I do like an early start 🏃 There’s something quite calm and peaceful about running in the dark before the world wakes up! #running #fitness

Morning runs really are the best on days like today! It was a nice steady zone 2 10km jaunt with the kind of fresh, clear morning that makes you grateful to be out. I enjoyed every minute of this one🏃‍♂️ #running #fitness

Headed out for a longer run this morning along one of my favourite routes through Ironbridge Gorge. It’s a beautiful ‘semi-trail’ mix of woodland paths and riverside stretches beside the Severn. Always the best way to start a Sunday. 🏃‍♂️🌿 #running #fitness

There’s no better way to start the weekend than with a run. Fresh air, moving legs and a clear head sets the tone for everything that follows. Starting strong makes the whole weekend feel great. 🏃‍♂️ #running #fitness

Running rest day today, but it’s still good to keep the body moving. Swapped the shoes for the old retro 1980s bike so just an easy 10km, all in zone 2 HR ♥️ Recovery with a touch of activity! #cycling #fitness #exercise

It was wet, it was windy, and it definitely wasn’t perfect running weather today. But, running in less-than-ideal conditions builds more than just physical strength, it builds determination. Don’t let the weather hold you back. Get out there! Every run counts, rain or shine 🏃 #running #fitness

Mixing things up on your runs isn’t just good for training, it keeps it fun 👍 Variety keeps running fresh and interesting. Your body adapts, your mind stays engaged, and you’re less likely to get stuck in a rut. Keep it different, keep it fun, keep running 🏃‍♂️ #running #fitness

A beautiful morning run through Ironbridge Gorge 🇬🇧 and a steady 10km in the bag today. The autumn chill is starting to creep in now, but it makes the miles even more refreshing 🍂 #running #fitness #runners

Wrapped up the week with a steady paced five mile run 🏃‍♂️ Nothing like ending strong and heading into the weekend feeling energised. Let’s keep the momentum rolling and have great day everyone 😀 #Running #Fitness

There’s a special kind of joy in riding a vintage steel bike from 1983 🚴‍♂️ Sure, it’s a bit heavy and the brakes aren’t perfect, but nothing beats the feeling of fresh air and pure simplicity. Who needs a fancy modern ride when you can go full-on retro 80s and love every mile? #cycling #fitness

It’s not about running the fastest today or the furthest tomorrow. It’s about showing up and putting one foot in front of another. Progress in running doesn’t come from one perfect session, but from the countless miles where you kept moving and didn’t make excuses 🏃 Keep going🌟 #running #fitness

Went out with no plan this morning and ended up running a 10K tempo. Every step felt amazing 👌 It’s often these unplanned runs that remind me why I love running so much 🏃 #running #fitness

Starting Monday the best way I know, with some gentle miles to ease into the week 🏃‍♂️ Keeping it steady and relaxed, just enjoying the movement and setting a positive tone for everything ahead. Consistency over intensity! #running #fitness

Warmer than expected this morning - but a lovely start to the day and making up my weekly mileage target 🎯 I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday everyone. #running #fitness

The same routes can get stale 🥱 Mix it up… reverse them, explore new paths, or chase a Strava PB! Little changes keep running fun and motivating 👍 #running #fitness

I’m really enjoying this cooler weather as running feels so much better. The air is fresher, the miles feel easier, and it just makes getting out there way more fun! Do you prefer warm runs or cold runs? #running #fitness

Rain is never an excuse. 🌧️ Some of the best runs you’ll ever have are in the worst conditions. The sound of the rain and the determination it takes to keep moving all builds toughness. Embrace it! The run you almost skipped could be the one that leaves you feeling unstoppable! #running #fitness

5 miles to kick off the week ✨ Mondays set the tone, and today reminded me that progress is about consistency, not perfection. Each run builds strength, discipline, and endurance. Happy with the cooler weather, a steady pace, and the chance to start the week moving forward 🏃 #running #fitness

I love getting up early and starting these cooler days with a run. There’s something about the fresher air and quiet streets that clears my head and sets me up perfectly for the day ahead. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone ☺️ #running #fitness

This morning was a visit to Wolverhampton West Parkrun. A pleasant 3 lap course around a lovely park. It wasn’t the comfiest today, but still happy with a sub 23 minute run ( and 3rd in my age category ☺️) However, a Parkrun is always a great way to start the weekend! 🏃 #Running #parkrun #fitness

Had a great run this morning! Some days the miles just feel right, and today was one of those days. Feeling refreshed and ready to take on whatever comes next 👍 What events do you have coming up in the Autumn? 🍂 #Running #Motivation #fitness

Some days, just putting your running shoes on feels like the hardest part. Your energy is low and excuses start stacking up. But, you’ll never regret getting out the door. Even on the toughest days, a run clears your mind, lifts your mood, & reminds you how strong you really are! #Running #fitness

Started today with a fabulous run along the River Severn in Ironbridge, Shropshire 🇬🇧 this morning. The light over the water and the quiet trails made it a perfect start to the day! Sometimes the best part of running is just being out there to see moments like this 🏃 #running #fitness

Starting Sunday with a run is the perfect way to achieve something just for yourself. A little movement not only boosts your energy but also sets a positive tone for the day. 🏃 #running #fitness

Switch up your running routes to keep things fresh 🏃‍♂️ A new path, new roads and some new scenery will challenge you. It just shakes the day up a little so you don’t get bored of running the same old streets. And don’t forget to throw in some hills too - your legs will thank you! #running #fitness

Sometimes the best runs are the ones without a plan. 🏃‍♂️ No set route. No pressure on pace. Just simply getting outside, and letting your feet decide where to take you. It’s a reminder that running isn’t always about structure or goals - sometimes it’s just about freedom. #running #fitness

There’s something powerful about getting your workout done before the world wakes up! A morning gym session doesn’t just train your body - it clears your mind, boosts your energy, and sets the tone for the day ahead. Start your day by showing up for you. The rest of the day will follow! #fitness

Everyone says “discipline and consistency are everything in running.” But if that’s ALL you rely on, running becomes punishment. Consistency builds habits, but intention keeps you coming back. Run because it serves you - not just because you “should.” 🏃‍♂️✨ #running #fitness

Starting the week strong ✨ Whether it’s a run, a walk or a gym session, moving your body on Monday sets the tone for the days ahead. Let’s make this week count! 🏃‍♀️🔥 #running #fitness #motivation

Dudley Parkrun 🇬🇧has always been my nemesis - a challenging multi-terrain course where I’ve been chasing that sub-25. Today I finally nailed it, with time to spare! 🎉 Not the easiest route, but I can finally tick this one off with a finish I’m happy with 🏃 #parkrun #running #fitness

Sometimes the best way to move forward is to slow down. Rest and recovery aren’t signs of weakness; they’re part of the training. Muscles repair, energy stores replenish, and your motivation gets a reboot. So if your body’s asking for a pause, listen to it 👌 #Running #fitness

This was my first run since tackling a half-marathon on Sunday, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciated those two days of rest. Today I eased back into it with a gentle 5km, nothing too quick, but just enough to get everything moving again and remind the body we’re still in business 🏃 #running

Solihull Half Marathon 🏃‍♂️ That was one of the toughest races I’ve tackled in a while! The heat was relentless, & the course had its fair share of elevation. Really had to dig deep today, so I’m happy to have crossed the line with a sub-2 hr finish, especially in these conditions 🥵 #Running #Fitness

Running is a powerful tool for mental well-being. Moving your body helps release endorphins, those natural “feel-good” chemicals that reduce stress and boost mood. Over time, it builds confidence, & a sense of achievement which are ingredients for a healthier mind! #running #fitness #mentalhealth

I always say: don’t skip your rest days! They’re just as important as your runs. Rest is when your body actually recovers, adapts to training, repairs muscles, and refuels energy. It’s how you get stronger! #Running #Fitness

Enjoyed this morning’s 4 mile run! The wind was definitely a hinderance, but managed to turn it into a solid progressive tempo session today. Felt great to finish strong despite the wind 💨🍃 #running #fitness

Let’s get this week going! Off and running with some useful miles this morning! With a half marathon coming up next Sunday, this week’s training will be a bit different, but this morning’s run felt great and set me up perfectly for the day ahead 🏃 #running #fitness

Runners: Don’t skip the gym! Strength training is a game changer for your running. It reduces your risk of injury, and improves endurance by building a more resilient, balanced body. Strong legs, core, and glutes = better form & efficiency on every mile 🏃 #running #fitness #gym

Telford Parkrun: New PB! No idea where that came from this morning - it’s been a while since my last Parkrun, but this one felt surprisingly good 🏃‍♂️ Really happy with that time! ☺️ *There’s a sub 22 min 5km in me yet… I’m sure! #running #fitness #parkrun

Who says you need a plan? Unless you’re an elite athlete chasing medals, most of us run for the joy of it. Simply to get outside, breathe fresh air, stay healthy, and clear our minds. Don’t overthink it. Throw on your running gear and get out there. Run for the love of it! 🏃‍♀️ #running #fitness

Running is great, but basic strength & conditioning can take you further. Here’s why it matters: 🔥 Prevent injuries 🔥 Boost speed & power 🔥 Improve efficiency You don’t need fancy workouts - just 2 sessions a week of core, glutes, legs, and mobility work. Run Strong!💪 #running #fitness #gym

Keep Showing Up 🌧️🏃 Running in the rain isn’t my favourite, but it’s where consistency is tested. However, every time you show up, you’re reinforcing something stronger than motivation: discipline! You don’t need perfect conditions to get better. You just need to keep going 🏃 #running #fitness

It’s Monday morning and a 5km threshold run on the plan, but today was one of those days that didn’t feel easy. I never quite settled into my usual comfy pace, however it’s all part of the journey 🏃 Every mile counts, even the tough ones. Just keep showing up! #running #fitness #motivation

Don’t wait for perfect weather, because strength is built in less than ideal conditions. Every drop of rain is a reminder that you’re not made to quit when it gets uncomfortable. You put your running kit on, you show up, and you keep moving forward 🏃 Rain is just nature cheering you on! #running

After a week of grey skies, the sunshine this morning is a welcome boost - the perfect fuel to kickstart this Friday with energy and positivity! Let’s make today count 🏃 #running #fitness

Kicked off the day with a cheeky little progressive run - just 30 minutes to get the blood flowing and the mind in gear. It didn’t seem all that warm when I first started but it was one of those deceptive mornings where the air feels thick and heavy even without the sun blazing 🥵 #running #fitness

Kickstarting the week with a refreshing morning run! 🏃‍♂️ Cool weather, stunning skies, and the perfect opportunity to log those valuable training miles. Start strong, stay motivated! #running #fitness

A cooler and fresher Sunday morning, but perfect running weather. Getting in some steady, easy miles as the base builds for a solid Autumn season of events! Showing up, staying consistent. 🏃‍♂️ #running #fitness

Started Saturday the right way with a relaxed 5-mile run at a steady, easy pace. Felt great to be out there, enjoying the morning and moving with purpose. Grateful for every mile 🏃 Have a wonderful weekend everyone ☺️ #running #fitness #exercise

Running is all about consistency. Rain, heat, wind, snow - don’t let the weather become your excuse. The key isn’t perfection, it’s about showing up. So, put on your running kit and stay committed to your goals! Progress doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. 💪🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ #running #fitness #exercise
