Wow, hello. This is a very present moment podcast because it's exactly what I'm going through at the moment and how I'm feeling and everything. But basically two days ago, I did the London Marathon. And I've been preparing for it, not long, like compared to other runners, not long, but it felt like I put lots of energy into it and training, which I did.

But, like, nothing could have prepared me for Sunday.

And also the aftermath.

So let's firstly talk about the aftermath, and then let's go into the marathon. So let's firstly talk about the aftermath and then let's go into the marathon.

So I genuinely felt like I was hit by a lorry. Like I, everything in my body is completely,

it's not just doms. You've got bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Everything's hurting. Everything's hurting.

And then there's that also emotional aspect of just feeling so emotionally drained.

Today I woke up quite anxious, I would say. Also because I thought I'd feel a lot better I thought oh day too like I'm going to

feel pretty much all good like I'm going to be ready to be able to walk outside like I literally

wasn't able to walk outside yesterday and things hurt even more think different things hurt that I didn't

know were hurting.

Anyways, let's actually talk about the marathon and what it taught me, how it actually went,

going really into some detail.

So about a week before the marathon, I actually, like, injured my ankle because I tried on new trainers, which wasn't very

clever of me. Well, they weren't new. I already had worn them before, but I hadn't worn them for months.

And I hurt my ankle, so I had to have physi appointments, and it was recovering. So that was like a

little bit of a scare for the marathon. I thought, oh gosh, am I even going to be able to do it? Then, as I saw a

clearer road to recovery, I realized, okay, I can do this. And like the day before in the morning

of it, I was so excited. I had so much adrenaline. I just felt good. And as we started, things were feeling really good.

I was feeling fast. And I had read so many places that you really should pace yourself because

you don't want to just run with the adrenaline and then hit a wall at like 20 kilometers or whatever so I thought I was

pacing myself but then at the same time I kind of was running with it and it was so amazing there
