Middlesex XC Championships

Photos never do justice to just how muddy cross country is! Five miles around Wormwood Scrubs, splashing through heavy, sticky mud 😣

There were times I felt like all the energy had been sucked out of my legs but there was… https://t.co/xgj6Z7rRq0

Blustery long run by the sea 🌊

Just over 10 miles completed yesterday, partly along the seafront so I could distract myself from the running with views of the waves and 193847482 dogs 😍🐕🐩🐶 Made even better with @novicetoelite cycling with me aga… https://t.co/xemaLZAz6e

2019 Top Nine 🌟

Lots of Brighton posts - now that I'm already looking ahead to Manchester, Brighton marathon feels like forever ago! But running my first marathon in April is definitely a highlight of 2019 😁

Also a couple of @run_spire photos. This… https://t.co/mcYAkkPOUG

Harrow Parkrun 🌳

Good to be back running at my home parkrun after 5 weeks off due to working, travelling and other races 😁

Just an easy one today, sandwiched between a hard intervals session yesterday and a long run tomorrow. All part of my first w… https://t.co/mWz180uN2t

Making yoga even more fun with some @blossomyogawear flamingo leggings 😂 47 @hotpodyogaruislip sessions done this year so I decided it was about time I got some new kit 😏

The progress is gradual, but I'm definitely feeling the benefit of adding in a… https://t.co/J1SDyNQp37

Had a lovely surprise at Eastbourne parkrun this morning - just at the point I was starting to feel a bit tired and not wanting to keep running hard, I spotted a @runtalkrun vest and recognised Wendy (Jess' mum). Nothing more motivating than seeing someo… https://t.co/WFzkZKX243

Yet another XC 😂 North London XC Championships

When I was soaking wet and freezing after tail walking at parkrun this morning I really didn't fancy going out to race, but it was 100% worth it - especially to make up a Harrow ladies team 😍

Throwback Thursday with some more Amsterdam spam and that time I apparently triple jumped my way to the finish line - talk about flying feet 😂

Normally I'd be running on a Thursday evening, but tonight I just can't be bothered 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 It's dark, I'm achi… https://t.co/P3hNbfLWzC

One week since Amsterdam Half Marathon and I finally have my race photos and have managed to get my thoughts around the race.

I've done a bit of a recap on my blog - link is in my bio ☺️ During the race I hardly noticed the photographers and I was worri… https://t.co/7uAsEIqvSv

#MedalMonday 🏅

Wasn't the race I'd hoped for, but still a great experience travelling abroad for a race. "I'll just run one half marathon..." has now turned into 11 and that's certainly not the end!

RACE DAY 🇳🇱 Finally race day has arrived, all ready to go out and enjoy the atmosphere this afternoon and see what the training can produce 😁

The half marathon gets started at 1:20pm Amsterdam time so hopefully I can catch a bit of the marathon this… https://t.co/8o7E54GP6p

Two years since I ran Oxford Half, a key race in leading to where I am now 🏃‍♀️ This was only my third ever race, and my second half marathon. It totally fell apart after going out far too quickly over the first 10k and I struggled my way around finishin… https://t.co/9T3kb0RjXc

Happy Birthday @parkrunuk 🥳

Great run this morning at Harrow, nice to start getting consistent sub-22 5km again. Parkrun has been so good for me when it comes to figuring out pacing - if I get it wrong I can just come again next week!

Much happier … https://t.co/JWH3bs5TOM

Medal Monday 🏅

My second year running the @ealinghalfmarathon.

A year ago I was racing almost every other weekend, and hitting consecutive PBs over and over again. It was my first year of racing regularly and I was definitely riding that high of ma… https://t.co/wYEIZak0MC

Sprinting for the finish line to make the pain stop sooner 😂🙈 Hills + tired legs made this a race of two halves for me today. I started well, feeling really comfortable at around PB pace but after halfway my legs were burning and just keeping going f… https://t.co/Dsxe3l5FHH

Just a few of my excellent team of marshals from the Pinner section of Harrow Half Marathon today. All part of a huge group of volunteers who put on a great event today. Seeing what goes on behind the scenes of an event like this is eye-opening so thank … https://t.co/XMVNMN7DzB

First parkrun in a while where I really cared about the time - beautifully demonstrated in this finish photo from today!

Hadn't really decided how to run it, but I was feeling good and early on decided to try for a faster one. Where previously I've slow… https://t.co/KEBnYzr69D

Thursday night run commute 🏃🏻‍♀️🚫🚇
I’ve got a busy weekend planned so I had to find another time to get my long run done. And if I’m doing it after work, might as well incorporate my journey home 😊

The original plan was to run about 8 miles straight hom… https://t.co/hvqph0jGSV

Floodlit #TrackTuesday returns 🌓
Tonight’s session was 3 sets of 3x700m. Deciding to be organised, I worked out my target splits earlier in the day then wrote them on my hand before the session.

First rep and I was 10 seconds over the target. Bit d… https://t.co/60DnwzUvSZ

Just shy of 14 miles for my long run this morning. Perfect conditions for a long run ☀️ I ran the first eight solo, then joined some others to run the middle section of the Harrow Half Marathon which takes place next week. A useful opportunity to familia… https://t.co/m0eb2imynr
