Royal Parks Half 2025

I’m Nye and I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for the DofE charity in October

I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to support the DofE charity.  The money I raise will go directly to help transform the lives of young people facing poverty and marginalisation by providing them with the opportunity to take part in the life changing Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme, who might otherwise not have been able to participate.  

DofE was one of my most memorable experiences growing up and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss it during their school years. 

Please support me by donating what you can to my fundraising page.

My Updates

Taper week

Wednesday 8th Oct
With the Royal Parks Half this coming Sunday, it's safe to say that I'll be ready on the day, thanks to my training and most importantly to those who donated in the run up to the event. With one more run tomorrow, I will be resting and eating (a shit ton) for the remainder of the week in order to prep for the 9am start on Sunday. My target is sub 1:40 as I don't think I can hold my PB pace for 21k with my ongoing knee injury. But who knows what could happen on the day?

Knee update

Friday 12th Sep
In February I injured my knee on a light 6k run and as much as I was in agony I didn't think too much of it. Since then I've ran the Barcelona Marathon and the Bristol Half. Fast forward to September 10th after having an MRI scan in May, I've discovered that I have torn my medial meniscus! I will still be running the Royal Parks half as usual but training up to race day may be more hit and miss as I don't want to push the knee to its limits just yet...

Return to UK

Tuesday 2nd Sep
I got back from the US at 6am yesterday and have already managed to shrug off the jet lag. Training officially resumes tomorrow (maybe tonight) ahead of the half in October. Got a lot of work to be done, no complaints.

Training

Tuesday 8th Jul
Currently training out in PA, USA while I work as a camp counsellor and rock climbing instructor. I wake up every morning at 7am and either run or strength train as I don’t have time during the day. May the work continue 📈
