Woohoo! My legs took me 25.6miles, just shy of a marathon.

Started at 7.50 am - crossed the finish line at 2.20pm - A respectable 6.5hrs (pit stops included) on my feet!

Kept good form.with my WalkActive pace the whole way, and guess what, some commented on what a stride I had! Come try it said!!

I ended up with the most swollen hands, and even my tricks couldn't put the lymph at bay! Just about see my knuckles now!

One thing i wasn't prepared for was pain felt in my left foot as I depressed the clutch to start the car (and then gears) - holy bananas that's a shock...I knew they were feeling it 20 miles in, getting tender in my ...

All that aside. I did this for all those who can't walk very far because the drugs affect their joints - i now have a deeper appreciation of how that must feel.
And because does a fantastic job, not just on the front line but also with their information database, helping the individual, the employer, the families etc...
Just AMAZING.

It was worth every ounce of ache!!
Huge thanks to those who did sponsor me - £1200+ 🤩🙏🏽✅️🔥

Here's to all the prep work and now for a long soak in the bath with a coffee & truffle!! 😋🛁



NB: annoyingly had a meltdown so looks like i got a helicopter ride and skipped a few miles!

I've trained for months.
I've hiked miles (so have the dogs).
I've sussed out my hydration
I've nailed my nutrition
I've supported my body with strength training and Pilates.
I'm as ready as I'll ever be to walk this marathon.

A shout out to all those who have sponsored me, it's helped with my motivation and tomorrow. Thank you. 🤗

I'll share my strava route tomorrow - you'll want proof right!

Last of the Mighty Hike Marathon training today, lowered the miles right down to preserve the legs and energy for the main event next weekend.

Kept my WalkActive pace going throughout. Just hoping this weather cools a tad!!

I used to say “muscle weighs more than fat.”
But where the hell did I get that from?!
Probably another well-meaning fitness pro parroting this myth has been around for decades!

Let’s clear it up:
1kg of muscle weighs exactly the same as 1kg of fat. (Shocking, I know. Maths is wild. How daft do i feel?)

Muscle is denser than fat — about 18% denser — so it takes up less space. That’s why someone can weigh the same (or more) but look smaller, feel stronger, and have jeans that practically high-five their glutes.

Yes, I weigh myself occasionally—but I’m not glued to the number.
Because the scale can’t tell me if I’ve got more energy, better posture, or can carry all the bags in from Ocado in one go!

Thank you so much if you have sponsored me. It helps the motivation and, more importantly, knowing we're helping those who need it. 💛

Last 18mile+ before the event, I'll taper my weekend hikes down to 14, then 8, then 💥!

Picturesque through Blenheim, Ditchley, and Stonesfield, and easy terrain.

Recovery for me is the most important thing with training, and combined with strength training in the week and my usual dog walks, it appears to be working!

Happy hiking, all.

So you've had a couple of weeks to think about it...what does your year look like ahead? A repeat of last year?

👎🏼 Sofa hugging with little to no exercise
👎🏼 Tomorrow, tomorrow!
👎🏼 Continued self-sabotage
👎🏼 Not rallying the support from those around you
Etc...

You know what you need to change, so buckle up and make a difference to your life (& those around you).

👌🏽Get moving more
👌🏽Today is the best day to start
👌🏽 Self-discipline is the most excellent form of self-respect
👌🏽Tell those around you, your plan, get the help too

I'm here to help too.
Try Pilates, Strength training, WalkActive

✨️You can do this...dig deep....'Arise! Go Forth and Conquer!'
