Yesterday, I volunteered at my favourite race, the Dukeries 30/40. I had such a lovely day directing and encouraging runners—and doing it with my friend Lynsey made it even better.
Big thanks to Ronnie and Hobo Pace for all the hard work. Can’t wait to run it next year!

Start scared.
Start messy.
Start small.
Just start.
The hardest part is starting, but it’s also where the magic begins. ✨

5 years ago today, I went for my first run.
I had no idea it would change me.
Running gave me confidence, clarity, and the most powerful tool for my mental health.
It helped me chase dreams, write a book, and figure out what really matters.
Here’s to that first step. 🖤

Taper driving you mad? 🤯
You’re not alone. Sluggish legs, panic thoughts, phantom injuries—classic taper tantrums.
Trust the process. Rest is training too. You are ready. 💪
Before my first marathon, taper nearly broke me...
You can read about it in Just Run 📚

Gone back to how I started 5 years ago—running without music, no pace goals, just aiming for simple landmarks like the end of the road. And I’m loving it.
Maybe we all need to return to where we began sometimes. 💫

I'm a Runner.
My realisation that I was a runner came from an unexpected place.
Have you ever had a moment like that? When you suddenly realised you are a runner?

After months of inconsistent running—no motivation, no energy, or feeling unwell—I finally wanted to run again. I felt anxious, like I was starting over.
But I did it. And I felt proud. I still got it. I’m still a runner. 🏃♂️✨

Remember the feeling after your first run? I sure do.
Running taught me a lot about pushing limits, both mentally and physically. If you’re thinking about taking that first step—go for it. You won’t regret it. 💙

Are you always running at the same speed? It’s easy to fall into that habit, but adding a little speed can make a big difference! Try this simple interval session.
