Couch to London Marathon

Hi everyone. I started couch to 5k a number of years ago and it has completely changed my life. I literally no longer have the same name anymore. I went from obese alcoholic male sectioned with depression to free running female and haven't had alcohol for over 2 years. It has been a long journey. This Sunday I am running the London Marathon for the LGBT foundation. Follow me on the app if you fancy, number 2753.

I just want to say, if you are embarking on C25k it is AWESOME!!

I will leave more info in my bio, I also write a blog and if anyone fancies donating then that would be great. Read over some of my earlier messages from when I started if you fancy.

Keep running!!!

Sofie x

Hi sofie, I've only just read your bio & a snippet of your blog but I shall be reading more when I'm not at work!

I'm sorry that you've been to some dark places in the past, there had been a too much ignorance for too long. I know there is a long way to go but my two teenage kids are living proof that the change needed is definitely a coming!

You have fought one helluva fight to be where you are today.

I hope that sofie, throughly enjoys her first marathon and is very proud of her achievements.... No looking back now 😉 Have a great one! 🍀 🍀 🍀

I think I’ll watch the London Marathon for the first time this year (usually it makes me feel lazy but think now it’s an inspiration). I read some of your old posts including the Manchester Half Marathon post. Its great to hear how you approached the run. What an inspiring journey. Good luck for tomorrow!!
