One week to go! This time next Sunday I’ll be on the #LondonMarathon course—with less than 26.2 miles to go. Final mid-length run (9 miles) done this morning up and down Windsor’s Long Walk. Trainers broken in, kit tested, people even cheered my name—good prep!

Andy Lewis @andylewis-re.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

The last long run is done. 23 miles—my furthest ever. That’s just a parkrun shy of a marathon. Sitting on the train to Southend (32 mins!) made me realise just how far that actually is…

Dear #TeamRE, Dawn’s partner has shared a heartbreaking update. After a car accident just over a week ago, she suffered terrible injuries. I know so many in the RE community and wider education community will be upset by the news. Dawn was always so generous in all that she did. Rest in peace

Andy Lewis @andylewis-re.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

So many in #TeamRE and the wider #edutwitter community have been shocked to hear about Dawn’s accident. A fund has been created to support her and her family at this time. It might be something you consider giving to or sharing. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

January Miles & Marathon Training Update 107.38 miles in the bag for January as marathon training ramps up. Unfortunately, the “12 weeks to go” mark hit me with a bug instead of the planned 12-mile run, so I spent the weekend in bed instead of on the roads.
