⭐️ Sydney Marathon 2025 ⭐️

I wanted a goal, I want to challenge myself and for a long time I haven’t been doing that. This year was the year to step outside the comfort zone again and in the end we were able to achieve a life milestone.

From hating running —> couch to 5km —> half marathon—> and eventually finishing a marathon.

It’s been fun documenting this running journey and for those who were invested, thankyou for the kind messages and the support along the way. Hopefully I’ve motivated you to run or even just be a little more active.

We”ll see where running takes me from here!

They warn you how difficult the marathon is. It challenges you mentally and physically, but you really don’t know what it’s like till you experience it first hand.

Unfortunately we fell well short of the sub 4 goal. I thought I was very conservative in the early down hill start and whilst my heart was rate quite low I knew my legs were taking a beating. My pace slowed a sec every km and at 16km I knew the goal was well out of reach. My legs were not feeling good on this tough hilly course. I had to adapt so I tried to slow down but it was still an uphill battle. Physically my legs were starting to break and cramps kicked in at around 18km mark. Got into some real tough spots but we kept showing up. New goal was to just keep running, not stop and make it through to the finish line.

On a positive note Sydney completely showed out! The weather couldn’t get any better. The vibes and crowd were also electric and this help really helped push along.

Whilst it’s not the time I wanted, I’m proud of my efforts. It took much mental fortitude and resilience but I can finally say I’ve completed a marathon.

Redemption complete! (12 minute PB).

C2S Chip time - 64:16.
Strava time - 64:05.

First few kms felt tougher than expected but was able to find a nice rhythm approaching heart break hill. Plan was to start conservatively.

Dropped the speed and relied on effort for heart break hill, keeping a consistent pace.

Not sure if it was the conservative start or the marathon training, but felt great and was able to fly home in the last 3-4km.

Overall very happy with how the race went. Plan was executed and the goal of sub 65 was achieved :)

Onto the big one, Sydney Marathon in 3 weeks.
