Ella’s Journey – Less Than 2 Weeks To Go

Posted by Ella Jacques on 22 September 2021

The London Marathon is less than two weeks away and I cannot believe how fast it has come around! The butterflies have begun that’s for sure, but I guess being nervous shows how much I care about this. I have given training my all, it has already been the biggest challenge of my life, but I don’t think I could have done any more so I’m feeling ready! I’m very excited to learn of the difference my fundraising has made, that has kept me going and will hopefully get me all the way to the finish line.

Having only got a place 10 weeks ago, I’m pretty proud of myself. If you had asked me a few months ago if you think I would have completed 20 miles just over 2 months later, I would have laughed. I have enjoyed seeing my fitness improve that’s for sure (and the guilt free carbs!), I am just sorry to my poor knees. I underestimated the pain I would be in 2 weeks out, but it’s now time to rest up ready for the big day!
