Official training for the 2027 Brighton Marathon has started!

Running 2026 was an incredible experience, but beyond race day itself, what really stayed with me were the massive physical and mental health benefits of the training process.

Over the last few years, I’ve taken on a few big challenges. There’s usually a lot of noise, hype, and build-up around a goal like this, which led me to ask myself: Can I take on a challenge of this scale without all the extra hype? Can I just embrace the consistency?

It reminded me of a fantastic wellness and estate agency coach I’ve had the privilege of working with, Rob Brady. Rob often talks about the simple power of "Just Turning Up."

So that’s the challenge this time around. Over the next 26 weeks, the plan involves running around 850 miles over 120+ hours. My job is simple: just turn up, do the work, and put one foot in front of the other.

Along the way, I’m proud to be raising money for ESTEEM, an incredible local charity dedicated to empowering and supporting young adults. Having done some mentoring work with them recently, I’ve seen firsthand the life-changing impact they have and how vital every bit of funding is for their work.

If you’re able to support with a donation, no matter how small it would mean the world to both me and the team at ESTEEM.

Thank you so much for your support, and I’ll keep you updated on the journey! 🏃‍♂️💨
