📍Lands End Parkrun

Back at it being a park run tourist again👏🏼🙌🏼 and this weekend was a visit down to Land’s End to make the most of the Cornish coast before it gets too busy in the summer months ✅

Fortunately the rain held off for us 🙌🏼 & we had a lovely stroll around admiring the coastal views 🌊😍

A must if you’re down in Cornwall for the weekend! 👏🏼🫶🏼

Park run fuel:
🍞 ~60 minutes before: chocolate chip brioche rolls (we stayed in a hostel the night before so nice and easy to take with us)
☕️ Post: coffee & lemon cake ofc followed by a hearty lunch later on⚡️

Let me know which parkrun we should try next ⬇️

Women are chronically underfuelled — and most don’t even realise it 👀

Years of diet culture have taught women to:
⬇️ Eat less
❌ Ignore hunger
😳 Fear carbs
⏳ Shrink their bodies

But your body isn’t designed to run on restriction 😴⛔️

Underfuelling can lead to fatigue, hormonal disruption, poor training performance, food obsession, and low energy 😮

Food is not something you have to “earn”
It’s fuel⚡️- for our bodies and minds 🫶🏼

This International Women’s Day I want to encourage more women to nourish their bodies properly and step away from the pressure to constantly eat less 🙌🏼

To support this, I’m offering 20% off all services booked via my website - link in bio 🔗

Use code: FUELLEDWOMEN
Valid for the next 48 hours

Let’s help more women feel energised, strong and properly fuelled ⚡️👏🏼

🪫 Low Energy Availability - one of the most under recognised issues in athletes

It doesn’t always look extreme & it doesn’t always affect elite athletes 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️

It can happen when you’re:
🏋️‍♀️ Training consistently
🥗 Trying to eat ‘healthy’
📆 Managing a busy life
📉 Dieting while exercising

If your body doesn’t have enough energy left after exercise to support basic psychological function, it starts adapting ♻️

That adaption can look like:
💤 Fatigue
🛑 Hormone disruption
🩸 Irregular menstrual cycle
🪫 Poor recovery
😕 Low mood
🤕 Increased risk of injury and illness

Your body isn’t broken, it’s protecting you 🛡️

Fuel is not optional - it’s essential for performance and long term health 🩺👋🏼

If this sounds like something you need help with DM me FUEL and let’s get you at your best ✅🙌🏼

🌱 January 26 🌱

A month of growing & hitting goals ✅

Some highlights:
🏃‍♀️Getting back into running & ending the month with 11.5km run - which I never would’ve imagined on the 1st Jan, lots of focus on staying consistent and even the short runs/workouts counting for this to happen ✅
🏔️Lots of hiking - including a gorgeous weekend in the Brecon Beacons seeing some amazing views 😍
🪩 tickets secured for June - anytime I complain about anything, please remind me of this 😅😂
💭 Vision board creating - setting some goals and aspirations for 2026, it’s gonna be a good one 🫶🏼

🩵 Nov 25 🩵

The month of slowing down 😌🫶🏼

Honestly this month has absolutely passed me by 😅 how is it December tomorrow!?! 🎄❄️🎁

Some highlights ✨
🤍 Most gorg gals weekend away in Poole
🍃 Countryside wanders with friends
🥪 best sandwich ever from 😍
💇🏼‍♀️ Chopped my hair off
🏃‍♀️ Getting back to some consistency with the gym and running (apart from this last week where I’ve been feeling absolutely rotten 🤧🥲)
📚 Started the last masters module of 2025 (and last one for a while…)

What’ve you been up to this month? 🫶🏼

👋🏼 A little bit about me…

It’s been a while and there are a few new faces round here (welcome!) so let me give a brief introduction to myself & why I do what I do 🫶🏼

First of I love a bit of gym, running, yoga, and spending time with my gorg friends 🤍 (when I do get free time 😅)

I started this page way back in first year of uni (2020 😮) during covid sharing recipes & nutrition tips with no aim - just a bit of fun (and distraction from doing uni work 😂)

Once I’d graduated, the page became dietitianellen to reflect my new status 💁🏼‍♀️😮‍💨 and the page shifted towards nutrition tips alongside sharing the odd recipe 🥘

While in my final year of uni, I completed my first half marathon 🏃‍♀️🙌🏼 however lost 5kg due to under-eating, and had no fueling strategy (other than scranning a few jelly babies) which resulted in me hitting ‘the wall’ and coming short of my goal time by 6 minutes ⏳🥲 - despite being an almost qualified dietitian, I knew nothing about Sports Nutrition other than what I’d learnt from Instagram 🤷🏼‍♀️

Since graduating, I’ve completed my PgCert in Sports Nutrition and really solidified the power of nutrition in this area. Adequate fueling isn’t an added bonus within sports, it’s essential - even for those who consider themselves amateur athletes 🫡

Under-nourishment can have long term consequences on our health and performance - I’ve learnt that the hard way, and I want to help others to prevent this happening to them ❤️

Join me on my journey & hopefully I can help you on yours 🏅
