I'm in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 so why not

Morning 😊 I had a good meal last night & slept well. Might try a run after work

First run in a week 🏃‍♀️ Proper head clearing Half. Needed that. Wore my London Marathon finisher's top to remind me I am strong ❤️ #running

This week bar the week when I lost my Dad as a child has been the worst of my life. I have been treated appalling by a person who says they love me to bits. I reached rock bottom today, had dark thoughts 😔 but managed to drag myself out of bed to a job. 1/2

Friday fun with the cool dude 🥰 Walk to the shops. The Morrison's cat got a few biscuits 🐈‍⬛️ Back for brunch & before it got too hot 🙏

My boy dipped under 22 minutes last night 👊 #running As for me I did a 30 minute easy as run 🏃‍♀️ before work & upper body strength after work 💪

I've taken on a new job at work, which is good & I get to do some of the work at home. Busy but I'm getting my runs in. 7 miles last night 👕😅 & 7 miles on a new route this morning 🏃‍♀️ #running #Eyeontheprize 🇮🇹

5 mile run with hill reps in the middle. I need to ease up a bit on the first one as it had a knock on effect on the rest 😉 but a good honest session 🤪 This was followed by an hour of heavy weights 🏋‍♀️ single leg press today. That's me finished for the week as it's a rest day tomorrow 🙏 #running 🏃‍♀️

Friday fun with little man 🥰 4 miles dodging showers 🌦 under trees & subways 😅🥰 #walking

Busy working day with a long commute 😔 Tired tempo but managed to get ✌️ ticks ✅️✅️ #running

Less than 200 days now 😃 My running is building nicely alongside strength. 22.5 🏃‍♀️ miles so far this week, with tempo, hill reps & heavy weights left to go... & 2 days rest 🙏 #Eyeontheprize #running #runninggoals 🇮🇹

Good solid 10 miler this morning 🏃‍♀️ #running

7 miles of short intervals with company 🏃‍♀️🏃 had fun in the sun 😅 Plan said easy, had a good leg stretch but also kept the run in my low aerobic zone, picking up the pace towards the end 😜 #running 1/2

April was a good month 🙏 long May it continue #running 🏃‍♀️

Dora's evening walkies 🤩 & to report that I'm not too bad this morning abs are aby, arms are achy back is burny 🔥 (in a good way) 😅 but legs are ok 🤔🫠

Had the gym to myself today 😅 solid weights session sandwiched between 2x 3 mile runs 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I intend to do this once a week. This is on top of the basic strength I already do. I will see how my body reacts & if it's too much I will split the session to 2 days, 1 push, 1 pull 🏋‍♀️ #running #strongnotskinny

Another 3 day run rest as recovery is just as important as training 😴 Back on it today, 3 easyish miles 💨🏃‍♀️ sandwiched between 2 strength sessions 🏋‍♀️ & Dora doing her own thing during yesterday's walkies 🐾 #running

There has been progress 🙌 That's my boy 🥳 #running As for me, after doing a reverse taper from my ultra last week I decided to give myself a couple of extra days rest this week 🫠

No long run for me yesterday but I walked in total 16.5 miles. I had the best day cheering on the masses 📢 You all did amazingly 🏅 I was also lucky enough to see history being made. The elite flew by, they were unreal 🏃🏃‍♀️🔥 London really does know how to party 🇬🇧 #londonmarathon 🫶

Amazing 🤩 #londonmarathon 🇬🇧

That's my boy 😊📷

Perfect running weather 👌 London bound with my boys 🥰 Good luck everyone 🏃‍♀️🏃 #londonmarathon 🇬🇧

Love seeing this 🫶 this is my youngest 🏃 my biggest fan 🥰 #running #legacy 🤞

Incredible watch. A love letter to the back of the packers. Every runner has their reasons for doing hard things. Whether their first 5K or Cocodona. If I could capture and interweave all those stories at a race, I would. There's this deep emotional thruline at its core. A lot of joy, hope, & love.

Lovely out 😎

WFH today so no commute 🙏 & time for a run 🏃‍♀️ no progression as I'm still in recovery but my graph was almost symmetrical 😅 Kept the run HR 💚 zone 1/2 easy. Doesn't my Dora look all posh in her handmade collar from the Cowdray Castle farm shop 😍 #running

Recovery is going well 😋 After 3 days of rest I felt like a run 🏃‍♀️ 6 sunny miles with some up & down ⬆️⬇️ but not too much & no speed 😜 #running

Medal Monday 🏅 & it's gone on my PB rail 🤩 Still waiting for a race photo so you've got the map #MedalMonday #running 🏃‍♀️ #Ultra

Sorry about the radio silence. Needed a proper recovery day but am feeling much better now 🙏 Thank you all for your lovely comments & support 🥰 So proud of myself 🥲 Can't believe I am an Ultra Marathoner 😃 #running 🏃‍♀️

PB's Distance & Elevation 🥳🥳 More tomorrow but didn't need the head torch 👍 #running

Flat lay with a difference 😆 Confident that I won't get lost as the ribbons are everywhere 😃 praying I won't need the headtorch, first aid kit or safety blanket. One things for sure I won't be going hungry 😉 The deer 🦌 was spotted from my bedroom window & the weather looks good 🙏 #Ultra #running 🏃‍♀️

Stroll to the shops & back with little man 🥰🐈‍⬛👈😆 Hoping that he doesn't run me ragged as I have a busy weekend ahead of me 🏃‍♀️

2 shorter, flatter 3+ mile runs 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ this week. Just keeping the legs turning over without adding fatigue #Taper #running

3 mile walk before work #walking
