Sweatshop intervals tonight and it felt tough, so tough 😅 and I almost gave up on the last interval and @_juliepatterson_ pulled me through 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ for the final 3 minutes of what at the time felt like hell 😂😬🤗. First run with the new @brooksrunninguk Launch 6, and I loved them, so light and responsive. 💜 . . . . #grouprun #intervals #intervaltraining #intervalrunning #runfaster #runfast #runnersofinstagram #brookslaunch #launch6 #runhappy #runtogether #stressbuster #healthybody #healthymind #fitmum #runningmummy #motherrunner #thismumruns #runningwithfriends #runningmotivation #womensrunningcommunity #runninginspiration #thisgirlcanrun #bushypark #runoutside #summerrunning #loverunning #sweatshoprunningcommunity
What a great way to end the day, I’m properly buzzing after my and @julia.lowbridge’s first run commute together from Hammersmith to Teddington. It was a little hotter than we thought it would be (thank goodness for that water fountain at Ham gate 😅) but just lovely running along the Thames and also through Richmond Park and indulging in some run chat 🤗☀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️ . . . . . #runcommute #activecommute #richmondpark #thamestowpath #runningmum #motherrunner #runnersofinstagram #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunninguk #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #fitgotreal #runhappy #sunshinerun #wednesdayrun #fitmum #runningmummy #thismumruns #anothermotherrunner #runchat #runningwithfriends #runningfriends #runninginspiration #bestcommute #runfaster #runningmotivation
Sunshiny cycle to and from the office yesterday. Plus a new top from my lovely @christiewalsh3 which I love! On the way in I had to stop and take a work call, and I had some curious listeners in 🦌🦌🦌. I was also so happy Hammersmith bridge is still closed to traffic, as it’s usually one of the more stressful part of the journey 😬. Last but not least I was worried about my outfit, and men catcalling, and luckily there were only 2, a young guy doing a proper joey from friends #howyoudoin and an old guy working on a street light shouting hey baby 🙄. I hate it, and my husband doesn’t understand why I don’t feel comfortable running in just a sports bra 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just don’t want any uninvited attention or comments. Today was nothing, I’ve had much worse, why do men feel they have the right to do this? Anyone else feel the same. Big deal or no big deal? . . . . #cycle #cyclecommute #sunny #sumshine #exercise #fitness #activecommute #fitmum #fitlife #thisgirlcan #thedeerarelistening #richmondpark #hammersmith #runnersofinstagram #sportsbrasquad #catcalling #londonfitness #londoncycling

Easy 10km with @sweatshoprunning SRC Teddington, and a much needed #runchat with a friend. My mind was all over the place this morning and I was filled with guilt after trying to cut my Eben’s toenails (a task we have done without incident many times 🤷🏼‍♀️) and last night it turned into world war 3 🤯😭😡🥺. And I don’t know if I was right or wrong for holding out, but my Eben is obviously more strong willed than me. Anyways, toenail-gate aside, the run this morning was lovely, and I’m glad I treated myself to the 10km and not just the 5km. 🤗 . . . . . #grouprun #sundayrun #10kmrun #easyrun #slowrun #sweatshoprunningcommunity #src #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunninguk #runningformentalhealth #ukrunchat #mamarun #mumlife #toenailgate #stubborn4yearold #strongwill #motherrunner #runningmum #runningmummy #runlikeamum #runnersofinstagram #runstagram #ukrunner #ukrunning #bushypark #mumguilt
Happy face, happy runner. not only did I get to see lots of lovely running friends including @julia.lowbridge & @hearntd who both did amazing 🙌🏻 but I also PB for the year 23:43 (still not beaten my 23:14 pb from 2017) but I think it’s the first time I’ve been in the 23s since then, so I’m on the right track. There were pacers at @bushyparkrun today which really helped. I was also 4th my category 🤗 How did everyone else do at ParkRun today? Do you like running with pacers? . . . . . #pb #pr #seasonbest #parkrun #loveparkrun #bushyparkrun #runlife #parkrunday #runnersofinstagram #5km #runhappy #runfast #motherrunner #runlikeamum #runningmum #runningmmy #thismumruns #thisgirlcanrun #fitgotreal #badassmotherrunner #healthybody #healthmind #runningformentalhealth #redjanuary #ukrunning #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunninguk #runchat #ukrunchat
It’s like dejavu here, same situation as yesterday, poorly child, working from home, so I knew I could at least squeeze in the exact same run as yesterday. But today I was very near the end of my audio book, and it’s very fast paced and intense as everything is being revealed 😬, so I inadvertently ran faster than yesterday. I’m actually loving just running right now, with not too much bother about pace, distance! But at the end I have to admit I was pleased with the pace, as my lovely mate @holliedocwra has been speeding up, and I’ve just been plodding along after the marathon. Nothing like a little friendly competition 😜. So anyone else like listening to an audio book while running? I love reading, so its win-win for me, as audio books allow me to squeeze it in. . . . . . . #schoolrun #schoolrunrun #mumruns #thismumruns #motherrunner #runningmummy #runningfriends #afterthemarathon #marathoner #runlife #runhappy #audible #audiobook #loverunning #runnersofinstagram #ukrunning #ukrunners #thisgirlcan #fitgotreal #runlikeagirl #runninginspiration #runningmotivation #stravarun #friyay #fridayrun #badassmotherrunner #runlikeamum #parkruntomorrow #dejavu
Just a little run after the school run, I call it the school run-run 💁🏼‍♀️. Not much time as my Eben had a fever all night, and was still clingon level 10 this morning 🐒 I’m lucky he let me out of his grasp to do the school run, so knew this would be my only opportunity. So I went through the whole process of writing out a training plan for an upcoming10k, and I actually can’t be bothered. So I’m just going to do my usual (weekly long, speed, & tempo runs), and not be shackled to a plan (like I was for the marathon). Do you love a plan or do your own thing, I’d love to hear. For the marathon it was comforting to have a plan, and I got a real buzz from following it, but prior to this, I’ve not loved super detailed plans. . . . . #toplanornottoplan #traingplan #planislife #10ktrainingplan #runningtraining #runningtrainingplan #marathontrainingplan #schoolrun #schoolrunmum #schoolrunrun #motherrunner #runnersofinsta #runningmotivation #runhappy #runningshorts #sunsoutlegsout #runnersofinstagram #mumlife #runningmummy #runlife #runninginspiration #runlikeagirl #thisgirlcanrun #loverunning #ukrunning
All the sparkles on my Monday morning cycle commute ☀️✨💛 Today started with me rushing around trying to tidy up and in my haste breaking a glass (and it broke everywhere - sink, floor, counter) 🙄 So all in all not a great start, but all the sparkles on the Thames giving me a big smile, which led to quite a productive day in the office, and a fun afternoon after school at the movies with my Ellis and a friend! Lots more exciting things to look forward to this week as well. Bring it on 🤗 . . . . . #cyclist #activecommute #mondaymorning #nevermissamonday #allthesparkles #goodforthesoul #mentalhealthawareness #healthybody #healthymind #detectivepikachu #bringiton #londoncyclist #riverthames #fitness #fitmum #earlybirthday #celebrate
