THAT WAS PANTS • The first two miles of my 10km I felt fine but suddenly and cruelly without warning I started to feel light headed and woozy. • Walking felt ok so the next four miles were a slow plod back home again. • I don’t know what caused it: tiredness from training, lack of protein in my diet or not enough water through the day. Whatever it was I hope it buggers off! • • #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #igrunners #runtogether #mentalhealthrunner #trailrunner #runhappy #runnerscommunity #runners #instarunner #marathontraining #runfam #running #instarun #happyrunner #runningblog #runningblogger #runner

☕️+🏃‍♂️ • Sometimes in life all you need is a coffee and a run with a mate to make your day. • I posted yesterday about how running is a team sport and today’s run with @chubs2ridgewaylife has just reinforced my thinking. • So next time you feel down or in a slump message a mate and ask to go for a run it make all the difference to just chat and chafe together. • #supportinsport • • #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat #runningismytherapy #trailrunner #igrunners #ukrunner #runner #runtogether #runchat #trailrunning #runnerscommunity #runfam #runnersworld #runhappy #mentalhealthrunner #running #londonmarathontraining #findmyhappy

RUNNING IS A TEAM SPORT • When I started running I ran alone. Training and raceday were always solo activities. • BUT through my running club, old friends and new friends I now understand that to be a better runner you need to have a good support network around you. They will ground you, inspire you and listen to you drone on and on about running.... • I know that without these wonderful people included in these pictures from the past few months plus countless more I would not be the runner I am today. • Social media is also a part of that support system, so thank you ❤️ • • #supportinsport #hamptoncourthalfmarathon #runningclub #igrunners #runnersofinstagram #instarunners #ukrunchat #runningfriends #ukrunner #runningismytherapy #mondaymotivation #medalmonday #igrunner #runchat #runnersworld #runhappy #marathontraining #training #furtherfasterstronger #runtoinspire

🚨HALF PB🚨 • Cannot believe that just happened!!! • I started the race thinking a sub two hour half would be the aim but as soon as I started I could feel my legs begging to go faster. • So I pushed on and come the finish line I’d clocked up a new half marathon PB 1:49:11. • Ok it’s only a PB by 9 seconds but in running it’s all about the small wins! • Now I’m off to walk 7 miles along the Thames Path to make up the miles on my training plan. • #hamptoncourthalf #halfmarathon #personalbest #pb #hamptoncourthalfmarathon #igrunners #ukrunchat #runchat #instarunners #runhappy #sundayrunday #runningismytherapy #ukrunner #raceday #runfam #instarunner #igrunner #raceface #supportinsport #running #halfmarathontraining #londonmarathon #marathontraining #runners

HERE WE GO AGAIN • I love the Hampton Court Half because it was my first race of 2016, which was my first full year of running. It also the first thing I ever posted about on this Instagram account! To top of the reasons I love this race, it’s an excuse to stay with two of my favourite humans who have been so incredibly supportive through out my running adventures. • I’ve got no time goal as I’m running extra mileage after it so there zero expectations and zero pressure. I aim to simply enjoy the views, the atmosphere and of course the medal! • • #hamptoncourthalf #halfmarathon #flatlay #ukrunner #raceday #igrunners #ukrunchat #halfmarathonrunner #instarunners #runnersofinstagram #fitnessmotivation #runningismytherapy #igrunner #runnerscommunity #runfam #marathontraining #londonmarathon #runhappy
