Sophie’s London Marathon

Hey !!

Soooo I signed up for the 2025 London Marathon as a bit of a joke and now I have a place so here I am thinking about how on earth I am going to run for 26 miles…

Over the past couple of years I have been on a bit of a journey with running, starting as a total beginner and struggling to run for more than 2 minutes without stopping to then managing to run a 5km, followed by a few 10km races and last year I managed (very much struggled through) a half marathon.

The London Marathon is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I feel very lucky to be offered a place so I really want to make the most of it. I feel as though you cannot do the marathon without running for a charity and I wanted my charity to be something that meant something to me.

Everyone who knows me knows that Mayfield School holds such a big place in my heart and I was super excited when I heard they now have a charity to raise money for the school. I know that thinking of them and the money I’ve raised will keep me motivated through the harder miles. So please, if you have anyyyything to spare at all, I would really appreciated your donations for this amazing place! They are currently raising money to build a new sensory room in school which is super exciting.

I am starting this page early to give me some motivation to get started with some training and I will be putting updates on here throughout my journey!

Thank you so much !!
