Nothing like a bit of Saturday parkrun tourism! Good times were had 👏🏼 So worth the 4.50am start 🤣

Been dying to get down to the OG parkrun Bushy and finally that happened. Perfect weather for it too ☀️

Only a measly 1,819 runners attended yesterday 😮‍💨 So to walk away with position 272 and 2nd in age catergory, I’ll take that.

Kinda wanted to race it, kinda wanted to enjoy it. So I dabbled with a bit of both.

Deffo one to add to the tourism list if you haven’t!

Sometimes letting go is the secret weapon 🏃🏼‍♀️💨

After racing Folkestone 10k at the end of May, and it being windy as hell, I had a hunger to grind some gears again and see what else was in the 10k tank⛽️

Don’t get me wrong I was super pleased with my performance that day-considering the wind. Looking back I think it played to my advantage. But I knew there was more to come 👀

I hadn’t really tapered for this race, hitting a hyrox session on Friday with and a cheeky 8k with parkrun in the middle on Saturday. So I just took the expectations off but knew I wanted to work hard.

Old me would have been super anxious about performing, to the point I hated racing and would cry on the start line wondering why I’d put myself there. I’ve really worked on that in the past year and switched up the narrative. It’s really not that deep, yeah I train hard but I’m here to have FUN.

And fun was had! 🥳 Well, that’s a lie as at 3k I was thinking FML how am I gonna survive this, my legs have nothing to give. Lungs wanted it though 🫁 Plus seeing so many friendly faces on the course kept the heart full too ❤️

I held strong using a few of my fav strategies… I pick a few targets and hold them, I like to pretend I’m finding it easy so they graft to hold me, but secretly I’m putting them to work to keep me going 😈 I also love cheering on other people, helps keep me in the game and I get such a buzz from it. Oh and SMILING lots, even when it feels hard.

Yesterday I walked away feeling so proud of myself, I can do hard things! Oh and let’s not forget to mention the cheeky 40 second PB 🤭

I think there’s one more 10k left in me for this year, then we’re gonna change up the goal for December 🤔

I almost DNF’d…

10k is such a nemesis of a race for many. The distance is brutal, basically a 5k but holding on for dear life, and I’m not very good at that. The mental game is real 🤯

I booked .hatch10k because it looked like a fun course, thought it would bring good vibes and ultimately be a solid flat course to PB.

Fast forward to the week of the race, I over do it at the gym and end up stuck in bed with a bad back. Not ideal. But rest is a wonderful thing and I was fortunate enough to bounce back with putting in a bit of work.

It also comes to light that the course is in fact not flat and very… not ideal but I could work with that. Considering my back I decided to not fully race, show up and have fun instead.

As soon as I arrived and latched eyes on the course, I realised I’d made a mistake. It was a beast. Hills galore 🙃

Not even a mile in I’m thinking f*ck this. I had nothing to give. My hammies never showed up, I felt the fatigue kick in too quick. I know I said 10k is a tough but I wasn’t even going for race pace 🙃

I was fully ready to give up after the first lap. Kept telling myself I couldn’t do it. So I had to fight through that one to get to the end, and with a lot of walking I got it done. 👀

So note to self, practise hills more…

On a positive, what a bloody vibe that race is. Incredibly well organised, but people who are clearly passionate. Highly recommend if you’re not phased by a hill or 10 🤭

Now I need to go again, book something a little flatter. See where the speed is at 🏎️💨

It’s amazing what a few days in the sun can do! ☀️ Although that heat was something else, hitting 45d at times 🥵

Tan sufficiently topped up, feeling refreshed and ready to smash some big personal goals 🥳

Let’s goooo

🏃🏼‍♀️🥗🏋🏼‍♀️🍓✨

Swipey swipe to see my running tool kit 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️🧰➡️

1) Comfy shoes are a must. If you’re not feeling comfortable on a run, it’s no fun!
2) Fuel is e s s e n t i a l ! Especially before. I used to train fasted all the time but no more because I notice such a positive impact when I’ve eaten something. Even if it’s small 🍌
3) This one’s quite personal because it’s totally okay to run without a plan. But for me I want to progress and without structure I get complacent and end up doing a lot of beige running 🤭
4) Sorry runners but strength training is always gonna be on my list, it’s the physio in me 👀
5) Not essential but if it’s not on strava it doesn’t count. Just saying…
6) All little bit of determination gets you a long way ✨ You want something, you go get it!

Lemme know what’s missing, what’s in your toolkit?

May Moments 💓🍃🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️🍹

The month the sun came back, adventures were had, PB’s smashed and Aperol became my source of hydration. Oh and I’m fully@embraced the pistachio hype 🤤

Forever grateful to be surrounded by wonder people who make life so much damn fun!

If you swiped to the end, you made it to the best photo 🐾👏🏼

Long time no Medal Monday! Pleased to report that this one includes a juicy PB despite the costal breeze, or hurricane should I say! 💨

Never gifted with still air when racing in Folkestone but that didn’t deter me yesterday. Well at mile 3 it did, I thought I was dying ☠️ and completely off pace…

I didn’t manage to hit pace for the first three miles! Purely because I spent the first mile trying to weave through a very heavy pack of runners. Deffo started too far back, despite me trying to make my way forward.

Somehow I managed to pull it back on the second half and negative split it. Quietly frankly after the turning point, it felt like a different race!

Running through the line smiling is what it’s all about! Maybe the PB helped a tad with that 🤭

Onto the next 🎯

Tiramisu Overnight Oats 😮‍💨

I hate to brag but I’m off to Rome next week 🇮🇹👀 So what best way to get me in the mood than make some tiramisu oats!

These are the perfect post workout fuel, keeps you full but also super delish 👌🏼

For the oats:
1 cup Super Oats
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
2 tbsp brewed coffee (cooled)
1 tbsp maple syrup or flan drops if you have them
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

For the creamy layer:
1/4 cup Thick coconut yoghurt
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
1 tsp maple syrup or a few drops of vanilla

Toppings (optional but added yum):
Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Dark chocolate chunks

Now I must get back to packing! 🤪✈️🇮🇹🍕

If I could go back, I’d tell myself… Well swipe to see all the things I wish I knew sooner.

Battling with your body is no fun. So when you realise, and I mean truly take on board that there’s way more to life than looking a certain way. You begin to see things differently, you’re almost set free.

You learn to love yourself a little bit more each day. You start seeing fitness in a different light. You begin to explore what you’re capable of.

I’m grateful of this journey, but it certainly is a rough ride. Not everyday is easy, but there’s certainly days it’s easier.

Aprils delights 🍭🐄🍵🍪🐾🌅💚💐👑

Packed with the usual culprits: coffee, cookies, running, dogs. But let’s add some glorious sunsets and dodgy tan lines…

Countdown is on till Rome! 🇮🇹 Just two weeks until my bestie and I consume copious amounts of carbs and aperol. Cannot wait! 🍕🍝☀️🍹

P.s. the last pic is a personal fav 🤭🦆🫧

I’m giving Easter egg in that first photo 🥚🤣

Just some snippets from the bank holibobs. Where the heck did that weekend go? I need more time off! There’s still eggs to be eaten… Also the Sunday scaries hit real hard yesterday, wow!

Oh and if it isn’t clear by now, my life is pretty much running and eating good food 🤤

20/04/2025

Hot Cross Bun Season is the BEST season, there’s no doubt about that! So good I had to make them into cookies 🍪

FYI: baking HCB is a lot of effort, hence a cookie. Way easier 😅 and these turned out better than I could have ever imagined

Now I can have those delightful spicy buns all year round 👀

I hope you’re all having a wonderful Easter gorg people 🐣 may your hearts be full and tummies fuller 🤭
