I Almost Quit My Marathon Dream again... | My Longest Run Yet (32km Attempt)

This was the big one. 32km on the cards, running through Cramlington, Blyth, and down to Whitley Bay. Everything felt solid until the 20km mark, but then reality hit. In this video, I take you along for the journey with updates every 5km. You’ll see the exact moment the wheels started to come off at 25km, the struggle with "Jeffing," and the mental toll of calling it quits at 29km. I was gutted, defeated, and ready to hang up the trainers for good. But after some rest and reflection, I’ve realised that a setback isn’t a full stop. I’m still going for the marathon, but the strategy has to change.
