The comeback is always stronger than the setback. 💫🏃🏼‍♀️...I’m ready! . #keepshowingup #marathontraining #berlinmarathon

💫 Your B E S T - If you always try your best, You’ll never have to wonder, About what you could have done, If you’d summoned all your thunder. . And if your best was not as good, As you hoped it would be, You still could say, I gave today all that I had in me. 💫 I love how much work is currently being done in schools around wellbeing and growth mindset; helping children to understand that challenges are opportunities to help us grow and with training, just like a muscle this practice gets stronger over time. . I saw the words from this poem on a poster in a school yesterday and it really resonated with me. . Although week 13 hasn’t exactly been perfect in terms of #manchestermarathon training, it was a little reminder that I have tried my best. . It might not have been my best in terms of running thanks to a few extra rest days to let a little niggle settle down but on a positive note I’ve given it my best to focus on other areas I can control; prioritising rest, sleep, strength and conditioning alongside lots of good food and that’s just as important when it comes to #marathontraining . I haven’t banked the miles I’d hope to this week but I’m not panicking- I have banked a lot of other big positives for the training bank. . Be kind to yourself. We are all just doing our best. 💛🏃‍♀️🙌 . #growthmindset #growthmindsetclassroom #marathonrunner #sportpsychology

Running in the rain...exercise, therapy and a shower all at the same time! ☔️🏃‍♀️🙌 . 45 minute recovery run in the company of Storm Gareth last night. Legs a bit heavy from Sunday’s long run but some easy miles always helps. . HaPpY HuMpDaY! . #manchestermarathon #marathontraining #recoveryrun

#MedalMonday . 📝🏃‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️🧘‍♀️ Training is doing your homework and yesterday I got a big old pat on the back in the form of this lovely bling for doing my homework. . It’s great to be able to use races to tick off some or all of the miles during those longer runs...definitely helps keep the motivation and fun factor alive. . Ready for another week of lessons. Week 13 #manchestermarathon training...let’s go! 🙌🙏🏻 . #keepshowingup #everydaysaschoolday #marathontraining

Hillingdon- you blew me away...quite literally! 💨🏃‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No racing today, using Hillingdon 20 as a training run if there is ever such a thing as an easy 20 miles? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tough conditions with the winds over a rather undulating route and the 4 lap course gave the brain as good a workout as the body but happy to get that one in the bag. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Incredibly friendly marshals from Hillingdon AC cheering and offering support on EVERY single lap all whilst doing a sterling job on traffic control duties to keep all of us runners safe. Thanks folks for organising a great event! 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some amazing races and long runs being smashed today- massive kudos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tomorrow...we go again. 4 weeks to go! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #manchestermarathon #hillingdon20 #longrun #marathontraining

. Resemblance uncanny? That was so needed this morning! 45 minutes of easy running settling the cheeky and V E R Y premature M a r a n o i a Gremlins. 🤷‍♀️🤯😂🏃‍♀️ . Tomorrow’s long run is the Finchley 20. I’m so looking forward to just turning up and running...no need to think about route, carrying water etc. Using it as a chance to test out race kit and fuelling. . Lots of big races this weekend- good luck folks!🍀🙌 . #manchestermarathon #marathontraining #saturdayrun #keepshowingup
