My motivation

SLOW MAXXING

Last year, I ran 60K in four days for Movember, representing the 60 men lost to suicide globally every hour.

This year, I’m taking a slightly different approach. I’m slowing things right down. Quite possibly to a crawl.

Twelve weeks ago, I underwent surgery on my foot following a fracture. What followed was a summer of crutches, a rather glamorous medical boot and a crash course in patience (not necessarily my strongest quality!).

But while running was off the cards, movement wasn’t.

I swapped the roads for the swimming pool, the running shoes for the spin bike, and found new ways to keep active while my foot recovered. Not quite the marathon training plan I’d envisaged, but needs must!

And somewhere along the way, I was reminded of something incredibly important: movement isn’t just about physical fitness. It’s about how it makes us feel.

The routine. The headspace. The little wins. The sense of progress, even when progress looks nothing like what we’d originally planned.

Which brings me to this year’s slightly ridiculous challenge…

THE PORTO MARATHON. 42.2K. NO PB. JUST PURPOSE.

Ordinarily, I’d be chasing a time, pushing the pace and looking for my next personal best.

Not this time.

This November, I’ll be approaching the Porto Marathon with a completely different mindset. No racing the clock. No pressure to perform. Just a commitment to move forward, at whatever pace my recovery safely allows.

In fact, there’s every possibility I’ll be so gloriously slow that I won’t even make the official cut-off time.

And you know what? That’s absolutely fine.

If the clock beats me, I’ll simply pick up where I left off the following day and complete the remaining kilometres, provided my foot is happy to cooperate.

Because the goal isn’t to beat the clock. It’s to keep moving.

And perhaps that’s the most important message of all.

SLOW IS STILL MOVING.

This year, I want to celebrate something bigger than speed or distance.

I want to celebrate the power of movement for positive mental health.

The fact that showing up matters. That progress isn’t always linear. That slowing down doesn’t mean standing still.

And that sometimes, simply putting one foot in front of the other is an achievement worth celebrating.

Movember does extraordinary work supporting men’s mental health and suicide prevention, alongside prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

If my slightly unconventional marathon can help raise awareness, start conversations and encourage even one person to find their own way of moving for their mental health, then every slow kilometre will have been worth it.

So here’s to 42.2K, a very different kind of finish line, and moving forward together.

Thank you for supporting me and Movember.
