Huge shout out to the St John’s Ambulance team at yesterday’s Hackney Half, not how o planned to end the race but you looked after me so well. Thank you!

When you’re hoping for an easy journey to the start of Hackney Half but Camden Road overground station is closed with no explanation or staff to help. At least Highbury Islington is open, three buses later.

Craving more sun and sea.

Get me back on the beach

Seat allocated is letter C, but there’s no one in a and b - on an otherwise packed flight. What have I done to deserve this. 😍

I made myself get out and run and so glad I did. Cadence focussed recovery run turned into quite focussed technical session. Before and after glow up.

Struggling to find the motivation to run after a disappointing week of injury and under-training. Words of encouragement and validation welcomed.

Run run run

This was quite popular…

The knee’s still playing up so we do upper body on a Wednesday morning now.

Trusting the cut. Half way through the process

Giving the Lycra shorts a rest day and breaking in new training shoes

Blue look for leg day

Running a half marathon in just under 10 weeks. Been focusing on a rotation of Threshold, vO2 Max and Long runs, with a goal of running under 1:30. Anyone got any tips for this? Still strength training 3 days a week and in a calorie deficit (but I think o might need a bit more fuel)…

Upper body after almost a week. 💪

What do you think of this run look?
