Had a long busy day yesterday and this mornings wind and rain didn’t coax me out of bed, so I thought I probably wasn’t getting out this weekend. However, this afternoon it stopped, the sun came out and there was still time for a short afternoon run for the RP Sunday VRC. Also meant I got to try my new Vaga hat which felt great. #runningpunk #runningpunks #runningpunkscommunity #dontharasswomen #ukrunchat #ukrunning #ukrunners #runningtometal #running #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #happystride #brooksrunning #runningselfie #slowrunner #slowrunningmetalhead #runrunrun #runningdad #runninginyour40s #oldnfat2oldnslightlythinner #vågå #runningpunksvirtualrunclub #vrc
GBSCOT50 W10 D6 - 22mi Course Recce - Wanlockhead to Moffat. I found myself a bit uncertain about how to approach recceing the remaining 22 miles of the @ultra_scotland 50 course. This stretch boasted the course's highest point and two hefty climbs, making it a critical section to familiarize myself with. With race day looming where I'll already have clocked 9 hours of running by this point, I didn't want to tackle the recce on fresh legs, potentially giving myself a false sense of security for the big day. However, with my legs still grumbling from Friday's marathon effort, I figured they were in just the right condition to give me a realistic preview of what to expect on race day. Right out of the gate, I faced the course's biggest climb, ascending to the summit of Lowther Hill. Despite having been up there a few times before, the view from the top remained elusive due to the rolling clouds and fierce winds—no risk of overheating in my jacket there! Thankfully, the ground underfoot was much friendlier than it had been just 10 days prior, likely thanks to both the terrain itself and recent weather conditions. If I thought my poles were handy on the first half of the course, they truly proved their worth on the steeper hills in the latter half. The photos hardly do justice to the sheer gradient in some places. While a few signs along the way warned of potential encounters with Danger Noodles 🐍, all I really had to contend with were a couple hundred sheep and their adorable lambs. I reckon on race day, the frontrunners will clear the path for everyone else. As I rolled into Moffat, having now covered the entire course, it dawned on me that I had one thing still to do - it's time to start mulling over some goals for race day 🏅⏱️. #running #training #ultratraining #ultrascotland #gbultras #trailrun #courserecce #longrun #southernuplandway #suw #wanlockhead #lowtherhill #daerreservoir #moffat #scotland #runningcommunity #ukrunchat #ukrunners #runnersjourney #trailrunnerlife

Tired run out this evening - legs definitely feeling yesterday's harder effort! . As the run went on the pace gradually got slower 😪 However I still stayed below 10min/mile pace - something I couldn't do at all, whilst maintaining zone 2, just a few months ago! . So ill take it 😎 now to rest and refuel, we go again tomorrow!
Another first today… Tempo runs with @coopahruncoach I’ve found myself struggling with slowing down my pace to match the effort required, but I guess that comes with experience. I do have a Fitbit which I haven’t found the most helpful with giving accurate pace or staying illuminated when I need it, and unfortunately Coopah will only ‘push’ workouts to Apple and Garmin watches. Maybe one day I’ll may the leap to a @garminuk or @coros_uk soon… 🤔 Great sunset, and just missed the showers. Glad I got out there when I did - was feeling sluggish and winding down to PJ time! 😜 Never a truer word spoken: you never regret a run!

Final long run done mate 🙌🏻😜 enjoyed that on a cracking evening along the seafront 👌 i had to bust out my retro arsenal top to run in after that win today 😜 Got a few cheers and probably wanker as well along the seafront 🤣 went out too fast but felt comfortable well apart from the 💩 at halfway point 🙈🤣 forgot to go before rookie mistake! Now for a week of being sensible hardly any alcohol 🤥 eating well 🙈🤣 and just a few smaller runs! Happy running 👍
Second race of the year in the bag. Legs still work after yesterday and I survived. Another well organised event from @blastrunning loved the baseball cap you got at the end. Only 4 weeks to go now until the marathon and more importantly eating Pizza again. #run #runnersofinstagram #running #lovetorun #instarunners #ukrunners #runningismytherapy #ukrunchat #marathonplan #ukrunnerscommunity #edinburgh #edinburghmarathon #emf #edinburghmarathon2024 #marathontraining

Day 812!! After yesterday’s adventures and best part of 50,000 steps today was always going to be a struggle and not one of my finest runs. But after a bit of shopping, some good food, and a bit of a chill out, i found a Riesen 😉 to get myself out and do a 10km. A little gentle plod while listening to a crime podcast around Denholme, Cullingworth and then over the Hewenden Viaduct and that was enough for today. Not an amazing week, but still averaging over 10kms every day which will do for me given i’ve had flu all week. I was also thinking about this streak and just how much i’ve done, and how far i might carry on for and which milestones are next, and it made me realise just how crazy it is really 🤯 812 Days 116 Weeks 25 (nearly 26) RED Months Averaging over 11kms a Day And over 173,000Mtrs + Climbed 🤯🤯🤯 Anyway hope everyone had a good weekend and got out and enjoying their runs/walks #lonelygoatrunningclub #runningmotivation #instagramrunners #ukrunning #fit #run #runners #running #runningman #runnersworld #igrunners #runhappy #instarunners #runchat #runtastic #Runnerslife #fitnessmotivation #RunningStreak #ukrunners #mentalhealth #LovetoRun #TrailRunning #streak #2024Goals #RunEveryDay #812 #hewendenviaduct #denholme #116weeks #riesen
At the start 🏁 - running 🏃🏼♀️- at the finish 🏅 Great day at Plymouth half today! Perfect weather conditions and lovely company 😍 I've entered this local race twice before but injury and illness have prevented me from starting it. Glad to be on the startline today. I haven't been training since Tokyo and wanted to enjoy it so no time goals for me. I ran with the girls who all finished super strong and managed some PBs too 🙌 @lauraevelynnunn @nikilaing @jt_marketing_pr Today made me think I'd love to be an official pacer one day 😁 Super proud of @eduardo3472 for running a massive PB! Improving his half time by 6 minutes since January, esprcially given today was hilly and January's race was flat 🔥💪 Second pic by @laurenhayleykim. @elena_outdoors, Lauren and @outdoor_adrift did a superb job with cheering! ❤️ Thanks @run_plymouth 🥳 I'll be back! #plymouthhalfmarathon #plymouthhalf #runplymouth #halfmarathon #raceday #britainsoceancity #running #runnerscommunity #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #sundayrunday #runchat #ukrunners
Off plan and back to “running when I can” busy week with work and on Thursday I literally forgot I needed to run so mileage a bit lower than I would’ve wanted but five runs done, over double than the week before, had to tape my toe up as possibly broke it but other than that feeling good, time to get some proper sessions back in, get the alarm set and get it done before work and get ready for the Cookson 10k in two weeks!
Sunday Bluebell trails🪻 . Nice to get a full week of training in after flu and then a chest infection a few weeks ago! . 2 x S&C Sesssions 🏋🏽 3 x Runs 🏃🏽 1 x Stair Climber 🪜 .

EXPLORING LONDON ON FOOT: A week ago, 50,000 heroes enjoyed one of the greatest experiences in running - crossing a packed Tower Bridge during the London Marathon. I don’t feel jealous that I wasn’t with them. I feel excited, and proud, of all the people I know who did it. I’m not frustrated my own marathon plans have hit the back-burner in 2024 either. Life is about choices and priorities and running competitively isn’t mine right now. Every run is a gift, whether that’s in Norfolk or London when I visit my missus, and I’d rather focus on the positives. The fact I’ve crossed that famous bridge while running this year is something I’ve never done before. I’m lucky life has given me the chance to. One day I am certain I will complete 26.2 miles - and line up in the capital. At the moment, my time and focus is on my two boys and the long-distance relationship that splits my time between Norfolk and the Big Smoke…for now. Preparing for the St Neots Half in November 2023 became a stress and a chore. Being a single parent makes it very tricky to train and reach the levels I believe I can. It’s never been in my DNA to do things by half - until now. I’ve had to find a middle ground to turn the pressure down. A few runs a week when I have time. When I want to, not because I ‘have’ to. And I really enjoy them. It’s a much healthier balance. It doesn’t have to be all in or not at all. It won’t be forever. I’ll focus and knuckle down again when a few things get sorted. I’m only 36. For now, I remember the times I was injured for months and couldn’t run, even if I wanted to. When it’s your own choice it feels easier to accept. This hobby, sport and ability to even exercise is a gift. We are recreational runners, we should ‘enjoy’ it and backing away for a bit can help in the long run 🫶🏻 #running #runnersofinstagram #longdistancerunner #alwaysrunning #distancerunner #roadrunning #runnerlife #runner #runningdad #longruns #runday #runalways #dadrunning #runningdaddy #thisdadruns #runningcommunity #ukrunchat #ukrunners #ukrunning #runninguk #runningforfun #instagramrunners #runfit #runningdads #irunthisbody #london #towerbridge #ldn #london🇬🇧 #londonmarathon
Newport Marthon update.... WOW! I couldn't have asked for a better race. Conditions were perfect, the course was as flat as advertised and fuelling this week and during the race was spot on. Over the moon with this result today. PB and GFA time for London (hopefully). Massive shout out to @racedcoaching as always, with out you none of this would be possible. I remember messaging you asking if the marathon pace on my plan for this block was a typo 😅 Thanks for always pushing the bar and helping me believe more is possible. Another shout out to @james_mccallion_ for helping me focus on my S&C, something that I've ignored over the years. Just goes to show how important this is if you want to achieve your goals. Lastly @amyrawlins85 and my kids, thank you for putting up with the countless running and allowing me the time to do something I love and supporting me though it. I appreciate you all and and all of my running friends, you are all an inspiration and I thank you for sharing your goals and dreams. It's such a motivation.

My next exciting race is the UTMB @ultratrailsnowdonia 25K, so today I attempted to do some trail running, but didn't go so well. I don't live near any trails or mountains... I just ran off-road as much as I could, and up and down any hills I came across. It was also a run to try out my new trail shoes. These are the @asics Gel-Trabuca Terra, which I got for a very good price at the outlet store yesterday. So far on today's little run they felt really good 😊 I ran closer to 8km, but I kept pausing my watch when I was deciding where to go and forgot to resume 😒 I had such a fun run today though. 🎥 Manchester Marathon 2024 Race Recap Video LIVE on Thursday - link will be in bio!

4 Marathons in 4 weeks finished with an Ultra and an almighty crew to cross the finish line with🏅 I’m honestly in shock. Running with this group of legends was everything and the finish was so special 😭 Will give a proper debrief later but for now. Team we did it. I did it 🙌🏾 Brighton Marathon: 3:54 Lake Garda Marathon: 4:17 London Marathon: 3:58 Thames Path 50km: 5:25 Just under £2,000 raised for @thebraintumourcharity ❤️ Time to sit down 😂 really this time 🍾 #4444 #BrainTumourResearch #ToTheFinishLine
WORTHING HALF MARATHON PB 🔔 1:43:34 ✨ The goal was a sub 1:45 so I’m super happy with this and I enjoyed every bit of the race. I did get a stitch around 18km so didn’t go full zoomies for the last part like I’d planned, but to knock 6 minutes 6 seconds off my old PB (thanks to the sub 1:45 training plan from @justalilbester @best.athletics 🤍💙) makes me sooo happy. Onto Richmond Marathon in Sept to chase the sub 4, then Manchester Marathon next year! #halfmarathonrunner #halfmarathon #worthingrunfest #ukrunners #runningmotivation

Well I’m now officially a marathon runner. Boston UK Marathon completed in absolutely horrendous conditions. Really strong winds and rain that never let up from start to finish led to flood roads weren’t ideal. At times I couldn’t feel my hands or feet but made it around in a sub 5 hour time of 4hrs 52 minutes. Great to do with Michael Corney @lovingparkrunandrunning who made the marathon much more enjoyable. Now to rest up and enjoy some family time. #bostoncommunityrunners #bostonukmarathon #marathon #ukrunchat #ukrunning #ukrunners #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram

Springy legs today - first time in 2 weeks since SDW that they felt good to run! 👌🏻 Good Sunday tempo effort to round off a productive 38 mile week! 2 weeks (well,13 days) till @ultratrailsnowdonia 50k😬 How’s everyone else’s weekend going?🤔
Spot the difference 👀 🇫🇷 If the girl in the first picture, visiting Paris in the summer before starting her degree in French Studies, had known that twelve years later she’d be back in the same spot having completed Paris marathon, she would never have believed you 🥹 In the moment I was a bit disappointed with how the race went and with my finish time, even though it was a PB 🏅 But sometimes you need to take a step back to see how far you’ve come ✨ #parismarathon #marathondeparis #runnersofinstagram #paris2024 #newPB #runningjourney #ukrunners #runningcommunity #runningmotivation #runninggoals #thismumcanrun #thisgirlcanrun #runnergirl #motherrunner #runningmum #glowup #loverunning #ukrunchat #PBattempt #marathonrunner #marathontraining #parisjetaime #personalbest #PB #sundayrunday #raceday #marathonrunning #spotthedifference #springmarathon #marathonrunning

I would like to apologise. On Friday I celebrated two comparatively dry days. Since then it has rained non stop, the Dollis Brook is ready to burst it's banks and I'm wearing gloves again. Sorry. This was actually my last run for April. 230km this month, an unreasonably high proportion of which was in the rain. That's down on last month but up on April last year when my injury issue started. Good progress. #ukrunners #ukrunchat #runnersofinstagram #dollisvalleygreenwalk
Setting PRs on a Saturday. 💥 Managed to get a longish run in around a weekend of solo dadding (god bless grandparents!) and set a 10k PR in the process 🤯 This was the last run on my @runna_coach post race recovery plan. A couple of warm up kms, 10km at 4:30 and then a couple for a cooldown. With marathon training I haven't really spent much time on those 5k and 10k efforts, but it's really pleasing go see how much I've improved since the start of the training block in December. I've got a 10km in two weeks so let's see if we can beat it! #ukrunners #ukrunner #ukrunchat #runners #runner #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #garmin #garminconnect #strava #running #run #runningmotivation #instarunner #instarunners #runhappy #marathonrunner #marathonrunners #runnersworld #runna

The dust is starting to settle and I'm finally in a place where I can reflect. ✨I'm full of gratitude. ✨ I'm grateful for my body, my team, my tiny home and of course, this beautiful backyard that I get to play in. ⛰️ Playing away is fun but there really is no place like home. 🏡🐕 📸 @ryanedy 🪄
Can’t believe it’s a week since #londonmarathon _ They say the marathon is the victory lap and this picture reflects that in spades _ It captures the moment I spotted my wife and children and was desperately trying to get my sons attention as I was worried he would miss me _ Although I was still running well over the last 10K I was hurting and the thoughts of stopping did enter my head _ However, knowing that my family were waiting for me at parliament square was all the motivation I needed to keep going and push hard _ I so wish I had a camera to capture the scene coming back to me and share that with you as the memory is still so vivid for me (which is the most important) _ The emotion and boost of energy at that moment is impossible to bottle, and if I could it would be priceless, as it’s no wonder my last mile was my fastest _ In terms of recovery my legs have bounced back really well and they are ready to go, however the cold that decided to breakout the day before the marathon has lingered and making me keep the shoes on ice for a few more days _ Thank you @running_by_hazza for sharing the 📸 _ #runspirerunners #irunspire #runspire #fractelrunning #whywerun #ultrarunners #runnersofig #londonmarathon #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #instagramrunners #ukrunchat #ukrunners #runcommunity #run #runningcommunity #runner #running #runningmotivation #marathonrunner #ultratrail #marathon #londonmarathon
Day 168/320 (training for 100 miles) Today's workout was a home strength session with bursts of 2 minute fast (for me) miles on the treadmill It was lots of fun and I enjoyed breaking up the workout with running - I sometimes find at home workouts pretty dull because I'm just on my own lifting a thing and putting it back down again 🤣 my mind wanders and I get easily distracted so having these little bits of running really helped focus me a bit more! Whatever you're up to, I hope you have an awesome Sunday! #running #run #runner #fitness #runningmotivation #runuk #runnersofinstagram #runners #instarunners #training #runstagram #ukrunchat #morningrun #motivation #marathon #ukrunners #instarun #womensrunning #runninginspo #igrunners #instarunner #garmin #runningcommunity #runhappy #laufen #runnersworld #runnerscommunity #funrun #runrunrun
Congratulations to my athlete @mrscroker18 for her brilliant run at the Butcombe Trail Ultra 56 mile race yesterday and finishing 3rd lady 🥉 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 For the last 6-7 months we have been working on all aspects of her running, from specific run training to strength and mobility work to changing how she fuels/hydrates and building her confidence 💫 The game plan yesterday was to have a well paced race, get the fuelling and hydration right, not go out too hard and maintain a pace that she felt like she’d be able to maintain for the whole duration of the race and to look after herself- so stop to look after her feet if she needed to etc. She absolutely nailed it - Super proud of you Laura 😊 Another big well done from US @mountainstrong_ ,keep up all your hard work 👏🏻👏🏻 Enjoy the recovery/week off and then it’s time to continue with the plan and keep working towards the @13valleysultra in September ⛰️⛰️⛰️ @mountainstrong_ @mrscroker18 @magsmay_d

Boston marathon done and dusted? Cassie is not done yet- coz London is calling again!😅 2 marathons in less than 6 days, it was definitely not easy. But London Marathon🏡 is so special to me that there was no way I was going to miss out. . The first half felt surprisingly smooth, almost forgot my legs were still grumbling from Boston, and almost had me convinced I could smash another PB. . But then, my stomach decided to stage a revolt🥴. Nausea and diarrhoea hit me like a ton of bricks, and there was no way around it. So, I slowed down to a gentle jog and embraced the ‘joys’ of the race all the way to the finish. . Crossed the finish line in 3:31:30 – not too bad, considering the circumstances! 😅 . Big shoutout to all my pals, clubmates @herculeswimbledon , and the amazing spectators who kept my spirits up every step of the way🫶. London Marathon is truly the BEST in the world! And I couldn’t be happier to have it under my belt once again 🥰 .

Last double figure Long run done ahead of @jtrunforall #leedsmarathon2024 in 2 weeks. Despite the tired looking face it was an enjoyable run and feel ready for the hills.

As much as I love running I was questioning why I was running around Edinburgh like a headless chicken today trying to reach 23 miles and putting myself through this. Not my best run after a rubbish week just didn’t have the energy/motivation for it but least it’s done and the longest run on the plan is tick off now. On a side note If you see me passed out in a heap at the newhaven 10k tomorrow please stop my watch for me. #run #runnersofinstagram #running #lovetorun #instarunners #ukrunners #runningismytherapy #ukrunchat #marathonplan #ukrunnerscommunity #edinburgh #edinburghmarathon #emf #edinburghmarathon2024 #marathontraining
Nice afternoon working on CP3 and tail sweeping for @runawayracing on the #chilternridgeultra 🪧 . Awesome to see how these events have evolved over the last few years and always great to see friends out on the trail 👌🏼 . . #run #running #runnersofinstagram #runnerscommunity #runner #runforlife #runhappy #runningmotivation #runningman #instarunner #instarun #instarunners #runninglife #roadrunning #ultrarunning #ultrarunner #trailrunning #marathontraining #runchat #ukrunchat #veganrunner #soberrunner #runnersworld #ukrunners
Racing season is officially here🤟🏻 My enthusiasm got the better of me and tomorrow I will be racing for the 3rd weekend in a row. Pictured here kicking things off at the best 5k in the SW😎 It’s been lovely catching up with current and ex training partners over the years🫶 I want to know, what distance are all of you training to race next? . . . #runnersofinstagram #runspire #ukrunners #running #runningmotivation #fitnessmotivation #runchat #instarunners #ukrunchat #raceday #5krun
First strength sessions with @coopahruncoach this morning - starting off small, but didn’t realise how much strength I am lacking! Forgot to take any photos on my run this afternoon, so a snap from our visit earlier today at the @thehorsetrust will have to do - the girls love to go there for a couple of hours to pat a few ponies and get an ice cream. First time for the twins today. Finally got around to actually signing onto Thame 10k, so it is now locked in the diary 🔒 #couchto5k #oxfordhalf #halfmarathontraining #10ktraining #startrunning #runningbeginner #runbeginner #runday #runmotivation #runningmotivation #runninguk #ukrunners #running #runningcommunity #strava #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #coopahrunning #coopah
Getting it done Backyard Ultra style. That was fun, hard, tiring and hugely rewarding. 37 mile Long Run done using the Backyard Ultra format. The format of this type of run is 🔵 Loop of 4.167 miles 🔵 Run every hour 🔵 Starting on the hour The actual competitive events can go on for days and days and it continues until it’s last person standing. I use the format sometimes for Long Runs, it demands quite a lot of the body, especially as there is around a 20 min rest period at the end of each loop before the next hour ticks over. I say rest but really it’s about body management as the legs can go cold and that’s not great. 📍 north Devon 🗓️ 100K programme 👟 Hoka Clifton 9 The recommendation is if you’re going to try the Backyard Ultra format is to find a flat route, I think I completely failed on that one! With near 3500ft of gain today. Oh well can’t be perfect all the time. And it does make for an elevation graph that looks like a bed of nails - see pic 3. I did 9 loops today, my route came in at about 4.144 miles so pretty close to the official format. 📸 2 - Strava data 📸 3 - a bed of nails! - - - #backyardultra #laufen #ultrarunning #ultrarunner #longrun #pushyourself #fullsend
Proud of myself today! . Set off for a cruise interval session as part of normal training and ended up running a new personal best 15km AND 10miles despite walking breaks between the intervals!!🎉🎉 . It really is testament to the work by @ddtricoaching and @strengthforendurance that I'm "accidentally" setting pb's on routine training runs and really does bode well for the future 😎
Henry did not want you to run today… he saw me in my running gear… saw the rain outside and just sat in his bed and point blank refused to move… stubborn old 🐕🦺… Dexter couldn’t wait to come out for a 12K plod/paddle in the rain! #runningintherain #runningwithdogs #blacklab #run #running #runners #trailrunning #ukrunners #ukrunningcommunity #ultrarunning #trailrunninglife
Any physical pain form Manchester has now gone, so it’s time to get back out. This morning was a club away day trip to Chester Parkrun. I did this one last year with Shelby, but was a different course than today so I’m taking it as a new one 😂 Been doing a bit of reflection though since Manchester, and what I want for the rest of the year. I’ve decided to defer Race to the Stones until next year, heads just not in place to start ultra training So it’s going to be a few months of “enjoyable” running while I figure out what to do next #run #running #runners #runnersofinstagram #runnersofinsta #runningcommunity #runningmotivation #mensrunning #mensrunninguk #ukrunners #marathon #runningworld #runningclub #instarunners #instafit #training #intervals #speed #lnstarunner #newbalance #strava #therunningmod #runleader #teamteal #coopah #fartlekfamily
Love seeing these memories come up from the BRUTAL Run (@brutalseries )events, this was back in 2013 at Bagshot. This photo when I finished in 1 hour 5 mins, 73rd out of 439 runners. Three years later I finished 1st at the event in 57:39 (the time cannot be compared as 2016 the event was in February, a much colder day and more water on the course) Now I am one of the race directors at Brutal Run and it’s a big part of my life. I love seeing these memories for many reasons, amongst them seeing how far I’ve come in my running, health and fitness journey, all the time learning more and more how to get the most from me and in turn how to help others more. If you are reading this and wondering how you can make the changes you want to help your running, that could be losing some lbs, building some strength, working on your nutrition, having a stronger mindset then I can help you, I’ve been there and done it, let me help so as you don’t need to make the mistakes I did along the way 😀 #phillyoungcoaching #run #running #runner #trailrun #ukrunners #trailrunning #trailrunner #ukrunchat #runstagram #runninginspiration #runhappy #ukrunningcommunity #ultrarun #instarun #igrun #ukrunning #ultrarunner #runfit #fitforlife #brutalrun #brutalseries
Park run volunteering with my little best mate 😍 great start to the day helping out at chalkwell parkrun! Me and Evie helped in our new roles as token collecting/token sorting! a lady has kindly made this token sorting board have a swipe to see ➡️ it’s a fairly busy parkrun with around 420 runners so it def helps and Evie loved signing up 10 more volunteers for future weeks! 😊 I have also volunteered at work this week doing litter picking along the Thames def feels good to help out, get involved people 👍 Also been to @oxygenactiveplay this afternoon no rest day here 🙈🤣
I didn’t really need ten miles this morning but the weather was glorious so a run along the river after @crichtonparkrun it was with @gordon___stewart . Then after lunch wee spin on the bike and walk with Sonia and Maise. This time next week all being well i’ll be in Belfast pacing up and down like a fish out of water. The weather looks like its going to be okay. Ive taken Friday off work so i can get some good faffing about in, so yeah THAT time again😵💫😂👍 #strava #stravarunning #runnersofinstagram #runhappy #ukrunchat #ukrunningcommunity #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #belfastmarathontraining #instarunners #ukrunners #myrunninglife #myrunningjourney #scottishrunning #scottishrunner #lovedandg #belfastcitymarathon
Busy start to the weekend, @parkrunuk number 222! 🏃♂️ Started off a bit quicker than planned and with no warm up either 🤦♂️ been one of those days 🤣 Then off to a children’s party with my daughter 🤪🤪 Off out tonight to see @romeshranga wonder if he’ll mention the marathon 😅🏃♂️ #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runners #runnersofinstagram #runner #runninglife #parkrun #halfmarathontraining #halfmarathon #marathontraining #lovewhereyoulive #healthylifestyle #fatlossjourney #parkrunuk #loveparkrun #parkrunner #runningcommunity #strongerfaster #Getactive #runtime #ukrunners #ukrunchat #wearerunners #Brightonmarathon #Marathontraining #intervals #consistency #consistencyiskey #Gym
On a 5 Tourist streak. That’s my 44th different event, getting closer to the half Cowell Club. By coincidence that’s @parkrunuk number 144. If I keep this streak going it will be run 150 and my 50th different event . Off to Philips Park next to @mancity Eithad stadium 🏟️ today. Another decent sub 24 run and my highest mileage week since January with a day still to go. . Might head up and do the stocks reservoir Trail loop tomorrow. . On a separate note drove past the new @thecooplive and it still looks like a building site. There was even a crane messing around with the logos on the building - I’ve got Peter Kay tickets - how they thought it was going to be ready I don’t know. 😮 . . . . . . .. . . . #trail #trailrunning #trails . #ukrunchat #ukrunners #running #run #runners #runningmotivation #runningman #runnersofinstagram #ultra #runningmanchallenge #runner #runs #instarunners #instarunner #training #halfmarathon #parkrun #ultrarunner #marathon #ultrarunning #parkrun
GBSCOT50 W10 D5 - 4mi Recovery Run I'm not going to lie, my legs are pretty shattered after yesterday's PB! Nevertheless, I wanted to get a few easy miles into them and get them moving again today. For the second week in a row I've opted not to go for back-to-back long runs and instead, slotted in a smaller recovery run. The main reason for opting for a recovery run, is tomorrow's plans. I'm heading back down to Wanlockhead to recce the remaining 22 miles of the @ultra_scotland 50 course and it's going to be another big day in the hills. Given what I experienced on the Southern Upland Way last week, I wanted to get that balance right between activating my legs today, while not taking any more out of them than I had to. #running #training #ultratraining #recoveryrun #slowrun #sorelegs #wishaw #motherwell #ukrunchat #ukrunners #runnersjourney
Another solid week including a nice tempo earlier in the week and a long run today! 🏃🏻♂️ Revisit to the Hampton Court Half route since the race last year, lovely course by the river and cool weather to go with it!

9 tired miles. Wanted to do more but felt exhausted from the start. But 9 miles are better than no miles. Spatially unaware pedestrians out in force today 🤦🏼♂️ if you are one of them, take a long look in the mirror and do better.

15km 🏃🏻✅ - 1hr 34mins / Avg Pace: 6.18/km That was tough! But with Spartan Trifecta in 2 weeks, I needed to get some distance behind me... Very happy!

Been a bit quiet on here of late! Training still ongoing for the big stuff though, and parkrun still happens on a Saturday - water's wet and all that! 😃 This week it was Clarence, our next NENDY as we needed a close one this time due to other commitments A lovely hybrid course up in Bury, and a relatively new event, this one event number 24 Top first timer's briefing with a bit of history on the park & fields thrown in, then it was the off - 2 small laps on tarmac around the bandstand section of the park, then out onto the fields for 2 grassy, muddy & undulating laps before heading back for a final mini lap of the tarmac section then finishing 🏁 A tough course we thought - and we were told the muddy sections can be a lot worse, definitely trail shoes for this one - but highly enjoyable for all that 😊 Have been introducing some gym work lately to complement training for the ultras, and it's beginning to tell as today's run felt very strong - back first in 20:30, parkrun 184 and venue 127 👌 The first finish topped off what was a great outing - think we both enjoyed this one more than expected, making it one we'll definitely revisit 🙂 #clarenceparkrun #clarencepark #parkrunuk #parkrunfamily #parkruntourism #parkruntribe #parkrunday #parkruntourist #parkruncouple #loveparkrun #loverunning #runninglife #widnesrunningclub #fartlekfamily #bethebestyou #dowhatyoulove #hardworkworks #saturdayfun #saturdayrun #happiestwhenrunning #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #runningcommunity #ukrunningcommunity #ukrunning #ukrunners #aprilrunning #keeponrunning #runforgoodmentalhealth #runningismytherapy
Back at parkrun this morning and of course the @londonmarathon T-shirt had to be worn! 💁🏼♀️ After a super heavy week work-wise (hello 12 hour days🫠) in all honesty, I’m really not recovered from the marathon and found that super tough. Really enjoyed Burgess though. It’s a busy pancake flat one-lapper with a lovely little community run cafe that does a great latte! 😋 . . . . #runner #runnergirl #running #runninglife #runnerslife #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #womensrunninguk #womensrunningcomunity #ukrunners #ukrunchat #instarunners #inspiringwomenrunners #thisgirlcan #thisgirlruns #marathonrunner #marathontraining #marathongirl #whyirunldn

Slow long run on a Saturday - starting the Great North Run training earlier than I normally would as I always leave it to the last minute 🥲
