I know, I know, I've just run one marathon, and now I'm doing another. But just wait!

Running the London marathon last year was one of the best days of my life. At a time where it feels like everyone is doing some very big and wonderful things like getting married and having children, it felt really important to me to do something meaningful for myself. The hours of training in the rain, cold and snow, the injuries, blisters, tears, exhaustion it created were a challenge. But one I overcame. And there was a huge pleasure and confidence gained in doing so.

The training taught me so much. About dedication, resilience, moving through trauma and emotion, regulation, motivation, persistence, getting it done. I couldn't have been prouder to do the hardest thing I've ever done in my home city, surrounded with so many loved ones cheering me on. It meant the world and I am so grateful for the opportunity.

12 months on, and I'm learning new lessons in this block. There's a stronger body, better fuelling, more sleep, and the knowledge I did it once and can do it again, but this time doing it without a training buddy.

London was too hot to get the time I desperately wanted, so I made the right decision to slow down in order to finish safely. This year I want to get my sub 4 hour goal, build my strength, explore a new route, and learn new lessons about the endurance of long distance running.

The good news is that I'm fundraising again, for a fantastic charity, with a brilliant cause.

Established in 1994, Safeline is a specialist charity that works to prevent sexual abuse and support those affected to cope and recover.

Their vision is that everyone affected by or at risk of sexual abuse should feel supported and empowered.

They empower survivors to make choices about the lives they want.

Safeline do some incredible work - with children as young as three. Let that sink in.

They help provide services to prevent abuse, and support to children and young people at risk. That includes counselling and therapeutic support, education and training, face-to-face, telephone and online support.

In the last few weeks we have heard a lot in the media about abuse, power, men and women in elite parts of society treating people in the most appalling ways imaginable. I will continue to try and hold government to account for their failings, and push them to do better for the children and women of the future. Whether that is Epstein victims or grooming gangs or victims of any type. You may be thinking what you can do to help. I was too. That's why I'm fundraising for Safeline.

And my lovely friend's mum works there too.
