London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mental Health UK

On 12 April 2026, I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mental Health UK!

This will be my third half marathon, and I am aiming to hit a new PB. My current best is 1:35 (4:30/km), and I’m aiming for a sub‑1:30 finish (4:16/km). It’s a big challenge, but running has become an integral part of how I prioritise my wellbeing, particularly when balancing the demands of working in the legal industry alongside studying for a law degree.

The legal industry can be intense, and I’ve learned first-hand the importance of prioritising your mental wellbeing. For me, this means staying active - whether that's boxing, running, lifting or Hyrox training. 

That’s why I’m running for Mental Health UK. They provide vital support to people and families affected by mental health challenges, and they work to ensure mental health is treated with the same seriousness as physical health. Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps them continue their work and brings us closer to a world where no one has to struggle alone.
