Matt James Sets New Personal Best in London Marathon with Rachael Kirkconnell by His Side
A new PB!
Bachelor Nation couple Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell found love on Season 25 of “The Bachelor.”
Since their time on the show, the couple has been keeping fans updated with their lives on social media.
If you’ve been following along with Matt, you know that he’s run marathons around the world and recently placed in the top 10 overall at the Disney Princess Half Marathon.
Now, Matt took to Instagram to share that he just set a new marathon personal best in the London Marathon over the weekend.
He shared a photo of him and his girlfriend Rachael and wrote, “Marathons are much tougher when @shalaneflanagan isn’t pacing you. NEW pb: 3:00:41. Now it’s time to eat!”
Over 65,000 people took part in the London Marathon and Matt was among the top 3,000 runners to finish the race.
How exciting!
A fan commented on Matt’s post asking when he is going to break three hours and he said, “NYC!”
The New York Marathon is happening in November of this year, so looks like Matt is ready to come for yet another personal record!
We love getting to see him and Rachael travel the world together and he’s keeping us all motivated with those marathon times!
Congrats to Matt and all the other London Marathon runners.
