You know I love to write but I also love to teach. I adore my Friday mornings as a volunteer Coach @261clublancaster which is part of @261fearlessclubuk which is part of the global @261fearless network. Social running clubs for women where we focus on fun, pressure-free and healthy running. Lots of games, drills and strength work alongside chatty running. Just perfect! I look forward to Friday mornings when we have our meetrun so much. I’ll tell you more about 261 Club U.K. another time but just wanted to give a shout out to the members in Lancaster who are always so interested and willing to learn. A wonderful community. Love ‘em! #empoweringwomen #261fearless #261fearlessclubuk #runwith261

Super honoured to be a guest on the @womensrunninguk podcast. Chatting to Esther Newman about pretty much everything to do with hormones and periods, or lack of periods, or irregular periods or anything else you can think of 😂 Really enjoyed it and hope you do too.

Photos of photos because we didn’t get digital images when we were married 21 YEARS (!!!) ago today. Happy Anniversary to the man who makes it all possible 🥂 ❤️❤️🤵‍♂️👰‍♀️

Tackling a less tasteful topic😂 but explaining the science behind it. Understanding helps you figure out how to help yourself and find what works for you. Here are the main take-homes from my full post about spitting and running and why you can end up with a mouth of sticky saliva that can also feel dry. To spit or not to spit? - that is the question!

What’s your Sunday night routine? I like to have everything set for the week ahead and then chill out in front of the TV for an hour. BUT tonight I managed to motivate myself to get out and run. It’s been such a busy weekend with one thing and another I haven’t managed to run. I didn’t want to end the weekend without one so just got it done. Guess what, there’s still time for a bit of TV too 👍 #runwell #sorted #activewomen #activehealth #runningmotivation

It’s been great to moan and share about stitches this week! Here are my top tips for preventing stitches from the accompanying blog and video. My main take homes are to keep going because they do get less frequent and to find out what works for you. Please don’t let them put you off running! #runwell
