4. I ran the London Marathon!
It’s long been an ambition of mine to run the London Marathon, but
business pressures have always competed with my personal goals. My
2007 New Years’ resolution was to achieve my aim, but I had huge
concerns about my level of fitness and just what sort of time I should
be looking to achieve as a Marathon novice.
I was introduced by a colleague to CPX testing. The simple
exercise test immediately confirmed that I would be capable of completing
the course, and the CPX team were able to work out the rate at which
I could sustain my running.
After embarking on my training, I returned for subsequent testing to
measure my progress and re-calibrate my exercise rate to achieve the
optimum time.
In June 2007 I completed the London Marathon in 4 hours and 27 minutes
– a time way ahead of anything I originally anticipated. CPX
testing played a huge part in that achievement.
