A month and a bit ago I joined the TCS London Marathon 2022 on a whim, fundraising for Hope for Children. Even though I’ve been an amateur runner for a while, this still proved one of the toughest physical and mental challenges of my life!
I trained for a month using the Nike Run Club marathon training plan (it’s free on the app).
Hope this motivates someone take on a challenge, be it for fitness, mental wellbeing, self-development, or all three combined.
Thank you for supporting me through my journey & thank you to the special people in my life who cheered me on the day ❤️

Great video. I am running 24 to avenge a bad run in 22! Well done, unless you’ve hit that wall you can’t comprehend how hard those 12ks were and by finishing you have to remember a few things; firstly, you have the strength of character to see yourself out of the really dark places and secondly that your 26.2 miles was exactly the same distance as the people who ran it in 2hrs! Well done again. I am logging all of my training upto next April and documenting it here if you are interested!

That’s awesome! I’ve run a lot of races, some random short 5Ks, and some eventful half marathons. This makes me want to run a marathon one day! Also I’ve had the same issue with those gel blocks, they make me sick almost immediately while running, but are fine hiking.

@coldbrewitch8290 Год назад

Thanks ☺ And this is your sign to do a marathon next 👀

@twold4this Год назад

Stubborn! Determined! Steady! That last 12k proved it... I see a nascent ultra runner. Well done 🏃‍♂️👍

@coldbrewitch8290 Год назад

Thank you! Maybe one day 👀

congratulation on completing the marathon and i am sorry that you didn't feel well. it's quite funny when i ran it this year too between Miles 17-19 i felt awful but the runner in us makes us not want to give up and compete the mission we are on.

@coldbrewitch8290 Год назад

I swear those mile marks are cursed! Up till then you feel like you never want it to end and then after it feels like doom 🥲

@BradleySingerRuns Год назад

@@coldbrewitch8290 I agree I felt like they were getting further and further away 😂

@andreafletcher6046 Год назад

Well done 👏

@coldbrewitch8290 Год назад

Thank you 😁

@mrk2450 Год назад

Well done Alexandria. Awesome you didn't give up when all of your body was telling you to do so. You collected yourself and pushed on, even managing to jog in to the finish. Totally awesome 💪 Running a marathon is a very very hard thing to put the body through. You can now put yourself in a very exclusive club of which is roughly 0.01 percent of the world's population who have achieved this

@coldbrewitch8290 Год назад

Thank you sm! ☺️ Never thought about it in that way but now you’ve definitely boosted my ego a bit 😆

@consciousrunning Год назад

Congrats for finishing 👏, the only difference is made by less prepared marathon runner is that at finish line you will have mixed filling, body pain makes you little less content. But this all worth it after 4 day recovery.

@rajeshsn6499 Год назад

Sorry to hear that you got sick. Congrats on finishing. Kill it next year 🎉 Thanks for the videos

@coldbrewitch8290 Год назад

Thank you ☺ it’s okay, it only made me want to do it better next time

@celinec3107 Год назад

You are a runner no sorry a marathon runner.. be so proud of what you achieved 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you 🥰🏃‍♀

These kinds of videos are inspirational. Best thing to do if it happens again, is not drink the water but swash it around in your mouth and then spit it out, everytime you feel thirsty if you have a stitch. You can also do this with your gels.

@jameshickey100 Год назад

It would be a dream to do a London marathon

@PoetWithPace Год назад

Very well done Alexandra and after only one month training! What next for you?

@coldbrewitch8290 Год назад

Doing a 10k plan now to improve my speed, but I’d love to do a marathon again!

@PoetWithPace Год назад

@@coldbrewitch8290 superb! I'm doing a 10k training plan also with race in December. Enjoy the training!

@rogeliomj Год назад

This is not recommended to do... it could be really dangerous for some people causing rhabdomyolysis (muscles totally destroyed that they go into your bloodstream), kidney failure and even sudden death by heart failure. DO NOT ENCOURAGE runners to do this.

Hey - We'd love to use this as part of a montage on the BBC for the this year's TV coverage of the London Marathon. whats the best way to get in touch please? thanks. Phil Hughes

@coldbrewitch8290 2 месяца назад

Hi Phil! Think I might’ve found and added you on LinkedIn, it’s Alexandra ☺ Please message me on there

@JStock1032 Год назад

Videos with titles such as these should be banned.

@MsMartakaminska Год назад

Not really, because there is a lesson in hers.

@rogeliomj Год назад

@@MsMartakaminska No lesson. It's just plain dangerous to try to run a marathon without training, ask any relatively serious runner, running coach or a Dr.
