Glenn’s Training Update: 15K Done & Aiming for 20K!

Glenn’s Training Update: Week 6

This week, Glenn’s training hit another milestone on his journey to the Bath Marathon—completing a 15K run! Even better, his hamstring injury has fully healed, allowing him to complete the run without any setbacks.

In an interesting twist, Glenn left the music and technology behind, choosing to run without tracking his time. Instead, he focused on the rhythm of his breath, the sounds of nature, and greeting fellow runners.

Navigating the Highs, Lows & Everyday Challenges

Although Glenn’s physical progress has been strong, he shared that this week has been a tough one mentally. But training for a marathon isn’t just about the miles—it’s also about managing the emotional ups and downs, balancing the day-to-day demands of life, and, in Glenn’s case, dealing with the additional challenges of living with chronic pain.

We deeply appreciate Glenn’s honesty in sharing the full picture of his training experience—not just the victories, but also the struggles.

Next Challenge: 20K!

Glenn’s next goal is to complete a 20K run, which means running approximately seven laps of his training route. It’s another big step toward race day in March, and we’ll be cheering him on every step of the way!
