A decent 10k yesterday followed by a really decent 5k this afternoon. Today was the first time in ages that I've managed run a 5k under 24mins after struggling to run sub 25 mins over the last couple of months. Hopefully I can continue to improve. #running #runner #runr #run #runhappy #runningcommunity #runnersworld #runners #ukrunning #runningmotivation #instarunners #instarun #runnersofinstagram #runnersofig #runnersofinsta #5km #10km #longrun #selfie #runselfie #longruns #guyswithbeards #guyswithlonghair #runnerscommunity #runchat #runchatuk #parkrunuk #parkrun
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

The London Marathon 21 April 2024 04:31:30 - 29min 4sec PB 🇬🇧 I honestly can’t believe last Sunday I completed the iconic London Marathon! 👑 So much work went into this moment, injuries and illness had me questioning if I’d even make it to the starting line. 💂🏻♂️ Has it been easy, hell no! Was it all worth it, absol-bloody-utely. I could not have done it without the support and love of everyone around me, my family, friends, training buddies, and all of you cheering from the sidelines! 🏰 We raised an outstanding £2,931.20 for @bloodcancer_uk 1.

Newport Half done. Wasn't pretty, and neither are my feet after it. Had to wear my old (like 4 pairs of running trainers ago 'old') trainers that have only been used for gardening, painting, and episodes of gout due to their 'wide toebox' (Altra's words, not mine). Which have now put blisters in odd places. But, I managed a sub 1:55 half which, under the circumstances, is totally acceptable. Confusing course where the halfers and marathoners were together for a bit, then split up, then got back together, then joined the 10kers towards the end; that there were so many different paces going on around me I had no idea what I was trying to do. But the event was fun, the route was alright, and the volunteers were amazing. Didn't manage to finish the banana again. I never do. #running #race #newporthalfmarathon #newportmarathonfestival #ukrunning #ukrunchat #runningpunks
•📸 LDN in TEN 📸• 10 photos + 10 facts about my 10th Marathon 💁🏼♀️ 1️⃣ My chip time was 2:43:17. I ran a negative split: the first half in 1:22:04, the second half in 1:21:13. 2️⃣ I was worried I was going too fast, so (for the first time ever in a race) I chatted to a couple of friends along the way (sorry about that 😅). 3️⃣ This was a Personal Best for me by 1m55s and a Course Best of 4m19s. My 10th marathon time was also my 10th Personal Best in the Marathon. 4️⃣ I did not take any caffeine, beetroot juice, CBD etc., the only ‘ergogenic’ aids were the supershoes on my feet and the carbohydrate gels/electrolytes in my (veryyy clever!) pocket sports bra. 5️⃣ I have never felt this unsure/nervous on a marathon start line as on this one. I literally had no idea which way it was going to go. Some elements of my training had been strong, but several of my MP long runs had been far from ideal. 6️⃣ I cried before heading out for my last session a few days earlier, and I am not an easy crier. See point 7. 7️⃣ I ordered my shoes on Thursday PM and had them delivered to my hotel on FRIDAY AFTERNOON. It was nothing short of a miracle. 8️⃣ We trekked all the way to the wrong Zizzi branch for my pre-race meal and had to go all the way back to the hotel and make do with a cold M&S pasta pot and bread roll. This is not the first time I have done this, last time being booking the wrong night before the Manchester HM. What do they say about ‘don’t miss twice’?! I am delegating restaurant bookings in the future! 😅 9️⃣ I was still in the toilet queue at 09:55, and this has been the same every time. Pleaseeee change! 🔟 I finished as the 12th non-elite female in the mass race, out of 25,267.. (unofficial). I’ve never been that bothered by placing, but for the actual London marathon, I think I can celebrate this one! So yeah… no race build will ever be perfect, but once I was eventually out on the road doing my thing, I absolutely LOVED this race from start to finish, found my flow, and you bet I took my own advice to ‘smile for every mile’… and then some. Thank you, thank you, thank you LONDON, you were mega! 🫶🏻 #LondonMarathon #LondonMarathon2024

Worthing Half Marathon 2024. Cold, wet and windy - not the usual end of April race conditions! I rolled my ankle at Brighton Marathon a few weeks ago and strained some ligaments a bit, so it was a slightly steadier race pace, but taking it a teeny weeny bit easier made it all the more enjoyable! A respectable time in the circumstances - 1:27:33 - and some great times by all just team mates today in the Half and 10k! And great support from everyone on the streets! #run #running #runner #ukrunning #ukrunchat #ukrunningcommunity #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #halfmarathon #race

Best running view? 🙌 I absolutely love this view from Walla Crag and I always go there when I'm feeling a bit thoughtful, happy or sad. I feel like it grounds me and helps me to put things into perspective. It's amazing what a view can do and this is my favourite. So today's run was from Keswick, up Walla Crag, drop down to Ashness Bridge then followed the trail to Great Wood and back along by Derwentwater. Some slightly trickier parts for running (for me anyway) with bigger rocks and small little trails to navigate but I'm trying to get my confidence back up so perfect for that. Nice and easy to fully enjoy and not push it. I've been increasing my mileage too lately so the extra runs are at an easy effort. . . . . . #runnersofinstagram #running #runningcommunity #ukrunchat #runchat #runfaster #ukrunning #runnergirl #runnerslife #runnersofinsta #runningmotivation #runningaddict #girlswhorun #girlswhoruntrails #igrunners #runrunrun #instarunners #runningmakesmehappy #igersrunners #runningtraining #trailrunning #uktrailrunning #lakedistrictrunning #howtorun #justrunning #runningviews #mentalhealthmatters
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
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!

Newport 10km 33.37 13th A lovely morning for racing today with blue skies and the sun came out. Had a great race and felt good pushing to see where I'm at and came away with a good time and position looking forward to trying to improve on that in the next race in a couple of weeks.

Newport 10k 2024! - 32:12 - 7th Overall 🤩 Now that is how you come back with a bang! 🔥 Went into todays race with no expectation and just wanted to run hard and set a benchmark for the rest of the summer, so that’s exactly what I did 👊 Starting quickly and soon getting into a good group with @tombaird & @mattverran, we worked well together through the first 7km keeping the pace consistent racing through the new 10k route! Coming into the final few miles, a combination of a tasty headwind and an annoying stitch meant I was at my limit but never gave up, pushing hard and still feeling strong to clock one of my fastest 10k times to date! 🙌 Today was also the first road race that baby Ollie has been able to come along to and it was so nice having him and my wife at the finish line 🥰👶🏻 A great day out for @trihardharriers with some amazing performances right across the board once again! 💙❤️ This is the first of 4 back-to-back race weekends and it couldn’t have started any better! 😍 #roddersruns 10k #runningdad #runitfast #pushyourself #newport10k #eliterunners #believeinyourself #runeveryday #trihardharriers #trihardandsucceed #run4wales #runningjourney #runrunrun #loverunning #asicsrunning #dotherodders #runnersofinstagram #runninginspiration #runningmotivation #runtoinspire #ukrunchat #garminuk #welshrunner #realrunners #runningismytherapy #dadsthatrun #thebestclub #nevergiveup #anythingispossible #ukrunning

The first run back 🫶🏼 Managed to convince @olifisher96 to come for a little trot with me this morning (after about 45 minutes of begging 🙄) and got the first run in my legs since the @londonmarathon one week ago 🤪 2.5 miles at a very relaxed pace, ending at a lovely brunch @thelostelephantskitchen in Camden which was AMAZING!! And definitely some much needed recovery fuel after this hell of a week 😎 The real recovery plan starts tomorrow.

YOUR REMINDER THAT REST IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS MOVING! ☀️👏🏻 Today I had a 9km run on my training plan. Did I do it? Nope 🙃 I woke up absolutely loaded with the cold & I’m on day 3 of heavy antibiotics. My body needed REST and that’s exactly what I’ve chosen to give it 🫶🏻 Sometimes plans need to be changed & switched around. We can have all the best intentions but some things are out of our control. If you don’t listen to your body’s cues, it’ll only cause you more hassle down the road! ♥️ So instead of running, I went for a wander by the water to soak up some vitamin D, and then I had a nap ☺️ I know it’s exactly what my body needs and tomorrow is always a new day 🙌🏻 Happy Sunday you lovely lot 😍 . . . . . #highvibelife #highvibes #walk #walking #walkingaround #walkscotland #explorescotland #sunnywalk #sundaywalk #naturewalk #freshair #getoutside #coastalwalk #ayrshire #training #recovery #ukrunchat #runnersworld #ukrunning #runhappy #igrunningcommunity #instarun #runnersworld #explore #runninginspiration #womenrunning #sunnyday #sunnysunday #rest #restday
That might well be the wettest, coldest and generally worst conditions I’ve raced in yet… but I PBed again!! Stopped the clock today at 53:56 which in the grand scheme of things isn’t setting the world alight but it’s still been gradual increases each time I hit a 10k. The whole team smashed it today. @rachel.jane_ battling through to a new PB too, @lauren._runs overcoming the weather and emotions to get to the finish with her sister (a year on since our first 10k!), @sarahmerrick10 making a big comeback from injury to get it done, and my dad chasing me down for his own PB and getting in just 10 seconds behind. All well rewarded with a wander around the zoo! Going to be a sore one tomorrow!

🏃♂️ parkrun #158 📍Leazes #1 🗺 Location #17 ⏱️31:21 🥇142 /201 Back up to Newcastle on Friday afternoon and a night out with my son and an old University friend, ahead of Sheffield United's visit to St James' Park on Saturday. My son's uni flat is across the road from Leazes Park so a great opportunity to tick off my 2nd parkrun on the Toon and another that backs on to a football stadium (the less said about the one in Sheffield the better!). Slightly hungover, I crossed over to the park, and with fencing going up for a bank holiday concert and trucks and workmen around, I wondered if parkrun was on. But credit to the RD who found out about the works at 9pm Friday night and liaised with the contractors who held off major works until parkrun had taken place. A three lapper, although it didn't feel dullnlike many multi lap courses can. A cold morning but blue skies and I somehow knocked out my quickest 5k since July. The RunnerBlades shirt got plenty of attention and comment, the support and volunteers were great. We will gloss over the afternoon's sporting action which was less positive 😉 #parkrun #parkrunday #parkrunuk #parkrunsaturday #parkrunner #runnerscommunity #runningcommunity #sheffieldrunchat #newcastlerunning #sheffieldrunners #leazespark #leazesparkrun #runningmotivation # #runninginspiration #runninggoals #runningover40 # #runtoinspire #ukrunner #ukrunning #ukrunchat #runnersofig #runnersofinsta #runnersofinstagram #runningrehab #igrunners
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
Shifnal 10k - 44:26! - Fun fact - I’ve never race a 10k until now 🤣 Ran nearly 50 marathons/halves though 😬 Finally took the plunge today and loved every minute (even the ridiculous hills) My ‘dream time’ a 10k has always been sub 45 which seemed impossible when I started running but in my first official attempt I’ve only gone and done it… felt little emotional at the end but I’m so bloody proud of myself right now ☺️🥹🥰 Prefect day of running especially when your running family are there absolutely smashing it as well! Then a pub trip for food to top it off 🤤💚 A prefect way to end a near prefect week if you ask me 🎶🍻🕺🏻🏃🏻♂️💨 Now I need a new target time tor @marketdrayton10k Also need to find the official race photography somehow 😅 - 🏷️ (Below) #runing #runner #run #training #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #motivation #runhappy #lonelygoatre #lonelygoatrunningclub #ukrunning #runningblogger #runnercommunity #2024goals #roadto100 #marathon #medalmonday #raceday #runningformentalhealth #runnersofinsta #runningmotivation #runningismytherapy #heartraterunning #amazingrun #shifinal10k #shifnal #10krun #10kpb #sub45min10k - @b_hartshorne

My first official Pacer role. Coventry Half Marathon. 1.55 and I got it bang on! It was a wet one and some hills but it felt comfortable and easy if I’m honest. Unsure how it wud go as been toying with a niggle in my foot for a while but it stayed away thankfully!

2 weeks of recovery post marathon, featuring lots of coffee, cake and few more trips to the pub than I’m used to 💆🏽♀️ Ready to get stuck back in and find some speed for summer 🌞⚡️ #summeracing #ukrunning
Very happy with my first chipped-time race today at Shifnal 10K! I wanted a sub-hour time so I was super chuffed to get over the line in 54:09 🏃♀️ I was also pleasantly surprised to see that I came 27th in a field of 150 female runners. Running has bought nothing but great things to my life, mentally and physically. Strap those shoes on and get time on your feet 👣 #shifnal10k #running #icanrun #ukrunning #runner
NORFOLK MARATHON ⏱️ 3:56:48 ❌ 2 in 2 weeks and my slowest marathon by a distance but that’s ok That was disgusting! 😂 ridiculously hilly, rank weather and injured! There are no prizes for acting Billy Big Bollocks if you’re not right. Felt decent up to half way! 1:35 then I was just in survival mode! My quad/groin is just pure pain! No excuses I didn’t set out for any ‘time’ or aim today and my incredible club mates dragged me through! Toughest run I’ve ever done, slowest marathon but not disappointed really! Just need a rest mentally and physically! Great to share 14 miles with my old pal @samapplegate10 Well done @epicnorfolk well organised as always but just bloody hard! 😂 #ukrunchat #run #runrunrun #instarunners #runner #running #runstagram #runningcommunity #ukrunchat #ukrunning #runchat #runningman #runningmotivation #marathon #runnnersofinstagram #igrunners #menshealth #mensfitness #fitness #fitnessmotivation #gym #health #healthylifestyle #healthiswealth #healthandwellness #mentalhealth #marathon #runaddict #runninglife

I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST DID THAT😱 That course had so many challenges. There was hill after hill for the first 8 miles, oh and at the finish line too (I mean why?!😅). I had no idea if I was going to manage it, as I'd struggled towards the end of my training with not completing all of my long runs and having various calf/ tibia niggles. But we made it through, in the freezing cold and rain with my wonderful partner @jay_1887 on route💕and my dad too💙And @emilywilsonfitness who is an absolute super star and ran the half marathon as part of my lil team raising money for @ataxia_uk. So proud of you❤️ To @runspace_cat, thankyou for your incredible and scientific running coaching. I had your voice in my head along the route. Oh, and it was perfect weather for ducks🦆☔. And a special thanks to @one_moore_rep_fitness_club who ran with me and paced me for the first 15km. I'm very lucky to have done that with you☺️ And a 7 minute PB too. Gahhh! Time to rest and eat all the food now😂 Just to say, to anyone who is training for or has done a half marathon, they are hard and you're doing incredibly. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!! #coventryhalfmarathon #halfmarathon #ukrunner #ukrunning #running #runner #fitness #fundraiser #charity #hybridathlete
First “long” run since 3rd March. That is how lacklustre my running has been over the past few weeks. But sometimes life gets in this way, and that’s OK. Chest was tight after I’d finished, but felt fine whilst I was out. Need to get back to consistently running and then switch my focus back to longer runs after a few months mainly doing 5Ks. #fartlekfamily #runnersofinstagram #ukrunning #running #whatthefartlek #whatthefartlekpodcast #twistedrunning #noclubrunningclub #wtffamily #findyourtribe
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

Well, what a day! A shiny new PB, with a time I never dreamed I could run. 1:42:37 - a huge 4 minutes 44 seconds off my previous PB, which was only set in February. With the weather forecast being what it was and with it raining upon arrival I had no expectations of a PB today let alone anything like that time. But the rain stopped, the wind dropped and I started well. I decided to go with the strategy of treating it like a 10k and to then see how long I could hang on. I was through 5k in 24 minutes, through 10k in 48 minutes and I expected it to tail off after that. But it didn’t. Managed to keep ticking off the sub 5 minute kms and the 1h 45min pacers (aka @charles_simmonds and @phina_runs) kept gradually getting further behind so I knew if I could keep it going I was on for something special. The support was great despite the weather and rather unlike me I ran with a smile on my face for the last 2kms as opposed to the usual pained grimace. Probably the run of a lifetime and the first time under 1hr 45min which feels great! @worthingrunfest - it was a much improved course this year. Please keep this for next year. However with stories of them running out of medals that’s a schoolboy error! With the Hackney Half next month there is another opportunity soon for a good HM time. #instarunner #ukrunchat #ukrunning #runnersworld #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #runthingsrunclub #runner #worthingrunfest #worthingrunfesthalfmarathon #halfmarathon

#Day2️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ Started early again, got absolutely drenched on my walk to the gym this morning too. Was worth it though as put in a stellar performance then met the girl on her way home. Also managed to use my pace to ensure we made the next bus too. I have my uses.

Boston Marathon UK '24 Character building is how I would describe this race 😅. It was absolutely pissing down from start to finish and the wind was brutal. Single track routes were flooded, which meant wading through them or tackling slubby verges, but I had the best time. Fen flat roads and rain are my bread and butter and I felt great (all things considered). Since my blackout, training went to pot and I think my furthest run was 18mi, so my "goal" was out the window a month ago. Today was about getting around. I don't know what clicked, but I felt great. Like, could have run another 5 miles post race great! 😵💫 I had the best time out there and I had no right to 🙈. Coming away with a sub 3hr 20min wasn't planned, but I'll take it and the confidence that has come with it. 📈
Long run Sunday was a concoction of runs - started out with an 8 mile run with several people from my running club, followed by a 10 miles run with some of the same people and some choosing to do just one of the runs…then a couple of miles solo to run the total up to 20… 😊 • We were all expecting rain, so dressed accordingly - and of course, it didn’t rain at all…fortunately the chilly winds didn’t make us feel too over dressed… 👍🏼 • My run was tough, I had problems with my heart rate racing, even though I was just running slowly - I had to stop a few times to try and get it down…which was a bit worrying… 😕 • I was going to bin the run at 15.5k as it was concerning me and making me pretty lethargic…fortunately the feeling eased off and for the rest of the 10 mile, apart from the odd incident, it didn’t feel too bad… 😐 • I did find it hard on my final solo couple of miles and had to stop frequently - I know this sounds stupid and I just should have stopped and finished my run… 🙄 • First time I e had this sensation apart from a demanding hill or speed session - hope it’s a one off, but I’ll have to closely monitor it… 🤔 . . . #runner #running #instarunners #sundayrunday #runtheworld #runnerscommunity #lovetorun #runnersofinstagram #training #happyrunner #morningrun #ukrunning #runyourworld #igrunners #runnersworld #runnerslife #fitnessjourney #runnersofinsta #runaddict #keeponrunning #fitnessmotivation #runforfitness #runningman #runningmotivation #runselfie #fitspiration #irunspire
A very wet race but different. Starting and finishing by the elephant enclosure at Colchester zoo.

Back with a 19.26 ParkRun yesterday and a 9 mile family run this morning. Legs have recovered really well this time and I’m really excited to get back to training.

#3 Coventry HM in the books! Another wet one 🤦♂️☔️🤣 definitely a case for a snorkel 🤿 and waders! Target 🎯 was under 2 hours and managed that. Some resetting at times but glad to get another HM completed.

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?🤔
@colchester_zoo Stampede 10km! 🐅🐘🐆🦒🦓 ☑️ 🔔 10km PB ‼️‼️ 🔔 Wow!! That race had everything! 😅 Stuck in traffic delays for over an hour. Managed to get to the start line right at the back of the runners and set off with no warm up or preparation! Made my way through the busy crowds, battled against the strong winds and hard rain, charged through the puddles, avoided plenty of pot holes and gave it everything up the last hill! 💪🏻 So happy with that!! 🤩 #running #runner #personalbest #ukrunner #ukrunning #runningmotivation #pb #10km

Can someone PLEASE tell Mother Nature that it’s ok to stop with the rain now! 7 wonderful miles in the pouring rain on the plan (for yesterday 😣) didn’t look at my watch at all, ran completely to feel and just embraced being out and able to run! It felt easy throughout, although I think 7 miles were a little shock to the legs after recovery since a gentle restart to running following the calf injury on NYEE. I’ll never underestimate the power a run has on my mental wellness #irunthisbody #runningformentalwellness #marathontraining #injuredrunner #ukrunning #runningintherain
Well you have to train in all weathers. Cold, windy and April showers were in full force this morning but with another race looming the training still needs to be done. Arranging to run with a pal always helps my motivation to get out there and just under 9 miles done chatting to @gilberthorpesimon made it a great run and ensured we got it done. Was then back home for tea and crumpets 😋 First time out today wearing my @kyloeinthewild water repellent cap #gifted and it worked brilliantly and felt great throughout the run. Would definitely recommend if you like that style of cap. #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #ukrunchat #runningmotivation #running #ukrunning #instarunners #runnersofinsta #marathonrunner #runningtraining #fartlekfamily #twistedrunning #twistedrunner #coopahrunning #runningfriends #sundayrunday #kyloeambassador #kyloeinthewild
Distance from Ashton 4978km Distance from Venice 655km Distance to Istanbul 1121km It was always going to be a big step up from 50k to 50 miles but if you add in the equivalent height gain of Ben Nevis balancing Snowdon on the top and self navigation then it was even more of a challenge. I went really well for the first 30 miles but then a stiffening knee and shin splints (probably from power hiking the very steep uphills) meant the last 20 miles became a slowing walk. The last 5k felt like 20. Fortunately, I had run well at the beginning that I had enough of a time buffer to still crawl to the finish well within the cut off. I even managed to maintain my position for quite a while by not making any navigational cock ups. Eventually myself and another guy teamed up for the last section in the dark, helping each other over all the bloody stiles. 31st place makes it sound like it went better than it did 😁 Thanks again to everyone who sent messages and wrote on my maps. A massive shout out to all the marshals at the checkpoints who were like F1 pit crew - filling bottles and filling me with cake (thanks Jilly). #running #runnersofinstagram #runningmotivation #run #instarunners #ukrunning #ukrunchat #runforlife #runforfun #runtheworld #runtoinspire #colsruntothesun #challengeyourself #rtkit #trailrunning #runningcommunity @runthroughnorthrc @instarunners @runthroughkit @inov_8 #runnerspictures
Newport 10k, couldn't hold 10k pace for more than 2 miles, shoe lace undone at 3 miles, head undone shortly after. Always good and bad runs, first race of the series, so the rest will look better. . . . . . #running #runnersofinstagram #runningcommunity #runtraining #ukrunning #ukrunners #ukrunner #run #runner
@officialbwitc first 10km in the Community race with @burndenroadrunners. And another race in aid of @gutscharityuk . Got there early to avoid the queues and traffic but it was freezing 🥶 😫. The race started from Burnden Wanderers stadium and headed down Chorley New Road towards Bolton. An out and back route with what felt like a gentle hill in both directions 🤣. Decided to try and go for it on this one and ended up with a 10km PB! Chip time 43:11 and position 51, which I'm over the moon with. A great event and well organised. Great to see another big turnout for #burndenroadrunners. Quick shower and change and then heading down south for Leanne's surgery. #run #consistency #willanruns81 #runlife #runhappy #winterrunning #runnorthwest #fitness #runner #runmotivation #exercise #running #runtoinspire #runtomotivate #motivation #morningrun #runningman #ukrun #ukrunning #runnersofinstagram #runeveryday #earlymorningrun #earlymorningworkout #strava #runstreak #ultrarunning #gutsukcharity
