Pinch Me One day, just over a year ago, I decided to start running and captured the journey on my YouTube channel. Fast forward to today, thanks to @prodirectrunning I had the best running moment of my life. Not one of, THE best moment of my running journey. Meeting people I’ve looked up to and making connections that I never thought I would. I’m excited for the future. @adidasrunning thank you for such a precious experience and the photography. You have a life-long friend in me. #AdidasRunning #RoadToRecords #ProdirectRunning #runner #run #running #instarunners #instarun #runnerscommunity #newrunningshoes #runningshoes #runnersofinstagram #runninglife #runforlife #runhappy #runnersofinstagram #marathon #marathontraining #runningmotivation #healthylifestyle #runningworld #runningcommunity #runnerslife

Buongiorno Sorrento ☀️🏃🏻 - A beautiful start to the day with Mount Vesuvius in the background. A nice 5km around the twisty streets and along the coast, the bonus of running in the morning is everywhere is empty so I had the place to myself. - #sorrento #italy #instarunners #prodirectrunning #onrunning #runonclouds #polaruk_ire #gopro #goprouk
Start Monday, OK? Have you ever said that to yourself? Well, that's exactly what I've said to myself today. Should have run post work, decided against it, but the seige mentally is building, and I'm ready for it as being potato shaped is no fun. I've got @great_run Bristol 10k in 3 weeks, I need to get a bit of consistent training to even give me a bit of confidence I'll make the distance. So yeah, Monday, make sure I'm at it! #Mondaymotivation #motivationmonday #medalmonday #trailrunning #premaxathlete #motivation #chattyrun #ukrunchat #friends #asicsrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runhappy #runningcommunity #exercise #running #run #prodirectrunning #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #marathon #marathontraining #weightloss #seenonmyrun #gymlife

London Marathon ✅✅✅ I went into the race without a time in mind, just wanted to feel good and enjoy running in my home. Although It felt like I was flying through the first half with ease, clocking a 1:35. My quad had other idea from 15k which meant I was basically running on one leg for the rest. I had nothing to prove and nearly pulled out at 25k. This was the first time my body had given up before my mind. And somehow my mind got my body through the rest of the race. A smile on my face and the ks were somehow still going quickly evening though I couldn’t use my right leg 🥲 This was a reminder to me that not every race needed to be a PB in time. It was a PB for my mind in that it got my body through the race and across the line. Not to mention 2 maras in 2 weeks!!! 💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

It's time to put the foot to the four! I'm back to running club for this week's outing, but I nearly swapped it for a walk. Had a pain in my foot the last week, I've had this before and reckon it's down to either ill fitting shoes or wearing carbon plated ones a bit too often and it's just led to a tight muscle. I dusted off my regular trainers, 4 chatty miles, and I feel positive for the months ahead. #runcommunity #ukrunchat #throwbackthursday #sun #tempo #premaxathlete #motivation #chattyrun #ukrunchat #friends #asicsrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runhappy #runningcommunity #exercise #running #run #prodirectrunning #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #marathon #marathontraining #weightloss #seenonmyrun #gymlife

Motivation Monday! 👊🏃🏻♂️ Inspired by reading everybody’s amazing London marathon stories yesterday, I was more than ready to get out that door this morning for my recovery run! 😃 Nice chilled out 10k to start the week 👌 No need to push the pace so kept it steady and did cheekily increase the pace but only marginally so it didn’t impact my HR at all 🙌 6 days to go till I’m back on a start line, only this time it’s the Newport 10k so need to get that speed going in my legs again 🔥 Hope everyone is recovering well, my @garminuk is happy with me again and now showing I’ll be fully recovered ready for tomorrows run! 😜 Happy Monday! 👋 #roddersruns #provizsports #escsounds #runningdad #motivationmonday #recoveryrun #discipline #runeveryday #runningismytherapy #runningislife #runningjourney #runningmotivation #pacecontrol #trihardharriers #trihardandsucceed #ukrunchat #ukrunning #runspire #runninginspiration #runningman #runnersofinstagram #welshrunner #runrunrun #asicsrunning #prodirectrunning #sportsshoes #asicsfrontrunner #garminuk #believeinyourself #instarunners
Poppin an Oak... Early morning meeting with Ryanair and a trip over the water to Dublin and @poppintree_parkrun We were well received by a recent boston finisher and met a few locals before we tackled the 3 lap course around the park. Started steady and progressively built the pace. Got into a bit of a battle with a guy wanting 25 minutes, he sped off but I soon caught him once more. Quality brunch at @twoboysbrew then off for a day sightseeing in the Irish capital. #parkrun #parkrunuk #loveparkrun #parkruntourism #premaxathlete #bristol #motivation #chattyrun #ukrunchat #friends #asicsrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runhappy #runningcommunity #exercise #running #run #prodirectrunning #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #marathon #marathontraining #weightloss #seenonmyrun #gymlife

These two awesome women have allowed me to be part of their running journey as a fledgling coach. Thankyou. I am thoroughly enjoying learning to coach and can't wait to do more (though gosh I was more on edge than running the race myself - trackers are flaky!). I can safely say I love helping others hit their goals as much as I do trying to hit my own. Coaching isn't just about getting fast times and the thing I'm most proud of about these two results is something I had no impact on - both women ran incredibly smart races. They used their brains, adjusted and committed as they went. They trusted themselves, were competitive and pushed themselves but didn't let bravado derail the training they'd done and the result they were due. @megribton smashed her London championship time goal by running 3:06:54 with pacing and a negative split that a multi-marathoner would kill for even though a road marathon was a new thing for her. @englishruns ran 3:43:15 and her second fastest ever marathon at @bostonmarathon after campaigning for pregnancy deferral, navigating injury and family life challenges and on a day when the heat crept up and derailed so many people. But the race result is just a tiny part of the most fun bit - the process. As my own coach always says #lovetheprocess Watch this space for their future runs and thankyou to my EA trainers on the coaching course and all of my coaching mentors whose ears I bend for advice. #coachintraining #loverunning #proudcoach #unsanctionedathletics #prodirectrunning #adidas #eacoach #cirf #neverstoplearning #learnfromthebest

Waiting an age for the sun to rise! Friday 5k around the harbourside with my now significantly older running partner @runner_boo 😀. Ok, there's three days difference, but I'll milk it whilst I can. For the first morning in about two weeks, I didn't awake to myself coughing my guts up, so I'm hoping that from next week, I can start cranking the miles up to somewhere that's a bit more normal for me.

Londone Marafun! Little Thursday throwback to the two times I ran 26.2 around the capital. It took me 11 years to get a ballot place. It felt like I was never going to get a place! Yes, I got bitter, but it's the nature of the beast. The second time around, I got a place through my running club. Clubs are important people! I ran well both times running 3:16 and 3:20. Both runs weren't without incident, but that's another story. It's a great weekend, from the expo, meeting IG accounts, the build-up. Yes, there are other marathons, but unless you do the other majors, the atmosphere just isn't the same. I'll be in the ballot again next year. The GFA has been cut again, so it looks like sub 3 is the target, but it is what it is. I look forward to cheering all the runners on course at mile 23. Especially those whom it's their first London. Go and have a party out there! Are there any spare entries out there?

Four Play Wednesdays are always club nights, and the lighter warmer nights are en route, so it's much easier to come out to play! I'm just trying to tick over the miles and another 4 added to the strava bank for the week ahead of a busy weekend. Running heart rate is higher than I'd like, still not 100%, but the light is at the end of the tunnel. I am looking forward to building those summer miles. #workoutwednesday #crossfituk #strengthtraining #autism #betterthanyesterday #transformationtuesday #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #friends #asicsrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runhappy #runningcommunity #exercise #running #run #prodirectrunning #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #marathon #marathontraining #weightloss #seenonmyrun #gymlife

No place like home At the very last minute, I've secured my first race of the year, the @great_run bristol 10k! For 11 years of the last 13, I've run the half, but the fact that I hesitated for far too long and it sold out was my own doing. I don't think I've run the 10k since about 2010, so it'll be good to tackle that distance in my home city. There's always something unique about running in your own city race, seeing people you know on the sidelines and Facebook feeds filled with people you didn't know ran completed the event. I've no idea what kind of shape I'll be in next month, but it'll be a good yardstick for the year ahead. #transformationtuesday #weightloss #weightlosstransformation #runner #premaxathlete #motivation #chattyrun #ukrunchat #friends #asicsrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runhappy #runningcommunity #exercise #running #run #prodirectrunning #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #marathon #marathontraining #weightloss #seenonmyrun #gymlife

Forward motion The first run of the week banked and an easy harbourside loop to kick things off. Nice to see much more blue and green on the @garminuk map, and whilst the heart rate is higher than I'd like, the run felt easier, which is better than any metric. And progressive status as well. We believe it when it says what we want! #Mondaymotivation #motivationmonday #medalmonday #trailrunning #premaxathlete #motivation #chattyrun #ukrunchat #friends #asicsrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runhappy #runningcommunity #exercise #running #run #prodirectrunning #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #marathon #marathontraining #weightloss #seenonmyrun #gymlife
Manchester Marathon A wise man once said to me “Nothing is impossible” From homelessness, attempted suicide, addiction. 6months of running and I define the impossible sub 3 marathon with a time of 02:53:13 for my first ever marathon!!!

Boston Strong Ok, I'm not there this year, and I narrowly missed out the other year, but I'll keep manifesting the outcome until it happens. The desire is on its way back, and despite feeling a million miles away, 12 months is a long time in life to change the outcomes. I'm hoping that in the next few days, I can finally shake off this tonsillitis I've had and get back to work in the summer months. Momentum is a big thing, and once the wheels are turning again, I'm sure it won't take me long to get back to where I was. Seeing people ace Manchester and next week's London marathon will certainly add fuel to the fire. Sub 3:10 BQ so probably sub 3:05 for me next year is the goal. But every journey starts with the first steps, and that's where I'm at. #Mondaymotivation #motivationmonday #medalmonday #bostonmarathon #bostonstrong #motivation #chattyrun #ukrunchat #friends #asicsrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runhappy #runningcommunity #exercise #running #run #prodirectrunning #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #marathon #marathontraining #weightloss #seenonmyrun #gymlife

Leicester’s BIG 10k 🏃🏻➡️ - I started well but faded around half way, happy with the result still as my last 10k race in June last year was 58 minutes. So I’ve definitely found some consistency in training since the start of the year. Got to push on from here! - A great run from @smith84_ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Was good to see @the_stance_runner too. So much great support throughout and I really enjoyed. Well done to everyone that raced today! - #ukrunchat #instarunners #prodirectrunning #leicestersbig10k #onrunning #runonclouds #polaruk_ire
