My Journey Beyond 42K: Roads, Trails, and Virtual Milestones

Looking back at my running logs, I have tackled an impressive mix of road marathons, virtual majors, and rugged trail terrain. Chronologically, my marathon journey unfolds across five distinct events.

 Here is the story of my full-distance runs, looking at them in order from my first recorded event up to my most recent trail challenge.

10th Angkor Empire Marathon

9th Angkor Ultra Trail

I shifted gears dramatically to kick off 2026 by taking on a true grit endurance test. This trail run demanded a grueling 294 m elevation gain over 42.90 km. I battled through the terrain to finish in 6:18:17—a massive testament to my stamina on tough, uneven ground.
