First run 30 mins non stop. And first run where I’ve pushed my legs a bit more than usual! Feeling great! I’m sure I’m gonna regret it in the following days! Luckily not running till Sunday! 2 more runs of couch to 5k , bring it on! 💪🏼🏃🏻♀️ #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningday #runningwomanuk #runningismytherapy #runner #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #runnerscommunity #slowrunnersunite #couchto5k #progressnotperfection
Not been doing much 🏃♀️lately 👎 Seem to have got a form of hip bursitis and in my good hip too🤷♀️. Goodness knows where this came from (possibly a knock on effect because of my bad hip 😖) but one step it wasn’t there and the next it was like a knife in the side of my hip making running 🏃♀️ impossible. I seem to get rid of one injury and then get another just now 😟 Luckily all is good on Betty 🚴♀️ tho. So I am introducing more strength, walking and still battling on with the yoga 🧘 (definitely a battle 🤣🤣) So there will be a few boring posts atm 🤪(stick with me 😁) Happy Wednesday🤨 #runner #runningwomanuk #runspire #runninglife #runnerslife #onepeloton #pelotonaddict #runningproblems #runninginjuries #hipissues #hipinjury #fedup #isitmyage #yogaishard
Won’t let a bit of rain or mud stop me! #runningwomanuk #muddyrun
Best run so far! First time I’ve got a km into the 6 min bracket for a long while! Felt great! Didn’t think it’d be a good run as I woke up so tired, but once I got up the steep hill my legs started to loosen up a bit and I could quicken my pace. They’re screaming at me now but I’m so happy with that run! 3 more runs left of couch to 5k! Bring on Thursdays run! #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningday #runningwomanuk #runningismytherapy #runner #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #runnerscommunity #runnerofinstagram #motherrunner #slowrunnersunite #couchto5k #progressnotperfection

Saturday long run day! Really struggle to run in the heat so we ‘Jeffed’ it a little more than usual. Still a good 11 miles in the bag. #RunningAdventures #NoExcuses #FitnessJourney #RunningForACause #LondonMarathon2024 #WhizzKidsCharity #MakeADifference #getinspired #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #runthroughuk #runhappy #nevergivingin #instarunners #keepmoving #garmim #runningbuddies #runningwithfriends #runningwomanuk #wildrunners #happyrunner #marathontraining @asicsfrontrunner #ASICSFrontRunner2024 #MoveYourMind
Another 28 min run non stop and I’m now fully caught up with where I was before Italy! It’s unknown territory from here on… although I’m pretty sure the next run will be another 28 min run seeing as it’s the last run of week 8! Legs were struggling today but kept at it and managed it! Here’s to Tuesdays run! #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningwomanuk #runningismytherapy #runner #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #runnercommunity #slowrunnersunite #couchto5k #progressnotperfection
Happy Saturday everyone 💯 Been having a fairly easy week after my physio advised ‘Exercise Modification’ to help my back. In other words you don’t need to rest but just lower the intensity. So I have been doing loads of walking rather than running 🏃♀️ and more stretching even tried a bit of yoga 🧘👍which I am absolutely hopeless at 🤣 but you never know 🤪 Consistency is key so I just need to keep going. We shall see. Going to really try👍 My back is good now but I am going to run 🏃♀️ tomorrow 🙄 I just can’t imagine life without running 🏃♀️ Can you? #runner #running #runnergirl #exercise #dailyexercise #exercisemodification #physio #runningwomanuk #runhappy #runhappyteam #runninglife #runnerofinstagram #happyrunner #keepgoing #fitness #fitnessjourney
Working my way through parkrun alphabet with C completed today. Cranleigh Parkrun was a lovely run - minus the hill early on - and what a lovely day for it. Didn’t push too hard so a nice comfortable run, followed my a much needed ice cream for after. What’s not to like about ice cream at 9.30 in the morning! Enjoy the sunshine folks!
An easy Friday morning run in the sun. No one around. Just the birds to listen to. A lovely way to start the day and be nice and chilled before the onslaught of work begins 😩 Happy Friday folks!
I’m thankful for the cloud and cold breeze this morning! 28 mins running non stop today! Legs are screaming at me but feeling great that I’m able to keep this up! Here’s to Sundays run! 🏃🏻♀️ 💪🏼 #runner #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #runnerscommunity #slowrunnersunite #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningwomanuk #runninginspiration #runningismytherapy #thismumruns #couchto5k #progressnotperfection

life update !! haven't been active recently as I was coming to end of uni year one 🫣 no more being a silly little fresher! I tried to atleast do a run once a week to while I haven't been as active as it was a good way to get out of the library or my room and get some fresh air... this week marked the beginning of my 5k improvement time plan with @runna_coach though which I am super excited about!! I'm hoping to bed my 5k time between 35-36 minutes in the next few months 🫶 super exciting stuff so keep a look out for anything I'm posting hehe ☺️ love u all x 🌈🫧🩵 #running #runningmotivation #runningwomanuk #runningcommunity #runner #runnergirl #5krun #runna #gym #gymmotivation #gymlife #lifestyle #runninginspiration
Tuesday morning and 4 miles done 🏃♀️✔️ It's time to get my running head on and get focused now that i am feeling better. I have a 50k to get training for....a distance I have never attempted before!! So let's get these legs moving 😁 #runnerscommunity #runmotivation #runningismytherapy #runningwomanuk #runningintherain #runningover50 #runstrong #runstagram #letsdothis #runnersofig #bronchiectasiscantstopme #bronchiectasis #instarunning #instarun #instarunners #womewhorun #runnersworld #runnerofinstagram #runnersblog #50k
Club run with my crew. We are in a local league for Cross Country, normally 8k in distance. I don’t like running on the grass as it affects my ankles so took this one easy ish, got some points for my club, got out in the sunshine and met up with some of my teammates. A nice Sunday morning 😊
Another great run although slightly slower than Sundays run. Still 25 mins running non stop and feeling great about it! Here’s to Thursdays run. 2 more runs and then I’m caught up to where I was before Italy! #runningwomanuk #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningismytherapy #runner #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #runnercommunity #motherrunner #slowrunnersunite #thismumruns #couchto5k #progressnotperfection
What a difference! Dry, sunny and warm! 🥵 Another run of 25 mins non stop and was so hot and exhausted I forgot to do my usual post run selfie until I was in the car! 🤦🏻♀️ Lgs didn’t hurt so much today (think the Pilates and leg exercises I’ve started doing are helping!) but today was more about catching my breath! Hoping I can keep this up as it gets warmer… might be time to upgrade the running wardrobe! #running #runningmotivation #runningcommunity #runningwomanuk #runningismytherapy #runner #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #runnerscommunity #slowrunnersunite #couchto5k #progressnotperfection
10.8 miles, slowly getting back into it! #RunningAdventures #NoExcuses #FitnessJourney #RunningForACause #LondonMarathon2024 #WhizzKidsCharity #MakeADifference #getinspired #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #runthroughuk #runhappy #nevergivingin #instarunners #keepmoving #garmim #runningbuddies #runningwithfriends #runningwomanuk #wildrunners #happyrunner #marathontraining @asicsfrontrunner #ASICSFrontRunner2024 #MoveYourMind
A new Parkrun today without my wingman ( she living it up in Zurich!) A lovely course along the river but a lot of people on a small course hence some pinch points along the way and a pretty average time. Enjoyed it though. Who else has done Parkrun today?
A sneaky little evening run. An easy 45 mins was very much needed after a day’s work to release those much needed endorphins. It is amazing how much of a positive change I felt once I came back. Some issues at work made me feel very tense in the afternoon, but getting outside took all that tension away.

My first ever half marathon done ✔️ round the beautiful loch leven. This time last year I hadn’t run in years so I’m happy with my 2h 14m time 🏃🏻♀️ . Now to keep up with the training for the Valencia marathon in December 😬 A few people that have helped along the way, @theyardfitnessgym for giving the best training, advice and sports massages and @runningwomanuk community for the motivation I get from seeing everyone else’s running journeys. #halfmarathon #yardfitness #sports #runningwoman #runningwomen #runningwomanuk #runningwomancommunity #lochlevenhalfmarathon #marathontraining #marathonprep

My favourite place to run 🏃♀️ and today was with @runthroughuk for the Hampton Court Palace 10k Such a beautiful course and as always really well organised 💯 Wasn’t sure how it would go today with just being back from holiday and not having done many running miles 😄and don’t forget the sun ☀️ that was out finally for a Sweatfest of a run 🥵🥵 but really pleased with my time of 54.57 🎊. Just snuck in under that 55 🤪. Was also first in my Age category so a positive from going into the next age group 😝& an age grading of 69% Thanks @runthroughuk See you soon 👍 Happy Sunday 😎☀️🎉 #runningwomanuk #run #running #runners #runnersofinstagram #runner #runningmotivation #runsmile #runtoinspire #runninguk #runthroughuk #10km #race #racing #lovearace #hamptoncourtpalace #agecategory #winner #agegrading #sweatyrun #hotrun #keepgoing
It was a hot run today, plan was to do 10 miles but as usual we misjudged the distance and ended up just half a mile off completing half marathon distance 😂 RunningAdventures #NoExcuses #FitnessJourney #RunningForACause #LondonMarathon2024 #WhizzKidsCharity #MakeADifference #getinspired #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #runthroughuk #runhappy #nevergivingin #instarunners #keepmoving #garmim #runningbuddies #runningwithfriends #runningwomanuk #wildrunners #happyrunner #marathontraining @asicsfrontrunner #ASICSFrontRunner2024 #MoveYourMind
I haven't posted about running for quite a few months now. So, yes, I'm still running! I'm two weeks away from running the Great Manchester half marathon, which is a first for me, and training has been going very well. I joined a very supportive running club at the beginning of this year and have had some amazing support from the club, and I made a few friends along the way. So thanks to the Gin Pit Flyers and the amazing ladies that have shown up every weekend and supported me on my hardest training days. Your support has been invaluable. #runnersofinstagram #runningwomanuk #run #running #runningat40plus #runner #run5k #instarunners #stravarun #stravarunning #greatmanchesterrun #ajbellgreatmanchesterrun2024 #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #runforyourlife #runningforlife #runnerwomen #womensupportingwomen #ginpitflyers
What a glorious day for a @parkrun , I love the Monsal trail parkrun on a sunny day , the into Hassop station cafe after. Well done @this_mum_can on your first outdoor run since last year feeling chuffed she didn't half put me through my paces on the running segments. 🚂🤣 Both rocking our @wearefearlessclub tops got a few compliments for them too. Britain's next top model her we come.

𝐑𝐮𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬 🫶🏻 Every time I run with this group I leave feeling super happy and really proud of myself and @lesleyfcollins - we’ve created such an amazing wee space! So if you know someone in the area who would love to run with others or even start running, please point them in our direction. I’d love to grow this group to create a lovely little social space for women who enjoy running and chatting…it’s my two favourite activities 🩷🩷🩷 #runninggroup #socialrun #glasgowrunning #paisleyrunning #paisleyrungroup #thiswomanruns #happyrunners #instarun #runninggirls #runningwomanuk

After my weekend running in Edinburgh it’s totally revived my love for running and with company. I do love listening to podcasts (and we had a new one today @instarunners_roundup_pod ) but you can’t beat a chat with pals, old and new, putting the world tonight’s and just enjoying a really gorgeous sunny evening ☀️ #happyrunners #runningmotivation #glasgowrunning #paisleyrunning #runningtips #runnersofinstagram #runninggirl #runningwomanuk

Absolutely tipping down ☔️ this morning in good old Bank holiday fashion so hopped on the treadmill for #sadiebagels @mikhaila87 celebration and pre birthday run 🏃♀️ and also @angelaascott72 milestone. I would always pick running 🏃♀️ outside versus the tread but actually this was great this morning. Running with friends @sarahed1981_geordiesaz @hellenwheells & the rest of the LB was really motivational and I was way faster than I would have done outside so maybe I am going to do more regular runs 🏃♀️on the treadmill 👍. It will definitely improve speed and endurance 👍over time and this British weather just doesn’t seem to be getting any better 🤪 I also need to try and catch @laurenrunsalott 🤣🔥 Happy Monday everyone 😁 #run #running #runner #runningwomanuk #runningmotivation #pelotonrunners #pelotontreaduk #peloton #runningwithfriends #rainyday
Back to Blighty and the sun is shining 🔆 and I really need to kick start my fitness after the holiday 👍 (it’s impossible not to feel blobby after a couple of weeks in the States 🤪) A nice little 6.5 miler 🏃♀️ to start me off at an easy ‘just do what you can’ pace listening to some great tracks from Fred Again & Aerosmith with @jon_hosking @ @rebeccakennedynyc @onepeloton Somehow my Garmin seems to have deregistered itself from the app 🤷♀️🤷♀️ whilst I was away.

✨April Stats✨ First month running and I feel like I’m happy with the progress I’ve made from the start of April to now. I’ve managed to go from a 8:50/km to 6:45/km so I’ll take that.

Hello May 👋 scrolling through @strava, and this pic pops up 😃 and on @facebook. It's nice to have a little moment of fame from the @run4wales Newport Marathon ✨️ . 206 miles banked in April and, of course, the race I had been training for since January ❤️ .

Well I am on an amazing holiday (if you are following my stories) but managed my first outdoor run 🏃🏽 today (6miles) in Napa Valley. Found a really great trail that runs for absolute miles. Unfortunately I only had time for 30 mins in and out but it was lovely to run 🏃♀️ somewhere new and just appreciate the scenery and it was warm 👍 (not missing UK weather 🤣) Found out too that’s it’s the Napa valley half tomorrow and I was very glad of those toilets at a certain point of my run 😳. I would have loved to have run that half but we are off early in the morning to San Diego 👍.

Flatlay Friday 🏃♀️➡️ . Made the decision to run with my hydration vest.... I hate wearing it, but the one time i didn't wear it during a marathon was London, and I cramped up so badly. I've used it throughout my training, so I'm not changing it now, which means I can use @tailwindnutritionuk in my drinks bottles . Checked the weather a billion times. Just please dont give us strong winds!! Would be really great if it was dry, especially for the spectors, and we need as many as we can get. . I've added in @saltstick chews and @revviesenergy this time, and it seems to help with the leg cramps and focus in the later miles. . Shared in my story earlier that my body has decided that now is the time to bring my periods back postpartum 😭 I stopped breastfeeding in Feb so I knew it would happen, just not the best timing the same time I'm about to run a marathon 🙈 just something extra to add to the nerves! . So 1 last training run tomorrow and then that's it!! Game on 😜 . . . . . . . #flatlay #fridaymotivation #newportmarathon #marathon #runlongrunhappy #runspire #runnersofig #runningmummy #runningwomanuk #ukrunchat #nike #salomon #injinji i #runner #ukrunningcommunity #bebrave #aftershokz #garmin #run4wales

Throwback Thursday ✨️ Newport Marathon . It's both a blessing and a curse having a marathon so close to home. It's convenient and more personal, but I know the roads toooo well 😅 . 2018, my very first marathon! I had just joined a running club, hadn't really ran much or raced before, I did race for life and newport half fundraising for beat, but that was it, I hoped to come in under 5 hours and I came in 1:45:02, got a pb in every distance in that marathon 😂 . 2019 during my training I caught lymes disease (joys of being a veterinary nurse) and had to stop my training, as the race came closer my symptoms eased and I decided right before the race to run it with my cousin and help to raise money for @crohnsandcolitisuk that was a very special race 💜 . 2020 lockdown hit.... right before I was due to run the race, so this was my 1st of 4 virtual marathons! . 2021 2 weeks after London I ran newport, after London not going so well from cramping at mile 20 I just ran, enjoyed it and ran the last mile with my daughter, which was so special 🥰 . Let's see what 2024 has to bring ✨️ . . . . . @run4wales #throwbackthursday #run #runningwomanuk #marathons #marathon #marathonthraining #doesntgetbetterthanthis #doesntgeteasier #running #runningmummy #ukrunchat #instarunners #runnersofig # newportmarathon #run4wales
I felt EVERY emotion before, during & after that run🤯 I’ve always owned being a “slow” runner and that’s always been my vibe, I am comfortable slower, I am happier slower, I feel more productive slower. BUT, ya girl’s got plans. With a 10km coming up I had set myself some goals with @maddi.pt and it’s fair to say the first run went off with a BANG💥 Struggled to get a sub 30min 5km for as long as I’ve known. But today, I DID IT!!!😍 PB 5km for Laura👏🏼 **swipe for 1hr before my run** #runner #run #runwiltshire #10kmtraining #posthalfmarathon #runtok #runstagram #runningmamas #runningwomanuk #running

A PB to fly into the weekend 🌉 Severn Bridge twilight race 5 miles. 🔸️36:13 chip time 🔸️5th age cat 🔸️6th female Bit windy on that bridge 😳 but dry and warmer than it has been . My 3rd time doing this race, 1st time I had long covid and was a struggle, second time found it tough but was alright. Thursday night, felt good! The course is mentally tough, running over the bridge and back its a long 5 miles looking at a bridge! And it's also got quite an incline.. . And a flight of steps😱 . Thanks to rouge runs, the atmosphere is always amazing 👏 . Last long run on Sunday before I can start my taper 🙌 good luck to those running marathons, you've absolutely got this 🫶🏼 . .

A nice easy 5 today. I did 5 yesterday too so technically 10 in 24 hours which is the same as 10 miles in a day, which is same as running 10 miles just with a break (of a few hours 😂😂) in between 🤣🤣 Do you agree?? My foot is still not great and I can feel my hips a bit too 🤷♀️ Feeling a bit of an old croc at the moment 🤪 My 400th run 🏃♀️ on Sunday.

That 6.15k Trail 🏃 was about as fun as getting the Shits in a Wetsuit 🤣🤦♀️. Absobloodylutely horrific run but beautiful surroundings and weather , I got to Hug a tree . See a 🦌 in front of me , spot a Robin oh and get Shit on 🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️. Everything in my body ached and felt 10X heavier , literally felt like I was running on empty.

Few from today 💚 I’m really enjoying being able to feel myself get fitter, getting out is always an initial struggle but I’m always grateful that I did. I’ve been feeling quite anxious recently, I think part of it is because I’m coming up to 8 months and that’s where I fell the last time, working hard to stay positive and motivated though! After my run, we went to meet my friend, Bonnie still isn’t 100% but she enjoyed her little walk. We met some really friendly swans 🦢 got to be honest… I thought all swans were evil but these were cool and I got a really cute photo 🤍 Also… how cute is this bird/ squirrel 🐿️ feeder than my friend made! I want one! #soberlife #soberliving #soberlifestyle #iamsober #runningwomanuk #runningformylife #runmummyrun #runningmotivation #blog #soberblogger #runningblogger
Well eventually my cat 😻moved (see story) and I could get up and go for a run 🏃♀️. It was going to be treadmill because of the rain 🌧️ but it stopped in time so I went out but I didn’t realize how windy 🌬️ it was. Felt like I was pushing a 2 ton truck! It was so strong in parts I think I was going backwards and it just annoyed me 🤣so I walked a bit🤷♀️ Well it’s still miles on legs. All 10 of them 👍(miles not legs 🤪) It’s your run 🏃♀️. Nothing to prove. Do you 👍 Thanks to @mattymaggiacomo @onepeloton for motivating me all the way 👍💯 Happy Friday everyone 🎊 #runner #run #windyrun #running #runningmotivation #runningwomanuk #runspire #runninglife #runninggirl #runningday #ukrunchat #ukrunning #ukrunner #peloton #pelotonrunners #onepeloton #runningday #halfmarathontraining #keepgoing #fitnessjourney #runhappy #waytoowindy

March ✔️ 2️⃣8️⃣0️⃣ Miles!! Biggest milage month ever for me, and 10 weeks of running everyday! ➡️ for stats . Finished off with an easy 3 miles in the sunshine this morning. . Glad to have the 2 races in there for some of the 20 milers, it helps the miles tick over a little easier in a race! . I've got better at slowing my easy miles down, and my pacing has improved ... apart from the interval sessions I'm not so good at pacing when I have to run fast fast 🥵 . Normally in marathon training my weight sessions drop off, I struggle to fit them in with less free time and find it harder to stay motivated for them but this time I've made sure not to let that happen! . 🐇 Easter everyone 🐣 . . . . . . . . . . #marchstats #monthlymilage #sundayrun #eastersunday #runningwomanuk #instatunners #runnersofig #instarunnerswales #ukrunchat #marathonlegs #marathontraining #marathon #racephotos #lovetorun #stregthtraining

🅼🅴🅳🅰🅻 🅼🅾🅽🅳🅰🆈 🏅 with a 20 mile PB 👌 despite the strong winds, hail and rain! . Back to the grind this week tho. 5 weeks to go until Newport Marathon and pleanty of miles left to run this week.... 22 to be ticked off on Sunday 😬 .

5 miles done, swapped dogs so both had a run. Then 20mins of yoga that I really needed and enjoyed ☺️ . I have to admit to being a bit stiff after yesterdays long run but happy to report the yoga did the trick 👌 . Happy Monday! Short week this week 💥☄️😁 . #runner #yogaforrunners #recoveryrun #running #runwell #runforlife #runforestrun #training #trainingforamarathon #marathontraining #brightonmarathon #igrun #ukrun #ukrunning #runningmotivation #runningwomanuk
Happy Sunday everyone 😊 Running this year so far hasn't exactly gone to plan 👎😕 I feel like for most of this year so far, I have been ill... bad chest, ibs issues, and now vertigo!!! But I'm trying to keep positive 😊 I've signed up for a 50k in October 🏃♀️ #imustbemad And oddly enough, I am really looking forward to training for it 😅 So fingers crossed, I'll be back out there before long 🤞 #itsgoodtobealive #runnerscommunity #runforlife #runningfamily #runnersworld #bronchiectasis #bronchiectasiscantstopme #over50runner #instarunner #instarun #runstrong #happysunday #sunday #womanrunner #womenwhorun #runningwoman #runningwomanuk #icandothis #lovetorun #runningismytherapy #justrun #runner #runnerofinsta #fitat50
. Twin Lakes 20 Miler 🏅 Right; let’s get some negatives out the way first. It was bloody horrible 😆😆 I sailed through 10km feeling good, feeling strong and then I got that sinking feeling all runners desperately don’t want to experience - ‘these gels are not settling’ 🫣😆 it seems to be hit or miss if I tolerate them, it’s too late to start messing around with alternatives so let’s just pray on the day 🙏🏻🤣 This just seemed to set the tone for the next 22km. I nearly walked off the course at 10 miles, after one loop, as I just hated it, I usually love a good long run but this was next level despair! 🤣 (god I’m such a drama queen!), it just felt really horrible on all levels! Blisters - my usual long run shoes, which have never caused any issue, started to rub around 13 miles, I’m now left with 2 mega blisters to manage over the next 4 weeks. What is that about! Is it cos im used to an onslaught of rain and todays sunny 15° just caused some swelling?!! Either way it’s flipping annoying! The GOOD! Camaraderie out there today was top tier, so much support from the other runners. Every time I walked I had people checking I was ok, the last 3-4km I ran with 2 wonderful people who kept me going! Darren and Rebecca 💖 @gemmajordan it was great to finish with you 🫶🏻 Despite not hitting my marathon pacing, im bloody proud to have run 20 miles! Last year I could just hold this pace for 10km… today 32 💪🏻🏅 A great test of the legs ahead of London in 4 weeks! Now to stop feeling sorry for myself and recognise what an achievement today was! 🏅🏅 As always, thanks to this running community for the positive words, the kindness and support, it’s one of a kind 🙏🏻💛💪🏻 . .. … …. #londonmarathon #londonmarathontraining #twinlakes20 #marathon #marathontrainning #couchto5k #couchtomarathon #runningwomanuk #ukrun #ukrunchat #ukrunners #runningcommunity #thismumruns #runningmum @londonmarathon @twinlakes20 #londonmarathon2024
10 miles easy after a 20 mile race at goal pace yesterday ..... legs were heavy but not sore, have never done a run after a race like that before, esp 10 miles! So had no idea how it would go but with some great company it was much better than I imagined ☺️ . Another week ticked off, 5 more to go 🙈 8 week run streak now! . Keep turning up, keep believing in the process 💪 . . . . . . . . . #marathongirl #marathonplan #marathonrunning #ukrunningcommunity #runtillitsdone #runyourrace #runningwomanuk #runstagram #runstreak
Wk 12 / Day 83 LMT 2024 How could a 12.6 miles training run feel harder than the Ashby 20 undulating road race last week?! 😂 https://www.justgiving.com/page/nicola-smith-1692123635592 #RunningAdventures #NoExcuses #FitnessJourney #RunningForACause #LondonMarathon2024 #WhizzKidsCharity #MakeADifference #getinspired #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #runthroughuk #runhappy #nevergivingin #instarunners #keepmoving #garmim #runningbuddies #runningwithfriends #runningwomanuk #wildrunners #happyrunner #marathontraining
Sun, rain, wind, hail, repeat. Jacket on, jacket off, sunnies on, sunnies off. So much faffing about I was getting annoyed and realised that I just had to get my head down and get these 12 miles done with. So that’s what I did! Horrendous conditions, but the run itself was alright. I’m starting to feel the benefits of tapering; my legs are (slightly) less tired and it’s a real treat to have my long run done and dusted by mid morning rather than running and recovery feeling like it’s taking over most of the day. A fortnight to go! #marathontraining #marathonjourney #running #wintertraining #ukrunning #ukrunnerscommunity #runningmotivation #runningover40 #runningwomanuk #runningwoman #marathondeparis #parismarathon
#ashby20 20 mile race in the bag! OMG, don’t ever let me do that one again 😂….. it was so hilly!! But we absolutely smashed it, crossing that finish line at 3:25:26 Thanks to Debbie as always for staying with me all the way and crossing that finish line together 😁 Well done to all the other runners, marshals and spectators that cheered us all on ! #RunningAdventures #NoExcuses #FitnessJourney #RunningForACause #LondonMarathon2024 #WhizzKidsCharity #MakeADifference #getinspired #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #runthroughuk #runhappy #nevergivingin #instarunners #keepmoving #garmim #runningbuddies #runningwithfriends #runningwomanuk #wildrunners #happyrunner #marathontraining
