#thisgirlcanrun photos & videos

Don’t usually post my runs on here. But I’ve been slacking a little lately so I’m going to try posting them and seeing if it makes me a little more accountable. I originally set out to do 7miles but I guess the route and obviously got it wrong. I actually enjoyed it. Slower than normal but I intentionally took it easy when I realised I’d be doing 2 extra miles. *********************************************************** #jogging #gethealthyordietrying #weightlossjourney #herbivore #veganweightloss #slimmingworld #slimmingworlduk #slimmingworldvegan #vegan #vegandiet #veganslimmingworld #weightloss #fattofit #jogger #applewatch #veganrunners #applefitnessclub #veganrunner #runtastic #nogymnoproblem #runner #thisgirlcanrun @slimmingworld

💥ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE💥 Those words on the wall at the front of the studio tonight were just what I needed to see. Never in a million years would I have thought that I could run 7 miles around hilly Edinburgh on a windy Wednesday teatime and then go straight into a body pump class. Literally, anything is possible, you just need to put your mind to it 💪🏻 #nowimstarvingthough #willbeinbitstomorrow #manchestermarathontraining #marathontraining #manchestermarathon2019 #ukrunchat #instarunners #imoveme #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #asicsfrontrunner #runlikeagirl #runnergirl #halfmarathon #halfmarathoners #marathoners #runnersofinstagram #running #runnersworld #runtheworld #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #womensrunningcommunity #trailrunning #teamprojectrun #tpr #forzaTPR

Super happy! Non-stop 5K with progressive splits 😁 I mean it bloody hurt and I might be broken tomorrow but YAY #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #instarunners #garmin #fitbit

Yahooooo this is my 2nd fastest 5k ever by about 1 second!! Which is pretty good going for me. I'm starting to notice a difference now that I'm actually sticking to running regularly. I wonder if I can get this any shorter. I didn't feel out of breath when I finished and I most probably could of pushed myself a tiny bit harder at the end.. 🤔 Next time maybe!!! Also kinda liking how symmetrical the splits were 😆😆

Let’s talk times 👇 . Near enough from the moment I signed up to Edinburgh back in September last year invariably I have been asked what time I’m hoping to run it in. . It’s a difficult question because whilst of course I have some goals in my head, without ever having run a marathon before it’s near impossible to say whether I would meet a specific time or not, and more importantly, whether it matters to me. . We all have days running where we feel invincible, smash through PBs and get the ultimate runners high, but these are rare. For the most part, training for the marathon is just really hard work: it’s putting on the trainers when you’re already tired, the weather is shitty, your legs are sore and you just want to veg out with a glass of wine. . On these days, I have to continually remind myself why I’m doing the marathon. Why subject yourself to something that is so exhausting and time consuming when you don’t have to? . Well, I have a few reasons I’m doing the marathon: 🏃🏼‍♀️ I want to raise a lot of money for the charity I have chosen to support, @charliewalleruk 🏃🏼‍♀️I love running and I wanted to see what I can do 🏃🏼‍♀️As a personal journey, proving to myself I can do it even though it terrifies me . None of the above are diminished by not meeting a specific time goal. In fact, a time goal isn’t even really relevant to those factors. . It’s all too easy to put ourselves under pressure and obsess about the numbers but ultimately you have to ask yourself: what do you gain from achieving that specific time? . When I cross the line on marathon day, I want to be exhausted. I want to know I gave it my heart and soul and laid everything I have out on the 26.2 miles behind me. I want to know that I did my absolute best and cherish the experience forever. And most importantly, I want to have loved it. That’s my goal. . This is with no disrespect to those chasing down PBs either (go get em!), but when the going gets tough always remember what your own reasons are for running and make sure there’s space in your mind to enjoy the journey. . Don’t let yourself be stressed out by something you’re supposed to love ❤️ . P.S rare snap of me doing hills 🤷‍♀️

Rubbish sleep last couple of nights so absolutely shattered, not much motivation going on this week but determined to push through! A 5k PB was included in tonight’s run, 1 minute and 1 second off my previous, so despite motivation being low I am still getting results! 3 weeks on Sunday!! #halfmarathontraining #staffordhalfmarathon #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinsta #runnersofinstagram #runninggoals #fitnessgoals #fitnessmotivation #fitness #runner #run #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunning #runhappy #chasingfitness #chasingthemarathon #wednesday #wednesdayrunning

The ‘Route 66 Challenge’ for February consisted of a minimum distance of 66km in the month of February. I signed up for it to keep me on track with my half marathon training and as February is a short month, to help me cover as much distance as possible. I submitted my evidence at 70.9km on 17th February, as my longest run to date (10 miles) took me over the 66km threshold, and I thought I’d reward myself with the medal even though I still have plenty of time and a lot of miles to cover before the end of the month!

PB KLAXON 🚨✨ Not just of this year, but of ALL TIME. After Athens, I was really struggling with my fitness and went through November and December hardly running and mostly eating Camembert. All fun and games and I regret nothing- but it meant come January and the start of a new training cycle, I was so far behind. I was struggling to get a 5k completed in under 35 minutes and despite everyone telling me, ‘well at least you’re out there!’ I was so demoralised. It seemed like all of my training and every drink (ha) I had turned down and every time I did a run commute in the rain had been utterly pointless because I was back to where I started when I first ventured down to Valentine’s Parkrun in an ill-fitting pair of trainers. . . . But there was no need for doom and gloom. There’s clearly there’s some retained fitness and muscle memory at work, because 6 weeks on- it seems I’m back on track, finishing today’s 5k in 26.41. It’s only 13 seconds shaved off my previous time, but I am so delighted to be back here so soon 🤩 . . . Nothing on the plan tomorrow, but I’m going to get out for a daily mile (inspired by @tea_runner!) as I enjoy my last day of half term chill before sorting out my classroom on Friday and a busy weekend. Happy running everyone! . . . #running #runner #runnergirl #run #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #womensrunning #womensrunningcommunity #ukrunchat #londonrunners #londonrunning #ukrunners #runningcommunity #5k #fitness #training #marathontraining #vlm2019 #manchestermarathon2019 #halfmarathontraining #instarun #instarunners #instafitness #pb #personalbest #runlikeagirl

WCW . If you haven’t already watched it then I’d recommend giving the @asicsfrontrunner documentary on a team of ambassadors, including the amazing @rushbynature who complete the Dubai to Oman coast to coast 180km Ultra in four days. . This group of women had such a mix of abilities, including some never having ran a marathon distance before. Showing how strong us women can be if we put our mind to it. . It looked so tough but they worked together as a team to support each other through. Such an inspiring video, it makes me think even more about completing some kind of overseas Ultra adventure 🤔 • • #rundiary #runblog #runrunrun #marathongirl #ukrunchat #inspiringwomenrunners #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #runtoinspire #runlikeagirl #igrunners #runnersofinstagram #imoveme #marathoner #runandtalk #runningnurse #runstagram #thinkfitpod #devongirlscan #wellfar #fitgotreal #ultrarunning #coasttocoast #asicsfrontrunner2019 #wcw #womencrushwednesday #girlpower #runninginspiration #ultramarathon

Training isn't as it's supposed to be 3.5 weeks before my first half marathon. Two weeks ago I injured my leg on my run, I couldn't even walk properly for 1.5 weeks and today I wanted to see how the leg was feeling (top of thigh / joint), but I can feel it straight away. Boo.

DAY 73 | These last few days of run commuting has been really tough and I'm struggling to run the whole way home without having to stop for multiple walking breaks. It's almost as though my legs know I'm no longer wearing full length tights and they're having a hissy fit 😂 Wore my @tikiboofitness Cookie Monster capris for the first time, super comfy, love them! Had a big stretch out in the garden, taking advantage of this light emweve got, makes me very happy! 😁

Does any one else have quirky, small habits/rituals before a race? 🤞🏃🏼‍♀️ As I prepare for my next marathon (in exactly 7 days!) in Tindouf, Algeria, it is important to always make sure that there will still be opportunity for me to squeeze in my holy pre-race routine. 🙌🏼 After all, runners are ritualistic creatures and no matter the race destination, having some sort of pre-race ritual can help settle nerves, so you can maximize potential. Some of my pre-race rituals: 1️⃣ Always putting my left running shoe on first. 👟 2️⃣ Splashing my face with cold water. 💦 3️⃣ Drinking a big cup of coffee beforehand (when times get desperate, I even bring instant coffee packets.) ☕️ 4️⃣ Sending a pre-race boomerang to my family, doing some sort of embarrassing dance. 🕺🏽 5️⃣ …starting each and every marathon listening to either Ace of Base or Daft Punk (die hard fan of cheesy 80’s & 90’s) 🎤 I'd love to hear some of yours, please comment below! 🙏🏼✨ #30marathonsbefore30 . . . . . #runner #runningcommunity #womenwhorun #runtoexplore #thetravelwomen #passportready #postcardsfromtheworld #irunthisbody #arountheworld #marathontraining #worldcaptures #runspiration #furtherfasterstronger #marathonrunner #running #letsgoeverywhere #runplanet #neverstoptravelling #getstrong #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #runaddict #lovetorun #runhappy #thisgirlcanrun #trainlikeachampion #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunner2019 #runningmotivation

Most winter days I just want to stay inside. To be warm and spend the morning sipping coffee and evenings tucked under a blanket next to a fire. But sometimes. Not very often. And the sentiments are always short-lived and fleeting. But sometimes winter takes my hand and shows me its beauty.

Day 6 - and forgive me Instagram for I have sinned Do you ever have a day where its hard to just get out the door? But then when you're out there, you just want to run hard and fast and strong Well today was that day. I ran errands all afternoon and confess I was struggling to get motivated for even my mile, it went from a run to a walk to a stroll back to a run again. But with my kids at their Grandma's for the afternoon I thought I'd give a run a go The minute I started I knew I wouldn't stop at one mile. My route is a mile downhill and a mile uphill back and I flew. A sub 9mm which was strong for me on a down, but even the mile back up was a sub 10. Every stride was pushed through my hips, I felt every muscle working as it should and I felt on fire. Until the end when I felt like this face, as I havent done a hard run like that for a long time Will I regret this tomorrow? I hope not, but maybe. Does my knee hurt? No, and nothing did whilst running, but that's not to say it won't tomorrow. But right now I'm basking in my sub 20 minutes two mile rule breaker #dailymile #dailymilechallenge #runner #running #instagramrunners #runnersofinstagram #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #thismumruns #garmin #run #asics #asicsfrontrunner #tikiboo #rehab #injury #sickface #breaktherules #myactiveyear #loverunning #womensrunninguk #inspiringwomenrunners #ukrunchat #igrunners #womensrunningcommunity

Take 2! 🤦‍♀️ And today’s lesson is.... expect the unexpected 🤪. ⁣ ⁣ The training plan today asked for a 7 mile recovery run 🏃‍♀️. I thought I’d knock 3 of those miles on the head by running into town with the boys on their bikes 😆. ⁣ ⁣ Today’s fun included:⁣ ⁣ 😫 H managing to get his bike chain caught in the wheel nut by attempting to change gears without pedalling 🤦‍♀️. We’d literally got about 50 metres down the road so had to turn back so I could free it with a screwdriver 🤨. ⁣ 😳 H cycling into a lamppost as he was too busy chatting (fortunately he just clipped it with his handlebars!)⁣ 🤯. ⁣ 🤕 R landing in a hedge (don’t ask. He was stationary at the time. I mean, he’s fine, but still....😱). ⁣ Anyway, we made it (and had coffee and cakes in the middle too! 🧁). I was super proud of them, especially little R who needed a few rest stops on the way back up the hill (see the second photo!) 😰 but still made it! ⁣ ⁣ Just the 4 miles for me to do tonight now 👍. Phew! ⁣I’ll miss their chatting but it will be a lot easier/less stressful when it’s just me! 😉 ⁣ #motherrunner #mumswhorun #runningmum #runmummyrun #runningwiththekids #marathon #marathontraining #halfterm #workoutwiththekids #mum #womensrunningcommunity #womensrunninguk #badassmotherrunner #thisgirlcanrun #familyworkout⁣ #guildford #surrey #outdoors #family #EMF2019 #edinburghmarathon

I ran today 🏃🏼‍♀️ It wasn’t particularly far or very fast, but I ran and it was awesome 🙌🏼 . Six months ago today I was waiting for surgery on a broken ankle (a bimalleolar fracture) and recovery has been fucking awful. Slow, painful and much harder than I anticipated - and I’m still not close to full strength but today is a huge win 💪🏻

Sometimes you just need to remind yourself just how far you have come .... 💜 it’s easy to have a blip, but what defines us is how we move forwards from that, how we learn and how we grow. Society puts pressure on us to be perfect, to focus on the negative, to focus on where we are not, rather then from how far we have come... keep moving forwards and celebrate all achievements no matter how small ... almost 5 stone down 👌🏻💪🏻 #devongirlscan #fitgotreal #activedevon #running #runningmotivation #runchat #run #runchatuk #runninggirl #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #halfmarathontraining #halfmarathon #runninglife #fattofit #fattofitjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossjourney #weightlosswednesday #strongwomen #workforit #justjogbideford #thisgirldid

Fishponds!!!! Yes you read that right, today's run started and ended in Fishponds. Only fitting that today's run selfie should feature me and a giant fish. 8 miles for today. An out and back on the old disused railway line now cycle path that runs between Bristol and Bath. Bit of pretty with a good solid path. Perfect! First four miles were really strong, three 10 minute miles. Turn around and miles six to eight were more of a struggle. Last half a mile I had to drag my legs through it to make it. Oh... It's hard, it's a battle, it's not yet the fun of old but every so often I get little flashes of it. Every so often I get a little taste of what's to come. #slimmingworld #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #runnersofinstagram #focusedfeburary #runninggoals #runninginspiration #runninggirl #runningismytherapy #runhappy #runrunrun #halfmarathontraining #runtheworld #ukrunchat #ukrunclub #bristoltobath #spibeltuk #bristolfoodie #bristolbloggers #bristolrunners #runbristol

I've been switching things up in my last few running sessions, and it has filtered into my commute. On Sunday I ran 8 miles and knew it would take me about 80 minutes, so didn't fancy listening to the same old Ministry of Sound playlists on my iPod, as great as they have been so far. So I very quickly downloaded a few podcasts and books and got them up on my 2nd iPod nano. Turns out it's a pretty awesome, positive thing to have women telling me about their incredible adventures - warts and all - while I'm pounding the pavement. I'm so inspired by them, it's amazing. As soon as this semester is over, I'm packing my overnight bag and testing my bivvy out, somewhere in the beautiful Scottish wilds. Thanks Sarah & tribe, it's awesome! #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #toughgirlpodcast #toughgirl #toughgirlchallenges #annamcnuff #kikomatthews #fayeshepherd #thisgirlcancycle #thisgirlcanride #adventurequeen #adventure #adventurequeens #getoutside #getinspired #mountainsforthemind

I'm supposed to be walking to and from work this week but I was running late this morning so I ended up driving so I forced myself into a run even though I didn't want to and while I don't now I'll feel a thousand times better for it later #running #runner #roadrunner #exercise #unfit #fitness #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #shecantbutshewishesshecould #GFHG #GFG #gracefituk

No filter post-run selfie. Did my measurements this morning and I've pretty much lost half an inch off everywhere in the 12 weeks since I last measured. Meh. And about 3 or 4lbs. In 12 weeks. Double meh. Off-plan morning done (maaaany uncounted syns), finished by going for a fast (by pace, not by feel) run. My legs are awesome. My mind is awesome. Let's see if that jolts my body to shed the pounds I don't want. . . #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #swglasgow #swstories #swstruggles #swrunner #swrunners #slimmingworld #bodymagic #bodypositive #strongisthenewskinny #strongnotskinny #slimmingworldrunner #fuckitbucket

Slow 5km in my favourite place. Run slightly against the medical advice. Unfortunately for me I can’t participate in my ultra race - still hoping for the marathon but chances are very slim :(. I’m extremely sad but if I cannot change it, I’ll have to accept it, fix myself with the surgery and run like a crazy again 😊 #thisgirlcanrun #thisgirlcan #instarunners #marathontraining #vegan #veganrunner #poweredbyplants #marathonprep #slowrun #morningrun #polishrunner #osterleypark #blonderunner #dramaqueen #addictedtorunning

Mixing up the new and old school @runmummyrun kit today! . Had to nip out as, despite reminding him three times this morning, hubby phoned to say he had forgotten his lunch 🤣 So the cap was perfect to chuck on over my wet hair as I'd just got out the shower! . How are you all finding half-term? I'm struggling to fit everything in and keep the kids entertained, Robs working every minute he can to get as much money in before the baby arrives. House looks like a toy factory exploded but it will have to stay that way until they go back to school 🤣 . You can order the cap from the website now, link is in my bio! . #runmummyrun #rmrkit #runningkit #runningaccessories #mumswhorun #womensrunninguk #runningmummy #girlswhorun #womenrun #fitmum #runnergirl #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #ukrunchat #ukrunners #runtogether #runtoinspire #runningmum #runrunrun #inspiringwomenrunners #runforfun #runnerslife #runtheday #instarun #runningcommunity #runnershigh #womensrunning #schoolholidays #workingmum #instamum

Yeaaaahh I know I posted this pic yesterday but I love it so I'm posting it again on its own. 😁 Today is a day where anything feels possible! I have a tendancy to get stuck trying to be perfectly prepared before I do something. But sometimes you've just got to accept that you will make mistakes and learn stuff along the way and leap in with both feet. No the picture really has no relevance, I just like it! 🤣💥

Beautiful 8 miles in Cardiff this morning 🌞 . After waking up with a pretty nasty sore head and throat, I'm feeling pretty great after that 😁 I know that no matter how rubbish I'm feeling, getting out there and running cures all!! .

Super pleased with this today! Week 6 run 2, did the two 10 minute runs and then added an extra 10 minutes as my legs felt good. Hope I can manage the next run which is 25 minutes!

Off-road hill reps to start the day, yay? Only did three = 2.2 miles but the hills to get up there are steep, especially early in the morning(!) Got a twinge in my knee still with the addition of being a woman hitting me hard today, I decided to not push myself. Mainly speed walked up, and then ran down to practise downhill technique, as I know the descent is where I can pull back lost time. I averaged at just over 14.30 minute mile pace which I’m not too happy with as though I didn’t stop at all, I really need to be under 12.00/mile for the weekend 😱Hoping with a strapped up knee, my time of the month gone and it being an actual race, will all help me reach my goal of getting it under an hour. 🤞🏻 P.S Also got hassled by the same dog, as always, that is off lead at that time in the morning. Beautiful, playful dog but I didn’t want to play and it’s owners are so rude they really don’t seem to give two hoots. When I find my voice, one day I’ll say something! Rant over.

Does any one else have quirky, small habits/rituals before a race? 🤞🏃🏼‍♀️ As I prepare for my next marathon (in exactly 7 days!) in Tindouf, Algeria, it is important to always make sure that there will still be opportunity for me to squeeze in my holy pre-race routine. 🙌🏼 After all, runners are ritualistic creatures and no matter the race destination, having some sort of pre-race ritual can help settle nerves, so you can maximize potential. Some of my pre-race rituals: 1️⃣ Always putting my left running shoe on first. 👟 2️⃣ Splashing my face with cold water. 💦 3️⃣ Drinking a big cup of coffee beforehand (when times get desperate, I even bring instant coffee packets.) ☕️ 4️⃣ Sending a pre-race boomerang to my family, doing some sort of embarrassing dance. 🕺🏽 5️⃣ …starting each and every marathon listening to either Ace of Base or Daft Punk (die hard fan of cheesy 80’s & 90’s) 🎤 I'd love to hear some of yours, please comment below! 🙏🏼✨ #30marathonsbefore30 . . . . . #runner #runningcommunity #womenwhorun #runtoexplore #thetravelwomen #passportready #postcardsfromtheworld #irunthisbody #arountheworld #marathontraining #worldcaptures #runspiration #furtherfasterstronger #marathonrunner #running #letsgoeverywhere #runplanet #neverstoptravelling #getstrong #womensrunningcommunity #instarunners #runaddict #lovetorun #runhappy #thisgirlcanrun #trainlikeachampion #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunner2019 #runningmotivation

🏃🏽‍♀️Hi! My name is Jevi and I'm here to share my love of running and challenge stereotypes. Born and raised in Norway, I hope to inspire others to run and help make running more diverse. Running has changed my life . . . I started running two years ago. For me it was about finding time for myself and in turn helping my emotional and physical wellbeing 💆🏽‍♀️ . . . When I first started running, it was a very lonely road for me. I would run alone. Turn up at races alone and go home alone . I’d endure comments like ‘Do you think you are Superwoman?' I was asked what I even knew about running. ‘Mo Farah’ some would call me even though I’m not fast. Simply because I chose running . . . My love for running carried me through and my determination to complete @londonmarathon last year shut them all up. I was going against the stereotypes and breaking barriers . . . I’ve now been a Runleader for my own running group for over a year. I’ve also recently set up @runners_renew_programme collecting used running shoes to benefit other runners from deprived or disaffected minority backgrounds. In turn, also helping the environment . . . My aim is not fast times and lots of racing but to be a role model for others and to make running more inclusive . . . I will also be handing out free hugs whilst cheering at @manchestermarathon 😊😇 . . 📸 @carelduplessis . #ad #ASICSfrontrunner #ASICSFrontRunnerUK #iMoveMe #diversityinrunning #challengestereotypes #breakingbarriers #run #womeninsport #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #womenrunning #inspiringwomenrunners #instarun #runnersofinstagram #ukrunchat

A very windswept but lovely #motivationmonday ☀️🍃 . Making the most of the first day of half term and still being at home visiting the parents with a 3 mile recovery run in the sunshine, a gorgeous walk my best mate Bam Bam 🐾 and a hardcore Zumba class like the old days with @kirsty.hammond.18 😅 . To celebrate motivation Monday I have also written a brand new blog post all about how to stay motivated! Check it out.

Day 6 - and forgive me Instagram for I have sinned Do you ever have a day where its hard to just get out the door? But then when you're out there, you just want to run hard and fast and strong Well today was that day. I ran errands all afternoon and confess I was struggling to get motivated for even my mile, it went from a run to a walk to a stroll back to a run again. But with my kids at their Grandma's for the afternoon I thought I'd give a run a go The minute I started I knew I wouldn't stop at one mile. My route is a mile downhill and a mile uphill back and I flew. A sub 9mm which was strong for me on a down, but even the mile back up was a sub 10. Every stride was pushed through my hips, I felt every muscle working as it should and I felt on fire. Until the end when I felt like this face, as I havent done a hard run like that for a long time Will I regret this tomorrow? I hope not, but maybe. Does my knee hurt? No, and nothing did whilst running, but that's not to say it won't tomorrow. But right now I'm basking in my sub 20 minutes two mile rule breaker #dailymile #dailymilechallenge #runner #running #instagramrunners #runnersofinstagram #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #thismumruns #garmin #run #asics #asicsfrontrunner #tikiboo #rehab #injury #sickface #breaktherules #myactiveyear #loverunning #womensrunninguk #inspiringwomenrunners #ukrunchat #igrunners #womensrunningcommunity

#transformationtuesday: I’m not showing these photos for self-gratification, in fact I’m still uncomfortable with the exposure that comes with social media, but myself and my husband decided that if there is a possibility that just one person is in the same position that I was in 7 years ago, and this message reaches them, then it is worth it! I am a twin mum. My pregnancy was tough and caused significant physical damage (a whole other story that I intend to blog). Today, I just want to say that if your pregnancies have changed your body beyond belief, PLEASE don’t give up hope. Take time to heal, research all of your options and don’t be afraid to seek medical and/or emotional support. Importantly, never be afraid to question the answers you hear or seek a second opinion. My journey was plagued with setbacks and misinformation, but eventually I found answers in the strangest of places. It was a VERY LONG road to recovery, but it was worth it, and I am now achieving more than I ever could have dreamed of. #iracelikeagirl #momof3 #healthyliving #thisgirlcanrun #postnatalfitness #postnatal #postnatalexercise #postnatalhealth #postpartumbody #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney #diastasisrecti #diastasisrectirecovery #journeywithsteph #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunner2019 #inspiringwomenrunners #womenshealthuk #womensrunninguk #womensrunningcommunity

💕 And so the fun begins 💕 Race day flatlay 🙌 . Ready as I'll ever be for the @quicksilverrunning Hampton Court Half. As usual it's been fun and games with the knee but hoping the @rjosteopathy touch will give me some luck. It looks like I'm being paced by my running coach (and now friend 💗) @debsmvfitness for a sub 2 hour. I'm so nervous as want the knee to hold out, please please send me lucky vibes!! 🙏 . I shall keep you updated on my insta stories and take you on the race day journey with me. Whatever happens I've loved the training, being out on the trails, meeting new friends to run and train with. If nothing else I've found value in this alone 💗 . Good luck to everyone running and racing tomorrow. Let me know where you are and what you're up to?? . I'm off to eat loads of pasta!! 🍀 . #runmummyrun #halfmarathon #halfmarathontraining #hamptoncourthalf #roadrace #brooksrunninguk #brookswomen #runhappy #adrenalinegts19 #mumswhorun #girlswhorun #runningmummy #runningmum #runningcommunity #inspiringwomenrunners #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #ukrunchat #ukrunners #ukrunner #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanrun #runnergirl #runningismytherapy #runrunrun #runforfun #whyirun

I run for: 🧡 Fitness 🧡 The challenge 🧡 Social time 🧡 My positive mindset . Running has always been a way of me keeping fit and achieving goals, but over the last few months it has become a way of dealing with daily stresses and a way to reset the focus in my mind. Without running I wouldnt be as focused, as goal driven and as willing to push myself out of my comfort zone as I am now. . The last few months have been interesting away from my running life. For those of you that dont know over the past 4 years I have been working as a secondary school teacher. This is a job that I really enjoyed but over the last year it's a job that I have been increasingly unhappy with for many reasons! . Just under a month ago, I decided to change this unhappy pattern. Without boring you with all of the details I made the difficult decision to leave teaching and this week I have secured a new job that I am so excited about! . Marathon training has been a massive help in dealing with these big decisions and have helped me to appreciate what is truly important in life! I have always loved running, but over the last couple of months it has become a lot more than just putting my trainers on and heading out the door! . Running is brilliant! What are your reasons for running? . #runhappy #reasonstorun #thisgirlcan #strongwomen #marathontraining #positivemindset #manchestermarathon
