Running a ‘secret’ marathon

I’ve run 2 of my 3 marathons on my own completely with no one that had gone there to support me but Brighton Marathon 2022 was my ‘secret’ marathon

By ‘secret’ I mean that I didn’t share on social media that I was training for or doing this marathon. I didn’t even tell my family until the day before the race ( which they guessed because they knew I was going to Brighton and the realised they marathon was on the weekend).

I wanted to make sure that I enjoyed running and more importantly marathon running for the right reasons- for myself. It was hard doing it by myself for myself but it was also brilliant!

Brighton Marathon was a hard marathon for me but it showed me that I love marathon running and I can definitely do it on my own! Although that’s not to say that support adds a whole of a lot!
