An early morning run on a crisp cold morning is a great tonic to start the day. Now time for some coffee!!!! ☕️☕️☕️ #running #runners #coldmorning #coffee

Work and home life have been manic the last week or so and sadly I’ve neglected my running. 5k progression run today to get the blood pumping again.

How many kilometres or miles will I need to run tomorrow to burn this off?…🥡🥢🥠

It’s been a tough week with family and work stresses. A run in the countryside really does reset and reinvigorates the mind 🧘🌳🌾🚜🐄

Does running help you reset?

5km run and a 400m sprint to finish the working week.

What are your running plans for the weekend?

We conquered the Silverstone Half Marathon in support of breast cancer, undeterred by Storm Burt’s relentless driving rain and 60mph winds. And to top it off, I smashed a personal best with a time of 1:49:04!…now time for a Chinese and chill! #breastcancer #silverstonehalf #runners #pb

It’s not all sunshine and roses, it’s been a tantrum filled evening….Parenting drains you, but I wouldn’t swap moments like this for all the money in the world. #dadlife

Is there anything better than a morning run in the crisp morning air to clear the mind before work, well apart from coffee? 🤣☕️🏃‍♂️🥶🍁🍂 #running #morningrun #5k #mindclearer

Monday morning stresses!!! 4-year old bringing his tantrum A-game on the school run and doing his best Houdini escape impression by getting out of his car seat whilst I’m driving!!….hoping my morning caffeine and a lunch time run will give me my sanity back!! #running #dadlife #firstworldproblems

I followed the #hardestgeezer ‘s journey on YouTube…what an inspiration!…pushing body and mind to new limits by running the length of Africa and raising over £1m for #therunningcharity and #sandblast

His book will certainly be on my Christmas list.
