When you’re going to be saying goodbye to your husband in 2 hours time and the next time you’ll see him he’ll have covered 80 miles/40,000 feet ascent over the Italian Alps😅😘

Probably the only runner in Courmayeur training for a 153 mile road race🤦‍♀️😆🤣
.
It’s a good job I like running laps as today’s run consisted of 25 x 0.4 mile laps of the block next to our hotel😆

Today on a mixed terrain/undulating course and at the end of 70+ mile training week with no taper, I ran a 3:15:59 PB (3rd lady) at New Forest Marathon🥳
.
The conclusion we can draw from this is that I had a really crap marathon PB before🙈😆🤣
.
Super happy that with just 1 week of training left for Spartathlon everything feels like it has come together perfectly....the road to Sparta continues😊🙏

Questioning your life choices as you do your speedwork on this morning’s run in a down jacket, 2 base layers, leggings and a woolly hat🤔🤦‍♀️🤣💦

10 years ago this week I had just got back from spending 6 months travelling round South East Asia, and when I returned to London I decided to stop smoking, cut back on my drinking, and stop spending every weekend off my face in clubs/after clubs/after after clubs😆
.
I thought running might keep me on the straight and narrow, so I bought a pair of trainers and went on my first run since being at school; 1 mile around our local park in Ealing. I had no great running aspirations, I just thought maybe one day I’d be able to run 6 miles which seemed like a nice number of miles to be able to run😆
.
Later this month I’m on the start line for Spartathlon, generally considered to be the most prestigious ultra marathon in the world, where I’ll be attempting to follow in the footsteps of Pheidippides and run 153 miles from Athens to Sparta in less than 36 hours😅
.
Thank you legs for the amazing places you have taken me to over the past 10 years❤️

Photo 1➡️Indonesia August 2009, back in the days when I used to think drinking a mushroom shake and a Bintang beer at the same time was a good idea🤣

Photos 2-10➡️Some of my favourite places my legs have taken me🙏

Four days into parliament and he looks like a concerned relative has found him drinking heavily and shouting at pigeons in a bin
