On 7 April, AlumnForce took part in the Paris Marathon. The cobbles of perseverance and determination were trodden by Baptiste and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, who crossed the finish line of their first marathon. After months of rigorous preparation, at last… As much as possible; our 2 members achieved a great performance for their first time over the distance!<\/p>\n

Assiduous training<\/h3>\n

Training for a marathon is a serious commitment that requires intensive physical and mental preparation. Baptiste and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric set themselves this challenge at the end of last year. Baptiste, who had just completed the Saint\u00e9-Lyon trail race<\/a>, immediately wanted to set himself a new challenge. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric answered the call, and off they went for months of preparation!<\/p>\n

With unwavering dedication and determination, our 2 members have not faltered in their training programme to achieve their objectives on D-Day!<\/p>\n

The race<\/h3>\n

On the day of the marathon, the excitement was at its peak. Despite the challenges of the race, particularly the bad weather, our two runners remained focused and motivated. The support of friends, family and colleagues cheering them on along the way was crucial to their success.<\/p>\n

Achieving such a feat is not just measured by the stopwatch. It is also measured by the impact it has on the lives of the participants. For Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, the experience was “an explosion of pride and emotion, realising that every kilometre covered was a victory in itself.” Read his account of the experience on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See you at the next race<\/h3>\n

\"AlumnForceTheir eyes are now set on new challenges. The AlumnForce Run Club continues to support them every step of the way. Their experience is a reminder that, no matter how long the run, the important thing is the journey and what you gain from it in terms of personal growth.<\/p>\n

Congratulations again to Baptiste and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric on this remarkable achievement. Their journey is clear proof that determination and rigorous training lead to results you’d never have imagined!<\/p>\n

We’re already looking forward to future races, including Paris-Versailles in September!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
