Marathon Runner · 2026 & Beyond

First Marathon:
Done. What's Next?

Crossed the finish line at Milton Keynes in 5:16. Now I've got multiple marathons ahead and one clear goal: break 4:30. Every run, every mile, all documented here.

Hi, I'm DC

David Carr.
Marathon finisher.

I started running in 2022 but never stuck to a routine. Since July 2024, I've been walking 20k steps a day, which sparked the urge to run properly. I signed up for races, joined a running club, built this site — and in May 2026 I crossed the finish line at Milton Keynes in 5:16. First marathon done. Now I've got more marathons lined up and I'm chasing sub-4:30.

My main website is dcblog.dev where I write about web development.
