Cheddar Gorge Trail Half Marathon & Omnium Event | AONB England | Running Challenge

The Cheddar Gorge Trail Half Marathon is a beautiful and challenging run that was super enjoyable, albeit turned into another humid run! :) Add to that an afternoon of more running and I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was. Relish Running did a great job at organising this event (although a better medal would be nice) :) I share towards the end my reflection of ...
Ivybridge 10K Running Race | Riviera Racers Club Event | Dartmoor

As you'll see from this video, I loved the amazing support for this 10k running event, as well as the gorgeous route and beautiful weather. Super proud of Kieran's first ever 10k and race event. It's always hard controlling the nerves at the beginning and he absolutely smashed it! It was also nice for me to go out and just do a chilled run. I should have been pushing hard to place well in the R...
Trail Run Lake Como, Italy- aka getting lost in a forest
Просмотров 146Год назад
Well what started as an interesting looking trail run to try courtesy of AllTrails, became a literal scramble through the forest! :) My navigation aside, this was an incredible adventure and the 73% humidity and over 3,000ft of elevation has got me mentally ready for the Lundy Island Half Marathon in July. The more I look back on this experience, the more thankful I am for it. It pushed me beyo...

Two Tunnels 'Hilly' Half Marathon, Bath | A lesson in running stressed! #1000milechallenge
Просмотров 322Год назад
This was a fab event with amazing views! I, however, pushed an already very stressed body a huge amount during this race. I went ahead with this event (against the advice of my husband) because a few years ago I went through a breakdown due to putting everything into work and having nothing left for me, and I wasn't prepared to sacrifice something I love again. But in reality, my body was worki...

    "I've done some events where i'm so far back I don't see anybody".... oh yep, I totally feel this! So often i'm the back of the pack runner (or nearabouts). I don't mind being last but always worry i'm going to lose my way :) your slippy mud sections look similar to what I had at the Maverick Bucks race last weekend! Great fun but not runnable for me, i'd have been on my arse so quickly! 😂 tunnels look weird and scary, would not like (or I would but i'd have to have a light so I could see the floor). well done for sticking the run out and getting it done. give yourself some much needed r&r now and be kind to yourself. x

    Totally agree with being flexible with the training plan. I'm training for something called double Everesting, and it requires a good amount of volume, but unlike my younger (stupider) years, I take a day or two off when I feel my body feeling me something. Great video. Nice race.
