will tell. If you have any marathon training tips to share, I'd love to hear them. #MarathonPreparation

The recent Tour de France has once again showcased the incredible world of cycling. We witnessed the dominance of Tadej Pogačar, the remarkable comeback of Jonas Vingegaard, and the surprising breakthrough of Remco Evenepoel. However, unfortunately, these phenomenal achievements sparked some skepticism in the media about their credibility. Not for me. The sport has evolved significantly, and many outdated notions have been replaced by advanced science and technology. What was once believed about training, nutrition, and recovery has been altered by insights that have pushed the sport to new heights. It was not so long ago we believed the hours before midnight counted double and red meat was good for your performance. It's crucial to recognize that these riders achieve their results through a combination of years of dedication, refined techniques, and ongoing innovation. Their success is not just there but the outcome of a meticulous and scientifically informed approach to their sport and also on making sure the basics are on point (good nutrition, plenty of recovery time, and the right amount of training at the right time) The Tour was a powerful reminder of what is possible with the right blend of hard work and professional expertise. This also offers a valuable lesson for all of us: achieving success and well-being in our own lives requires a thoughtful approach and a willingness to learn and adapt. You would not believe how much we can achieve if we just make sure our basics are on point (move 30 min a day, eat & drink healthy and sleep your needed hours). Vive your health, vive Le Tour! #TourdeFrance #Professionalism #Cycling #Success #Inspiration #Wellbeing
