No one prepares you for this part of marathon day 😂

You think you’re just going to stand there with your family, clap, cheer people on

and then suddenly there’s a confetti cannon going off right next to your head, I swear there were about 20 of them đŸ˜± 😂

But honestly - I wouldn’t change it.
The atmosphere, the energy, the people
 it’s unreal.

Watching so many runners push through, seeing the emotion on their faces
 it gets me every time đŸ„č

👉 Were you running or cheering this weekend?

The scales haven’t moved in 2 weeks

and you’re starting to wonder if it’s even working anymore.

I get it.
This is usually the point where people either
start slashing calories

or think “what’s the point?” and give up.

But can I be really honest with you?

Most of the time
 it’s not that you’re not making progress.
It’s that the scale just isn’t showing it yet.

Because your body doesn’t work in a neat, linear way.

You might be:

* holding onto water from harder training
* eating a bit more carbs (which is a good thing for running, by the way)
* stressed, tired, juggling everything
* about to come on your period
* or literally just need the toilet

None of that is fat gain.
But all of it can keep the number exactly the same.

And this is where it goes wrong


You panic.
You eat less.
You push harder.


and actually make things worse.

When really, this is the moment to zoom out, not tighten up.

Look at what’s actually changed:

* Are your runs feeling stronger?
* Are you recovering better?
* Do your clothes fit differently?
* Are you more consistent than you were a few weeks ago?

Because that’s where the real progress is happening.

Fat loss doesn’t show up perfectly on a scale every week.
But it is happening when you’re doing the right things consistently.

So before you decide “it’s not working”


give it a bit more time.
Trust the process a little longer.

You’re probably closer than you think.

Save this for the next time the scale messes with your head ❀

Running more
 eating better

so why does it feel like nothing’s changing?

This is one of the most common things I see with runners.

You’re consistent.
You’re trying.
You’re doing what you think is right



but your body isn’t getting what it actually needs.

So you end up:

* constantly hungry
* low on energy
* and frustrated that the results aren’t matching the effort

It’s not a motivation problem.
It’s a fuelling problem.

I’m breaking this down properly this week - follow along if you want to finally get it right 💗

Can’t wait to cheer you on! 💗💗💗💗💗

To everyone running tomorrow - go and be amazing!!!

I’ll be at mile 18 with the . Probably crying a little bit as I get very emotional watching these things đŸ„č

You’ve all worked so hard. Those early mornings, those tired runs before or after work, trying to fit training in around family, work, social lives. Running when it’s too hot, running when it’s too cold, when it’s raining, when it’s windy, you’ve battled through all of that. Now go and enjoy your victory lap. You’ve got this, you amazing human 💗💗💗💗

Carb loading doesn’t start the night before 👇

If you’re running this weekend, here’s what to actually do over the next few days:

Start 2–3 days out - not the night before.

At meals, shift your plate so about half is carbs.
Think bigger portions of pasta, rice, potatoes, bread - and slightly less protein and veg to make room.

You don’t need to force huge meals -
it’s more about adding carbs little and often across the day.

So that looks like:

* an extra slice of toast at breakfast
* a bagel or flapjack between meals
* adding rice or potatoes alongside meals you’d normally keep lighter

Snacks are your secret weapon here -
don’t rely on just your main meals.

And the day before?
You can relax into it a bit more.
Enjoy the extra carbs - yes, even the “fun” ones like pizza or cake.

If you feel a bit bloated or heavier - that’s normal.
That’s glycogen + water, and it’s exactly what will carry you through race day.

Fuel properly now
 so you don’t pay for it at mile 18.

If you want my exact carb loading plan (what to eat, when, and how much),
drop me CARBS and I’ll send it over 💗

Everyone says cut fibre before race day
 but that’s not always the right move 👀

The blanket advice is everywhere:
“Cut fibre 2–3 days before your race.”

And yes - for some runners, that works brilliantly.

But if you’re someone who:

* relies on fibre to go to the toilet
* has a “race morning routine” that depends on it đŸ’©
* feels backed up when you reduce it

Then cutting fibre completely could actually leave you feeling worse on the start line.

Bloated. Uncomfortable. Still needing to go
 but can’t.

Not ideal 😅

This is where you need to know your body, not just follow generic advice.

For some runners, keeping a consistent, moderate fibre intake right up to race day is exactly what helps everything
 er, move 👌

It’s not about doing the “perfect” plan on paper -
it’s about doing what works for you.

Because the goal isn’t just to fuel well

it’s to feel good, comfortable, and confident on that start line.

If you’re not sure whether you should be cutting fibre or not before your race, message me “FIBRE” and I’ll help you figure it out 💕

If you’re running London this weekend
 don’t guess your fuelling!

Most runners don’t hit the wall because they’re unfit -
they hit it because they’ve under-fuelled.

Start your gels at 30 minutes in
Stay consistent
Don’t wait until you feel tired (you won’t catch up)

Small things like this make a huge difference to how you feel in the second half of the race.

If you’re ready to stop guessing your fuelling and actually get it right
 you know where I am 💗

POV: You spend most of your life in running kit
 until you have to dress like a professional 😅

Popping into town today because I’ve got a corporate talk in London on Friday - and turns out running shorts or jeans might not quite cut it!

This is the reality of juggling it all though - school runs, training, clients, trying to build a business
 and somewhere in there, remembering you need an outfit that isn’t activewear.

But I wouldn’t have it any other way 💗💗

Also
 slightly ironic that I’ll be talking about fuelling productivity, when I nearly didn’t have anything to wear to do it 😂

If you’re a runner trying to balance life, training and looking after yourself properly - I see you.

And if you want help getting your nutrition to actually support all of that (without overthinking it), that’s exactly what I do.

DM me “FUEL” or head to the link in my bio 💗

You can do everything right
 and still need to adjust.

That’s something marathon training teaches you very quickly.

This week, I chose not to start a race.

Not because I couldn’t

But because I listened.

Marathon training isn’t just about hitting the miles.
It’s about recovery, fuelling, strength, and everything else going on in your life.

And sometimes the strongest decision you can make

is not pushing through.

If you’re heading into London this week - remember this.

And if you want help fuelling it properly, DM me FUEL 💗

I was supposed to run a marathon today
 but I didn’t start.

Not because I couldn’t push through -
but because I chose not to.

A year ago, I would’ve forced it.
Ignored the exhaustion.
Proved something.

But this week
 I’ve been stretched thin.
Work, kids, life
 just a lot.

I went for a run on Thursday and managed 2 miles.
And deep down, I knew.

This body isn’t ready.

And for the first time
 I actually listened.

So instead

I met a friend for lunch in the sunshine.
Jogged gently along the seafront - my happy place.
And today, I’ll soak up the sun with my kids.

Because I love running.
But I love my life more.

And maybe this is what midlife running really looks like


Not chasing who you used to be -
but learning to respect who you are now.

This one wasn’t easy to say out loud.

There’s still a part of me that thinks I should have done it.
Pushed through. Got it done.

But I’m learning that not everything needs to be pushed through.

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is choose rest.
Choose joy.
Choose the life you’ve built.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone 💗
Share with a friend who needs to see this today 💗💗

You are still allowed big goals.

Even in midlife.
Even in perimenopause.
Even if your body feels different right now.
Even if progress feels slower than it used to.
Even if confidence has taken a knock.

So many women think they need to settle for less at this stage of life.

Less energy.
Less strength.
Less confidence.
Less ambition.

I don’t believe that.

You may need a different strategy now - smarter nutrition, strength training, better recovery, stress management, consistency.

But wanting more for yourself? That never expired.

You are still allowed to feel strong.
You are still allowed to want fat loss.
You are still allowed to run races, build muscle, wear what you want and feel proud of yourself.

Big goals are not just for your younger years.
