Geordie runner, found typically in either Yorkshire or the North East. I’m happiest sending out good vibes and/or eating delicious food.

Did a fast (for me) 5k at lunchtime and I’m still buzzing about it. Way too early to say strength training and yoga is paying off but I feel I’m on the right track!

[hollybop @holrunning]

My race got cancelled which is just as well, as I had decided not to risk running on icy hills anyway! Managed a frosty 5k yesterday morning while I was in Newcastle. Today? It’s time to stay cosy and drink coffee 😌

@poetwithpace Ahh good timing, thanks, I’ll check them out!

I’m really dialling the running down for the first half of 2025. I’ve done some thinking and I’ve decided I’m not doing Manchester marathon. My body has been (fairly) cross with me, and I need to prioritise strength training and flexibility over just hobbling my way round.

[hollybop @holrunning]

I do have a race on Sunday! I wanna give it a whirl, but it’s all good if I end up only doing a bit of it. It’s quite liberating lifting the pressure off myself 🤠

[hollybop @holrunning]

I like the sound of going back to basics and having fun with shorter distances. It’s easy for me to get caught up in comparisons/FOMO but if I carry on the way I am, I’d probably end up fully injuring myself.

@GazU_Running Amazing, nice one!!

[hollybop @holrunning]

1000 miles ran in 2024 🥳

[hollybop @holrunning]

@CatrionaCard That’s brilliant, well done!

[hollybop @holrunning]

@junkateer Ooh you’re so close!!

[hollybop @holrunning]

@Chris211162 Oooh is it like a snow globe??

[hollybop @holrunning]

@tracehodge17 That’s so impressive!

[hollybop @holrunning]

@Chris211162 Maybe a hat 😂

Visiting my mum in Newcastle this weekend. Got out for 5 miles today and the weather was very intense. Nearly got swept off my feet a few times and the sleet hurt my face. Weather app said ‘feels like -8’ which explained the numb fingers 🥶

[hollybop @holrunning]

@xinaevans @HevyApp Ahh thank you for sharing, I’ve been meaning to ask what app you’ve been using from your tweets as it looks great!

[hollybop @holrunning]

Cancelled my gym membership. The price kept going up and up so it became untenable to pay so much. Luckily, there’s plenty on YouTube that’ll keep me covered for strength training and yoga. I’ll miss the steam room though :-(

[hollybop @holrunning]

@LuckyTony72 V true, they love to snort and cough so I won’t miss that at all 🤢

[hollybop @holrunning]

@gracepanoff Totally, my wage isn’t stretching as far as it should! There is a more budget friendly one close by so I could try that in a few months if I really miss having access to a gym

[hollybop @holrunning]

@DiBrander Hah! Very true, especially with my bathroom’s terrible ventilation fan

[hollybop @holrunning]

@gracepanoff It was delish, only teeny tiny though!

[hollybop @holrunning]

Strength training this evening so I’ll chuck in a 15 second plank, and I have a mini mince pie to eat from yesterday’s party 🥳
