What. A. Race. Still on a high after Sunday and the pictures definitely tell the story… from very much in control to a complete mess within a few miles… and I can’t wait to do it all over again #londonmarathon #roadrunning #marathonrunning #runnersofinstagram (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTd2cKLzu-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today kicked my arse… 7 mile session in the morning followed by a 6 mile easy/social run this afternoon… hot hot. Great day with @_projectrun, @kezwalker_ & @lifeof_bryan getting me ready for the 100k next year… & London… yeah that’s not far away #ultrarunning #training #londonmarathon #running #teesdaleway #pennineway (at Holwick Scar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgFSdVLLVBM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Teesdale Trail miles were the order of the day today after a bad week & missing a lot of the plan… this run brought so many positives along the 10 miles & helped clarify my plans for 2023. I don’t think I’ve ever felt so comfortable running on trails in terms of fitness #trailrunning #londonmarathontraining #ultratraining #teesdale (at Brignall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfhIjIRNV6h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunderland Half Marathon. 1:32. Hotter and hillier than I was expecting but a solid run out to put a marker down for the start of London Marathon training • • #sunderlandhalfmarathon #running #marathontraining @londonmarathon @northeastprojectrun (at Sunderland Tyne & Wear) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdVgolMN7VA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chester 50. Nidderdale Way Ultra. One Foot In The Gargrave. The Yorkshireman Marathon. Need to get back to some of these races, far too long off the trails & without an ultra #ultrarunning #trailrunning #strava #nidderdaleway #pennineway #chesterultra https://www.instagram.com/p/CZUv9okr5Rt/?utm_medium=tumblr

Bee Run 2021. Only 11 miles this year but more rain, mud & wind than ever before. Great day out with 3 pub stops over the shortened route #trailrunning #pubrun #strava (at Broken Scar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYE1JxjooLh/?utm_medium=tumblr

If being ill for 2 weeks was a bad build up for Leeds, being ill for a month was horrendous prep for Middlesbrough! 2021 target races done… on to big targets for 2022 #roadrunning #sub130half #sub4010k #londonmarathon @northeastprojectrun @evenwood_road_runners (at Middlesbrough) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWB7OE5oTFP/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Good. The Bad. The Ugly. 41:42. 10k PB at Leeds Abbey Dash yesterday ending with vomiting all over the finish line. Being ill for 2 weeks wasn’t the best build up #leedsabbeydash #roadrunning (at Leeds) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVc2PahIhx5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today I got my arse kicked. Cronkley Fell Race. A race that has you wade through the River Tees to an island at the half way point. Loved it. #trailrunning #fellrunning #training #strava @northeastprojectrun @teamvaga (at Cronkley Scar) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT-XNFDoirX/?utm_medium=tumblr

GNR40. 1:36:11. PB. Thank you so much for all the sponsorship for The Rainbow Trust. I had a good first 10miles & a bad last 5k, plenty to work on but a PB so a good day all round. #greatnorthrun #gnr40 #strava #roadrunning @northeastprojectrun @evenwood_road_runners (at Newcastle upon Tyne) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxS9zJoI5Y/?utm_medium=tumblr

GNR week is here! Last hard effort at parkrun on Saturday was a good confidence boost. If anyone can spare a few quid for a great children’s charity, I’d really appreciate it!! https://bit.ly/3zMieL7 @northeastprojectrun #parkrun #training #strava #roadrunning (at Seaton Carew Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CThJOTIIcjT/?utm_medium=tumblr
