One week to go… 😳🏃‍♂️ Somewhere between “I’ve got this 💪” and “why did I sign up for this again?!” Legs are questioning everything 🦵 Emotions? All over the place 😂 But we’re ready. (I think.) Next stop: 26.2 miles and a medal 🏅🔥 #LondonMarathon #TeamMRF #Running

10 days to go until the London Marathon. There were plenty of moments I wanted to quit… early mornings, cold and wet runs, tired legs, injures. But I kept showing up. Not fast. Not perfect. Just consistent. Never give up.

12 sleeps until London Marathon 2026. Let's Go!

Wave 14, Red Start, 11:05… lovely stuff. By the time I set off, the elites will have finished, had a shower, a roast dinner and probably a nap 😅 On the plus side, I’ll be fully warmed up from queuing for 3 hours and overthinking my life choices. #LondonMarathon #TeamMRF

5km this morning. Nothing special on paper… but everything to me. First pain-free run since January. 3 runs in 5 days. (31k) This wasn’t about pace (although I’ll take 7:01/km 👀), it was about getting out there, staying steady, and finishing feeling strong. A few weeks ago, even this would’ve felt a long way off. Now the start line is coming into view… and I’ll be there. One step, one run, one week at a time. 💙 #LondonMarathon #RunningJourney #TeamMRF #MarathonTraining

Conspiracy theorists can get away with a lot now regarding Covid because it is at this point a mild infection for most people But do not mess with meningitis It can be rapidly fatal. Anyone who has seen it won't ever forget it.

Juliette Kenny lost her life to meningitis. She died in the Kent outbreak. Amid their devastating loss, Juliette’s family have released a statement with us. Read it now: meningitis.org/news-and-blogs… #Meningitis #MeningitisAwareness #DefeatMeningitis

We know people are looking for clear and reliable information on meningitis. Our team at Meningitis Research Foundation has published a new blog, “How does meningitis spread?”, which answers frequently asked questions. Read it now: meningitis.org/news-and-blogs… #DefeatMeningitis

Seeing the meningitis outbreak in Kent is a reminder why research and awareness still matter. I’m running the 2026 London Marathon for the Meningitis Research Foundation in memory of my sister, who died from meningitis as a baby. If you can, please support: justgiving.com/page/paul-dinh… 💜

Bath Half Marathon ✅ @bathhalf At one point I genuinely considered becoming a cyclist 🚴‍♂️ Less than 6 weeks until the London Marathon and I’m starting to suspect… a marathon might be quite far 😅 Physio done this morning, IT band is slowly improving, so we keep going 💪 #TeamMRF #BathHalf #MarathonTraining #LondonMarathon

🏃‍♂️ Bath Half Marathon ✔️ DONE! 21.35 km completed at the @bathhalf today and I’m absolutely buzzing to get this one in the legs! ⏱ Time: 2h 24m ⚡ Pace: 6:47/km Another big step on the road to the @LondonMarathon 2026 #BathHalf #MarathonTraining #LondonMarathon2026 #TeamMRF

69 days until the marathon… and my IT band has decided it wants its own training plan. 🙃 But today? 5K in the bank. ✅ It wasn’t quick. It wasn’t pretty. There was a lot of “don’t you dare tighten up now” self-talk going on. But it’s another step closer to that start line in London. 🏃‍♂️

16.83km done. ⏱️ 2h 4m. 🐌 7:24/km. One sore knee. Not fast. Not pretty. But very real marathon training for London 2026 💪 Physio booked for Wednesday.

Me: “I’ll just do a quick run” The cycle path: ankle-deep floodwater Me: 🧍‍♂️🌊 “Well… we’re committed now” Marathon training: long runs, discipline, grit

Morning sparks flying!

Remember: pizza starts as flour. Transformation is real. #MondayMotivation

90 days left. Every time I run, my legs whisper, “We were not consulted.”

Good morning—be extraordinary.
