- Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to my channel.
If you have been following me for a while then you'll know I signed up to run the London Marathon 2020 in May 2019. I found out I got a place with Diabetes UK in June 2019, trained until March 2020, where Covid-19 pandemic cancelled the marathon and postponed it until October 2020. They then decided a virtual marathon was best in October 2020, to which I completed.
It was then confirmed that London Marathon 2021 would be back as usual, bigger and better than ever! So I got out training again and now today, after a 2.5 year wait, the video is HERE!
I ran the London Marathon 2021 for Diabetes UK. It was the most incredible and hardest thing I've ever done but I wouldn't change it for the world. Enjoy watching my journey and I have a playlist on my channel for all my training videos and a video from the virtual London Marathon 2020.
Thank you for all of those who supported me, it means more than the world🏃♀️💙
Lomas out xx
Well done alysha once again I'm in floods of tears watching this! Xx
Thank you!!! Xx
So so proud of you. Inspired me to run it next year 👊🏽
Wow, well done Alysha 👏 (The marathon and the video 🤩) Congrats 🥇What a journey you had! Thanks for taking us with you the whole way 👍 Greets from Germany, Jo
Thank you so much Jo! It really has been a journey and I wanted to show the full thing as I’m really not a runner and all the videos I see are of people running amazingly so I want to show you can do it if you’re just an average person for sure. So proud I did it thank you👏🏼🎉🏅 x
@@lyshalomas Yeah Alysha, you captured that really well and you can be so proud of yourself 👏💛
Enjoying you video. I was signed up to run 2020 as well. Now running in October 2022. Waiting this long is hard. I have never shed tears after a race but may after London. Thanks for sharing.
I know your pain, it feels like the hardest goal when it’s so far away but yes the minute you see that finish line you will shed a tear I know I did it’s very emotional especially after a 2 years wait! Enjoy this year I hope it is an amazing day…!
Just watched your video I kept welling up. Its been my dream since I was 14 years old and in 5 weeks I get to do it. I too started training in 2019 had to run it virtual in 2020 with four other friends whom also have got in.
We deferred our places to 2022.
I felt all your emotions during that run especially as I ran 22 miles last week, I got 1 more 20 do in two weeks time, I'm running cheltenham half this Sunday.
Well done to you going from barely been able run 2k to runnning a marathon is inspiring you done yourself proud superb and keep up the runnning x 😊👏👏👏
Thank you!! Aww that’s amazing to hear hope you have the best day it will feel so amazing once you do it! The training runs are so hard aren’t they but the goal is so worth it.
I would love to do the London marathon again one year I just need to find the energy to train again haha! Good luck this year I’ll cheer you on from home! X
Congratulations. 🥳🥳🥳
Huge congrats!! Lol the bag was SO HEAVY wasn’t it 🤣.
The London Marathon was so emotional. The absolute best day of my life - waiting 2.5 years to run my second marathon was such a long time but so happy to have done it. Love how smiley you are in all the pics, I looked like death!
Omg wasn’t it just so heavy I didn’t realise how much hahah 🤣🤣 it was an amazing day wasn’t it! Oh god the pics towards the end are definitely not smiley looool but I tried very hard to haha! Congratulations to you too for completing it!
Enjoyed watching this! I just started to get back into running, so missed all this covid weirdness about mass events. Cool that you finally made it!
Thank you it was such an amazing opportunity that’s for sure even with covid in the middle of it!! Hoping to do another marathon in my lifetime just have to get back into it!
I loved watching this and really well done Alysha! I got quite emotional towards the end! I’m doing (hopefully!) my first ever marathon May 2023. Your vlog has made me want to do London too! 😊
Thanks so much I’m so glad you enjoyed! It really was an amazing experience especially waiting nearly 3 years to run!! I’d definitely recommend doing London it’s amazing! Good luck in yours next year you’ll smash it 😊

Congratulations! you are awesome! Running my first marathon next year in March! wish me luck!
Thank you it is such an experience but you really have to put the work in! Amazing good luck hope it goes well for you enjoy it!
@@lyshalomas I know what you mean, I had to run 29 km last weekend and I had not been running the way I should and I really suffered the last 5 km... I will commit! Thanks for the tip!
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 off to enter the ballot I go!
Really well done 👏!! Your exactly right you can now say you've done it 👍. It was hard wasn't it but we got it done. 😉. I had finished just about half an hour before that storm I was honestly so glad 🤣.
Now you can look back at that medal and see it as a huge milestone event in your life 🙌.
How bad were the cups for the lucozade 🤣. Running and it was splashing all over my face 🤣
Well done to you too! It is an amazing achievement! Oh I’m so jealous I wish I’d have started earlier so I’d have missed it god we were hiding behind trees it was horrible…
The lucozade cup lol I think I only took 1 as I gave up it was so sticky haha! Such a good day you’re right we’ll remember it forever and hopefully I can do a nothing one in a couple of years!
Your video has just *popped up*, TH-cam knows I love to watch first marathons!
A great achievement, congratulations.
A big responsibility running with a charity bib, I think that would cause me too much anxiety... finding sponsors etc
I'm fortunate (good genetics... and some very *unscientific* running about 🏃) has given me a good *Good For Age* time - I'm in the VM65-69 *old blokes* catergory.
I also ran my first London Marathon in 2021, yes 18 months *late*... I have never had a burning desire to run it, thought I would, but I was *disappointed* with my whole weekend - my fault, not the marathons!
I've entered NEXT April's event! I've already booked hotel. I will be focussed! Have 1 goal and stick to it!
Happy running!
Haha thank you! Yes raising the money was stressful at points but I knew I needed a reason to run a marathon and knowing I was doing it for a cause and for my family really helped! Oh amazing that’s brilliants good luck hope all goes well. I’d love to do another London marathon maybe in a few years!
Congrats, you've done what only 0.5% of the population has achieved, be proud!
Hahah thank you! It does feel weird to be part of that stay crazy!!
Very very good job be proud of you.. iam diabetic type1 and i run run my first half marathon in october 2021 now iam training myself for a full Marathon in 2022 thank you to support diabetics
Thank you so much! You’ll smash it good luck for next year, I loved raising money for Diabetes and can’t wait to continue raising money for them next year too! X
Will you run another marathon next year? I will try to send my name to joint a running or cycling diabetics team in my country (in Canada) that a good idea thank you so so much did you have someone diabetic in your family? Me, my son and my sister are diabetic we are 3 in the same family 😁
@@juliepaquette6027 I want to run another one for diabetes but I might leave it a few years and have time off training! Yes my sister and Nan have type 1 so I do it for them! Amazing that sounds great it’s been really nice to meet other diabetics/a team who is raising money for the same cause it’s brilliant x
@@lyshalomas i will let you know if i went in UK to run a marathon hope to meet you see you
Excellent! A superb effort:)

Hello!!!.
Congrats & you did great. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I ran 2021 virtually and now luckily got in via Ballot 2022. And I'm planning to go of course 😊
I heard you say you're getting into ballot and can defer?. At that point can you defer if you need to?.
I paid already and now hoping to sort out the visa and all of that stuff
weldone sweet!!
Like your video I did vitality marathon in oct 3 21 it's a mazing I enter London marathon 2022
Hey can you tell me pls how can I run next year London marathon if I am from different country
Are you ready for xmas done xmas shopping 🎄🎄🎄❄️☃️🎿🌲⛄️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Half-marathons and Park Runs won't cut it believe you me. If you do that, you will quit running eventually. Now you've done a marathon you need to aim higher, not lower. Go for a faster time or do a 50k. It's hard to stay motivated after your first marathon if you don't aim for something bigger or better next time.
It took me 6 hours 24 mins it's great feelling
Well done I did it 4.43 and my legs still hurt and I still have a cold
That’s amazing well done to you too!! I’m hoping for a sub 5 hours next time 🤞🏼oh no I hope you recover soon I feel pretty much recovered I think!
