Standing on the edge and not jumping is often the easy option. Taking a leap in moments of doubt takes bravery and is what makes us grow. As Des Linden says, keep showing up. . Far from a conventional training block this time round but all things considered I am so delighted to finish in 4:03... not that far off my PB and a huge course record. It goes to show, every training block before the last counts too. . Felt mostly strong throughout even though the rain made it tough in part and no finish line pics on account of being so cold! . The ‘A’ goal was simply to come away with a positive experience no matter what that looked like as my best on the day, no time pressures. . Huge thanks for all the good luck wishes and to my coach, Tom Craggs for all your support and patience over this last while and having the belief we’d make it- it’s been great having you here. . Massive kudos to friends old and new...some epic runs yesterday! The weekend has reminded me yet again just how incredible the running community is and why I love travelling to these events so much. . Berlin, du bist so wunderbar. 🇩🇪🍻 . Now what’s next? 🙂 .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #berlinmarathon #berlinlegend #beatberlin42 #racetothegate #abbottwmm #sixstarfinisher #worldmarathonmajors #runhappy #keepshowingup #berlin #berlinmarathon2019 #abbott #runtheworld #runnersworld #travelrunrepeat #runningcommunity
A very exciting yet surreal moment seeing my name on the Abbott Six Star Finishers Wall of Fame. I’m in good company! 🏃🏼‍♀️🤩⭐️ . . #abbottwmm #sixstarfinisher #runtheworld #berlinmarathon
Next stop....Deutschland! 🇩🇪🏃🏼‍♀️💫 . Can’t believe we made it... Celebratory star jump mandatory! . #berlinmarathon #berlinmarathon2019 #beatberlin42 #marathon #marathontraining #abbottwmm #sixstarfinisher #growthmindset #sportpsychology #runninginjury #keepshowingup #nohumanislimited #twentysixpointtwo
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
