Tom to run the Rob Burrows Leeds Mara for Andys Mans Club

In October, I decided to run the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon on May 11th 2025 to set myself a goal that initially felt unachievable. Since then, I have been training and my progress has become somewhat obsessive.

I entered the marathon for personal reasons, primarily to refocus on my fitness. Having spent a lifetime playing sports, I found that with age and lifestyle I needed a new challenge to reignite my drive and this marathon has done just that already.

Another significant decision was choosing a charity to support. I selected Andy’s Man Club which is a cause I have always admired. Through work I have attended various talks about their mission which has played a big part in my choice.
