Running Strength Training - session 1

I think this is probably been one of the most vulnerable things I’ve posted but its good to grow.

I broke my collarbone in 2 places in 2023 and put on a lot of weight (3 stone). Although I ran two marathons in April 2025 it was a struggle as I neglected my strength and mobility training as wanted to focus on running.

As I run Brighton and London Marathons for @refugecharity 2 weeks apart in April this year I’m going to improve this significantly by doing all the training and losing some weight.

If you’d like to donate then please head to https://danconn.dev or https://www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 or the links in my bio. Equally if you can follow and share for support that’s ace too. Week 1 here we go! 12 and 14 weeks to go!
