Last week`s training went well. Lessons learned from the weekend where I had my first `long run` and then Sunday was household chores (only some of which got done) and kitchen shopping. I will need to have a better strategy going forward how to recover from long runs and still function on Sunday. Maybe an afternoon nap? If you have any ideas, please let me know!

Sunday long runs are now on Saturdays.for me until my ultra in July. Yesterday, I met some friends in Cambridge for 15-20km along the river. It was perfect running weather and we took it easy. My plan was 15km so I was happy to stop at 17km and walk the rest of the way to Chelsea Buns (highly recommend!).
Because I wasn`t home, there wasn`t any post-run stretch routine and I am paying for it today. Lesson learned! To make this training plan sustainable for me and my husband, I need to ensure that on Sundays I am able to contribute to the household and spend time with my family.
It`s a marathon , not a sprint.

Today was my last Wednesday morning class at @nrggym_hatfield and my members surprised me with a thank you card. This group is great and always come to class smiling (even though it is 6:15am). I am going to miss them! 😢. I so appreciate their thoughtfulness.
This is for the greater good as I shift my training focus to strength training on Wednesdays. My other cycling classes are training my cardiovascular abilities. Now I just need my body to be strong. 💪
What kind of cross training do you do? ❓
PS. This song is in one of my spin class playlists- enjoy!

Find A Run Club 💛🏃♀️
A little side hustle I’ve been quietly working on… now feels like the right time to share ✨
The idea actually came to me 2 years ago, but earlier this year I finally brought it to life.
@findarunclub was created to make running feel more welcoming and less overwhelming — especially with the boom in run clubs across London. So many options, but not always easy to know where you’ll fit in.
This is a space to help you find your people — whatever your pace, experience, or reason for running 🫶
We’ve already got 16 run clubs listed (and growing daily 🙌). The website is still a work in progress (side hustle life 😅), but it’s live and doing what it’s meant to do — bringing runners together.
I’ll be heading along to some of the clubs over the next few weeks and can’t wait to meet more of you 💛
If you run a club, know a great one, or just love the idea — share it, send it, support it ✨
Thanks to @thinkmarshstudio for the logo design and helping with the website.

Busy Easter weekend here. So busy, I forgot to post about #parkrun yesterday! 🌳
Fantastic turnout of @ohladiesrc at Stanborough parkrun. I had a half marathon in my plan so started the day off with a 5km walk, followed by parkrun run and then more running. Towards the end I sit in my grocery shop with a walk home. Followed by 3km around my neighborhood. With the walking, it took much longer than if I had committed to running the entire thing. Lesson learned for next time!
Today is a rest day, thank goodness!
Let me know if you are familiar with this song. At run club on Friday morning, none of the ladies seemed to know it. Maybe it is an American thing (complete with a conga dance) 🐰👯

#MedalMonday from a whirlwind weekend at the Mezza Maratona d’Italia 🇮🇹
Left the UK Friday after work, landed in Italy, and by Sunday night I was back home with another half marathon in the legs. I am so rock-n-roll.
Traveled with two amazing friends from my run club @ohladiesrc and we were able to have everything work out, from bib pickup on Saturday, then straight to the Ferrari Museum before lunch and an afternoon nap.
Race day started early on Sunday (complete with the clocks changing). The first bit of the race was on the Ferrari test track (!!) and wound through their campus — it was unreal. I’ll admit… I stopped more than a few times for photos 📸 🏎️
The course itself was super chill — mostly main roads, not many crowds, and the towns were eerily quiet (still not sure if that was the race or just a sleepy Sunday morning way of life).
I felt strong hitting 18km when I spotted the 2:30 pacers — kicked it up a notch and brought it home in 2:26 💪 Only 30 seconds slower than the Cambridge Half earlier this month!
That final kilometer through the streets of Modena though… brick and stone underfoot had my body FEELING it.
Overall, I am really happy with my result and have ticked another country off of my goal to run in every country. Feeling consistent, strong, and like that this is my base level now.
Next up… Race to the Stones training begins 🏃♀️⛰️

If you want to actually succeed on a medicated weight loss journey, it’s not just about the medication — it’s about how you support your body alongside it 💚
Since starting last April, I’m 10+ kg and 57 cm down, and these are the things I’ve focused on consistently (aside from fermented food. My palette prefers sweet):
🫘 Protein – to protect muscle and stay strong
🌾 Fibre – for gut health, fullness & digestion
🦠 Ferments – to support your microbiome
🫒 Healthy fats – for satisfaction & nutrient absorption
💧 Water – makes a bigger difference than you think
🏋️ Lifting weights – to lose fat, not muscle
It doesn’t have to be perfect — just consistent. I started off slowly with one more glass of water, one more 20 min weights session and added on from there
If you’re curious about medicated weight loss with Juniper and want to start with support (and a discount), DM me and I’ll send you my discount code. I am always happy to share what’s worked for me and answer any questions you may have.
