My First Half Marathon | I Did It For Margot
It has been a few weeks now since I last checked in. On February 27th, I ran the Leicestershire Half Marathon to raise awareness for baby loss. I set myself a few goals with this run, and I managed to complete them all, running the half marathon in under 2 and a half hours!
It has been a few weeks since I last uploaded, and we received our final post mortem results. In this video, I run through how the half marathon went, and the outcome of Margot’s final set of post mortem results.
I will be back to a regular upload count from now, and look forward to continue spreading the word about baby loss, and how we are all still mums and dads.
To any mummy’s watching this today - Happy Mother’s Day!
If anybody else is affected by baby loss and wishes to talk, then please comment below, or reach out to me on:

Stress & Post Mortem Results | Baby Loss Awareness
มุมมอง 962 ปีที่แล้ว
With only one week to my first half marathon, it's not been a good time to get injured. However I am now back running and today I go through an update on how the last few weeks have been for me. I used to not feel anything, however now I feel stressed every minute of every day. Not being able to run has probably not helped this, but this is probably the next stage of grief. I also talk about ou...

I LET STRAVA PLAN MY RUNNING ROUTE...
มุมมอง 612 ปีที่แล้ว
I thought it was time I tried my first ever trail run during my long run this weekend. I decided to put the distance into Strava, and then just run the route it planned and it was...interesting!! I tried not to fall in mud, get lost, or run on busy roads...all of which I failed. I also discuss my 2022 running goals. These are goals to keep me pushing forward, in using running to deal with my gr...
When Running Gets Tough... - Stillborn Dad

Hill Running Troubles - Stillborn Dad
มุมมอง 362 ปีที่แล้ว
Hills are my enemy, but I have to tackle them for training for my first marathon. This week I went on one of my longer runs of this marathon training so far, which was 10.5 miles. However, I accidentally chose a slightly hillier route, and for a heavier runner, I paid the price! 8 weeks ago I couldn't even complete couch to 5k though, so I'm still pleased! I go on a long run talking ramble, and...
My First Park Run! - Stillborn Dad
มุมมอง 542 ปีที่แล้ว
Happy New Year! Time for my First Park Run! I then had an extra 5k to complete at a slower pace, so took out the camera and discussed 2021, mindset for 2022, and how the last year was. The injuries are now healing up, and feel a lot better to run. Has anybody got anything that they are looking to achieve in 2022? A running goal? A marathon? Maybe something completely unrelated - comment below! ...
