HYROX Glasgow smashed (or maybe it smashed me) in 1:16! 🏋️‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Big shoutout to my brother for keeping me alive—barely. A humbling reminder that being a casual runner doesn’t mean you casually survive this. Already signing up for the next one because apparently, I enjoy suffering. 😂💪

What a way to wrap up 2024—the last 10k of the year done and dusted, and it felt amazing! There’s just something about crossing that finish line that never gets old.

Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year: HYROX is on the calendar, a couple of 10ks to keep things interesting, and another half marathon (or two!). It’s going to be all about pushing limits, trying new challenges, and probably asking myself why did I sign up for this? at least once.

Here’s to another year of finish lines, training highs (and lows), and maybe even learning to foam roll properly. Big shout out to for essentially doing every race with me and for agreeing to Hyrox lol. Let’s make it a good one!

🌟 Life Update 🌟

The past few months have been a whirlwind, and I’m finally catching my breath (pun intended)! 🏃‍♀️💨

First up, Paris Olympics! 🇫🇷✨ Had the absolute privilege of experiencing the magic in person (as a spectator, not an athlete—but who’s counting?). The energy, the talent, and the city... unforgettable!

Back home, I joined a run club, and it's been a game-changer. It’s amazing how much faster and further you can go with a community cheering you on. 💪

Speaking of running, I tackled the Great Scottish Run! 🏴 Such an incredible event, and crossing that finish line felt like a huge win. 🏅

Now, I’m focusing on building strength because, let’s be real, running can be tough on the hips and knees. 🦵 Strength training is the new priority to keep injuries at bay and stay on the move.

Here’s to new adventures, stronger strides, and (hopefully) pain-free miles ahead! 🏋️‍♀️💥

A summer full of adventures and relaxing 😎

Finished the holidays off with a netball tournament in England. Lasted two matches before getting injured, highlighting my ageing body.

Paris was a big highlight and inspiring seeing all the Olympic athletes!

My road to recovery has been going well. Back running which is excellent as I have the great Scottish run very soon.. first half marathon so we will see how it goes!
