Opinions 🤔 A biggie is that people worry about being judged. They worry what others will think and what others will say about them. Here’s the thing ~ opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one 😂😉 AND, guess what? That’s ok! Yeah we don’t wanna feel like we are being watched and judged, we sometimes …
Motivation! Yup, I’ll need to get motivated, I’ll do that once I’ve got the motivation, I won’t be able to do that because I am rubbish at motivating myself ~ blah blah blah blah blah. HOLD ON A SECOND. Stop waiting for motivation. Motivation is fickle AF! So, there are times when you simply need …

Last week was a down week. A lighter recovery week with no intensity. A recovery after Northallerton 10k This block is going to be a wee bit of a hybrid block. The next marathon is 17 weeks so my intention is to work through a 10k-1/2 marathon phase and then crack on to the marathon …

When I wasn’t crawling or walking like my sister, doctors first called me a ‘lazy baby’ but my parents knew something was going on and at eighteen months old …
The beautiful market town of Northallerton, situated in North Yorkshire, a little south of Darlington hosts an annual 10km run in association with a local charity, Pendragon Community Trust. OK, so I always thought that Northallerton was flat! I did Northallerton 10k back in the late 90s/early 00’s and I don’t remember it being anything …
Fancy doing your first Parkrun? You might have heard people chatting about Parkrun and it spiked your curiousity but you’re a little bit unsure what it involves, whether it’s right for you and whether or not you’ll end up out of your depth. This is my little introduction to all the things you need to …
There’s nowt doing in January we thought! Let’s dive into the Squid Games for Runners challenge. We signed up, I had to then urgently watch Squid Games. I’m a bit of a bugger at resisting watching stuff that’s super popular so I hadn’t seen it before I hit enter BUT I did get the premise …
