It honestly means the world to have this support from those I work with at This Morning. From my heatstroke collapse at the London Marathon in 2021 to running all six marathon majors last year, This Morning has been there for my lowest moment to the highest of highs! @benshephard https://t.co/PAPauYSllL

You’ve just conquered 26.2 miles. You feel like a warrior, a legend… a marathon MACHINE. Then the race photos drop. We train for months to run, not to model — and it shows. But hey, behind every awkward mid-stride pic is a story of grit, glory, and pure determination. https://t.co/PZEYONim3t

I’m obsessed with my official London Marathon photos 🥰 They captured the joy, the grit, and the moment I crossed the finish line with a PB I genuinely loved every mile of that course - the energy, the crowds, the landmarks & these photos bring it all rushing back https://t.co/s3P0HREgjJ

“Why do you always look so happy in your Marathon photos?” Because I am. Because after months of training, every cheer, every high-five, every step running through London with thousands of strangers is pure joy. Because no matter how tired my legs are - my heart is flying. https://t.co/2IkBC80GV2

Upgraded my London Marathon bling because twice just wasn’t enough 🤣 There’s something about that course, that crowd, that finish line on The Mall… it pulls you back in. One medal becomes two. Two becomes three One race becomes a tradition. And the story keeps getting better https://t.co/Q1B4Uslzrf

The Grand East Anglia run has always had a way of bringing out something special but I honestly didn’t think it would be possible to beat my 2019 PB. Yet somehow I ran a surprise PB of 43:24. This race is one of my absolute favourites. If you’ve never run it before, you should https://t.co/meP2GPlGBf

Absolutely stunned 😮 Somehow pulled out a 10K PB of 43:24 at the Grand East Anglia Run - just ONE week after the London Marathon. Didn’t expect much with marathon legs still in recovery mode… but the crowd, the course, and maybe a bit of muscle memory had other plans. https://t.co/h3SsxV9pe1

Grand East Anglia Run 2025? Completed it mate ✅ I’m in shock! A week after running a PB at the London Marathon, I lined up at the Grand East Anglia Run with no expectations and a goal to enjoy the atmosphere, but somehow I crossed the finish line with an unexpected PB: 43:24! https://t.co/hLkAIg1gby

One week on from the London Marathon, and it’s time to lace up again for one of my favourites: the Grand East Anglia Run! Last year I clocked 45:59, and I’d love to dig deep and see if I can sneak under 45 minutes this time. https://t.co/U7pcO5Tsju

Shoutout to Steph - one of my favourite runfluencers and now, apparently, a psychic. Out of all the guesses for my London Marathon finish time, she was the closest. Like… scary close. Forget pacing charts and race predictors - next time I’m just asking Steph. https://t.co/NCPr1slU2W

That final step over the finish line on The Mall 🥰 Months of early mornings, long runs, sore legs, self-doubt, and grit - all leading to this. It’s more than a race - it’s a celebration of every mile you’ve run to get here. 26.2 miles of heart. 1 unforgettable finish https://t.co/uFpyh8Ttn3

Back in early January, I posted about dragging myself out for a cold, dark Friday night run after a long day. I didn’t want to do it. My legs were tired, my mood was flat, but I hoped that this run would lead to future David doing something special. And… it did! https://t.co/CAk8OxMHXX

Runner question: How long does it take you to poop mid-race? I ducked into a portaloo at mile 15 during the London Marathon, I was two minutes, tops. Apparently, that’s “too long”? So I’m asking the experts: What’s your average pit stop pace when nature calls on race day? https://t.co/pNWhhexdQ5

Here I am last Friday, on London Bridge, having just collected my race bib with a view of Tower Bridge behind me, not knowing that I was about to smash my overall marathon PB by 90 seconds, set a new London best by four and a half minutes & have one of the proudest races ever… https://t.co/EA6p5P11o0

There it was. My name. On the Six Star Wall of Fame. After running all six World Marathon Majors in 2024 - Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York - this moment was everything I’d hoped it’d be. https://t.co/20Lqr6ODPt

That’s how the story goes: Verrazzano to Tower Bridge. NYC to London. Two cities. Two bridges. Two races I’ll never forget. Both my fastest marathons. Both bursting with emotion, pride, and something I wish I could bottle up and live in forever. https://t.co/COyaAKgvyP

After running all six World Marathon Majors in 2024 - Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York - this moment hit hard. I stood there, found my name, and felt the weight of every mile, every early morning, every finish line. A year I’ll never forget. @WMMajors https://t.co/DZavNGpQi5
