Do you stop to get the hair off or do you try to keep going and not break rhythm??

As a client do you even feel it?
These are big questions people!!

Everyone talks about pace and PBs,but the truth is — running isn’t just about time.

It’s about showing up when you didn’t feel like it.
It’s about your mindset getting stronger every week.
It’s about the runs where you prove to yourself that you can.

Your “wins” aren’t just the seconds you shave off — they’re the confidence, the consistency, and the courage you build along the way.

If you need help with your running — whether you’re chasing your first 5k or your next marathon — I’ve got you.
Let’s celebrate every kind of progress together. Drip me a DM and let's 🏃‍♀️

You Can’t Outrun a Bad Diet

🏃‍♀️ Many people turn to long-distance running to “burn off” calories… but here’s the truth: running is not a magic weight-loss program.

🔥 While endurance training does burn energy, your body quickly adapts. Running longer and harder often just makes you hungrier — and without proper nutrition, it’s easy to eat back (or overeat) what you burned.

🍎 Weight management is far more influenced by overall nutrition than the kilometres you log. You can’t rely on running alone to create a healthy body composition.

💡 Instead, focus on:

Adequate fuelling → Running on empty leads to fatigue, poor recovery, and injury risk.
Balanced nutrition → Prioritise whole foods, protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats.
Smart training → Running builds endurance, strength, and mental resilience—but it’s not the whole equation.

✨ Remember: Run to build fitness, fuel to support performance, and nourish your body for health.

What gear do you use when doing an Ultra Marathon?

Trail Runners: I run in New Balance Hierros mostly. But the type of course will determine the runner..for open mountains I use Inov8 Mudtalons, for shorter races I use Salomon Speedcross.

Clothing: I love the Energetics shorts and tshirts from Intersport Elverys, long shorts, so comfy and don't budge.

Running Bag: Ultimate Direction Race Vesta 6.0. This bag has seen me through so many races. Comfortable, loads of storage and breathable.

Client: What are you training for?
Me: A 100k Ultra in Arizona.
Client: How do you train for that?
Me: Let me tell you.

Monday: Rest Day - I focus on recovery. I go for a Sports Massage every 2 weeks.

Tuesday: 1 hour trail run , usually speed work with Zone 2 running warm up and cool down.

Wednesday: 45 minute easy run followed by 30 minutes in the sauna

Thursday: 1 hour easy trail run followed by strengthening exercises at home.

Friday: Rest Day, I use the recovery boots from Brisk walk for active recovery.

Saturday: Long Trail Run with a sprinkling of speed work. Typically Tempo Intervals of varying times, total run time can be from 90 mins to 5 hours, depending on training cycle.

Sunday: Recovery/Endurance Run depending on how close to race day time can vary from 1-3 hours.
And I finish off my Sunday with an Epsom Salt Bath.
Along with quality sleep, nutrition and hydration I am able to sustain this training load while working my very physical day job as a Sports Massage Therapist.
