A fast (by my standards, at least) 7.5K. Sunday’s Run the River seems to have lifted me out of a slump. There was a strong smell of bonfires drifting down from the allotments. Managed to sting my leg on the nettles at the edge of the path. #Running #UKRunChat
Decision made. Alicante Marathon is on. Chilly morning miles. Another step towards the goal race for the year. Big six weeks ahead 👊👊 #ukrunchat #running
This is my view of the out and back B Course at Waverley Lakes parkrun
A long gradual outward climb, then turning around to head back down again, run all on gravel paths

Tuesday gym session. Still not allowed to put too much strain on my shoulder, so today was a treadmill/bike workout. So glad to be back running. #runnersofbluesky #UKRunChat
It was warm, humid and windy, but the big dark clouds didn’t turn into rain. Ran 7K in my new Run the River T-shirt. Two hellos. There was a strong aroma of wacky baccy at one point along the route. #Running #UKRunChat
2026 Oxford half marathon completed
Over the moon with how it went, set a new PB and by nearly 2 minutes, with a time of 01:26:56

Took part in the Run the River 10K set up by Edmonton Running Club, along the River Lee in Lee Valley. Maybe the best organised event I’ve been to. Brilliant marshalls. A beautiful route. Managed not to fall in the canal and got my third fastest ever 10K time. #Running #UKRunChat #RunTheRiver
Yay for an abso stunning sunrise; completely changed my route to see it on top of the hill! Fabby 6miles all done as per Half plan & included 2 hills & so chuffed as my legs loved them; so much stronger so well pleased!! Really enjoyed this rural run early doors! #ukrunchat #running 🏃♀️🥳🌅❤️
Sunday morning beach miles with Maxine with a stunning sky and some beautiful beach art as an unexpected bonus. Another week doing more than thirty miles. Feeling strong. #ukrunchat #running #fitness
Beautiful morning for a run 🍁 #ukrunchat #sundayrunday #runhappy
Changing the date of the marathon eight weeks out isn’t great, but I’ve decided to go for it. Reset this week, now back on the plan and onwards to December. #running #ukrunchat
A very windy #Rotherhamparkrun

Well done all parkrunners & volunteers!👏🏼
A cold morning, so I needed to wear two tops. Ran 6.5K as the sun was rising. No cats. A lot of dogs. Four hellos. #Running #UKRunChat
The struggle to get up and out in the darkness and run is always worth it when this is what greets you. Some head torch lit miles on the moors to kick off Thursday. #moonrise #ukrunchat #running
This is my view of going for a new course PB at the fish hook shaped out and back #selbyparkrun
Set off quick, legs felt good and held on to the end, so knew I was going to be for a good time, didn't know how quick!
Hard at the moment to know exactly what to do, after Alicante Marathon was pushed back two weeks. Keeping the training plan going while I decide. 7 gorgeous miles this morning. #ukrunchat #marathon #running
Another misty start. Ran 8K. Three hellos. Saw a dog that looked lost. I hope he found his owner. #Running #UKRunChat
