I will be taking part in 5 half marathon events across Asia before the full marathon challenge...

Preparation is key for conquering the 4in4in4, so I am climatising to longer runs with a number of half marathons leading up to the first full marathon.

I head to Krabi On Sunday, September 7th for the Scenic Half Marathon. As part of my journey to complete four marathons in four countries, I’ve chosen the beautiful landscape of Krabi to build my endurance and enjoy some of Thailand’s most stunning scenery.  

Krabi’s scenic marathon route offers breathtaking views of limestone cliffs, lush forests, and tranquil waters — a perfect backdrop for training and running towards a new personal best. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting your journey, this event provides an inspiring setting to push your limits and embrace the challenge.  

Next stop on my journey is the beautiful Hanoi Half Marathon, taking place on Sunday, October 5th in Vietnam. Hanoi’s vibrant streets and stunning architecture provide the perfect setting for focused training and pushing myself further.  

This iconic race offers a unique blend of culture and scenery, with winding city streets, historic sites, and lively energy — all inspiring me to give my best on race day. 

Before I take on the full marathons, I’ll be participating in my final competitive training run at the Chiang Mai Bitcoin Half Marathon on Sunday, November 2nd. This scenic race through northern Thailand’s mountains and countryside will serve as an excellent prep and a way to gauge my fitness levels before the big challenge ahead.  

With less than a month to go until my first full marathon in China on November 30th, this event is a crucial step in fine-tuning my endurance and mental toughness. It’s a great opportunity to test pacing, fuel strategies, and build confidence as I continue my journey across four countries in four weeks.  

Thanks to Chiang Mai’s stunning scenery and energetic race atmosphere, this half marathon promises to be a motivating and vital part of my training — bringing me closer to the ultimate goal.
