Ainslie & Shadia take on London Marathon

Shadia and I first met on a ‘fun run’ over 20 years ago running from Lelant to St. Ives and bonded over our matching trainers. We then went on to become firm best friends. So... it only feels fitting to take on, what will be the hardest (potentially least fun) run of our lives together! We have gone from sharing bottles of wine to sharing energy gels and knee strengthening tips.⁠
⁠
Before signing up, I can speak for both of us when I say, we were not runners. We both wanted to take on the challenge to prove to ourselves we can do tough things and raise money for charities that are really close to our hearts. The training has been incredibly tough, long runs spent questioning our life choices and tears have been shed. ⁠
⁠
Shadia will be running for samaritans and I will be running for Alzheimers research. We are so grateful to every single person that has already donated, it really does help us through the pain! ⁠
