Switch it up… 🚴🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ With an endurance turbo ride on the plan today but an ongoing issue with getting wifi out to our garage, I got myself psyched up to tether to my phone and perhaps have a slightly temperamental Zwift ride. I wasn’t, however, expecting the full-on data fai…

Ad. A different kind of Friday night! 🥊😅 Grateful to have had the opportunity to head down to @bermondseyboxing this evening for a taste of the sweat required to slog it out in gloves. The club has only been open a few weeks, but the pros know their stuff and @zv4___ definit…

Howwwwww?! 😩🤦🏻‍♀️ Today’s progression run finished with 10 mins at threshold, which is roughly the pace I ran my half marathon PB at back in April and today I could barely hold it for 1.5km. Sure, a lot has happened since then. I’ve had life changes, a much longer endurance focu…

Long run done! 🏃🏻‍♀️😅 With a long run to do and no paces to chase I decided to explore more of the new local area. I’d seen this big open green space when I’ve been on the train or driven past and wanted to see it on two feet so today was the perfect opportunity. Running under t…

Back moving my body after what seems like an age… 👀🤦🏻‍♀️ I haven’t really felt like myself for a little while now and training hasn’t been a priority either. I’m not 100% sure what’s going on, but I could put a bet on it being post-everything blues. This summer was the culminati…

Rare sighting of me on my bike… 👀😆 After what feels like forever, it was really nice to head out on two wheels. @cloestone_tri had a route planned taking on just over 70km and I ambitiously agreed, despite not pedalling since the first week of September! I’m not sure my legs…

Lovely sunset run with company this afternoon. 🏃🏻‍♀️☺️ I feel very lucky that Ian and I moved house and ended up being just around the corner from friends made through instagram. We’ve gone on dog walks together, had chatty dinners and even carved pumpkins. Today we stepped the …

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster this week. 👀🙄 I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve felt a bit lost since Ironman. Training was hit and miss for a little while and then at the end of September I decided to take a proper break. The longest I’ve gone without training in…

Back to 6am club! ⏰💪🏼 Trying to do what I can with what I’ve got… whether that means fitting in CrossFit classes around work, December events and time with family, or if it’s adapting the workouts themselves so I don’t cause unnecessary delay to my healing process. This morn…

Fighting the good fight! 👊🏼😅 Back to @crossfit_thurrock this evening for a go at the CrossFit workout “fight gone bad”. I figured this would be one I could fumble my way though despite my sore toe, so it made sense to make the time. A quick change after work and off I went i…

Catching up… 😅 I couldn’t make many CrossFit classes this week so made note of one of the sessions to do at home today in our garage gym. Building up to a 3RM snatch in seven sets and then 1 min max reps at 80% of the number reached. Considering I haven’t done these for a lo…

Back to parkrun! 🥳🙌🏼 Three and a half weeks ago I decided to get myself into a routine of exercise, starting up CrossFit again and balancing with a bit of swim/bike/run to keep myself able to scrape through a triathlon. Then, just doing normal day to day stuff, I ended up wi…

Christmas Day run with company! 🥰🙌🏼 Running on Christmas morning has been tradition for me for a while now and even better doing it with @ianrunsldn @clairelizabeth__ and one half of @rafa.indy.explore alongside. We went to the local riverside park and did a run/walk interva…

Back to training and a nice little confidence boost. 😅🙌🏼 We built up to a max deadlift for the day, before taking on an 8min workout of 2 wall walks and 2 deadlifts for as many rounds as possible. I didn’t have any idea how heavy I would be able to go with the deadlifts, hav…

After putting it off, I got out for a run! 😅🏃🏻‍♀️ Unfortunately, since moving house and to a new area, I haven’t felt fully safe running on my own in the dark. Maybe it’s because I haven’t run much in the light either. Or because I missed the gradual adjustment from light to dar…

Not the start to the New Year I had planned! 🫠🤦🏻‍♀️ After returning to running after injury I then ended up sick and unable to train again just a couple of days before the New Year. Fun times, ha. As with many people, I decided to join the #gymshark66 challenge… 66 days to make …

Two days in a row of moving my body! 🥳🙏🏼 Coming out of what has felt like a miserable virus just after Christmas I’ve finally felt ready to get some exercise in. I started small with some squats and press ups yesterday - I didn’t feel any worse for it, plus my RHR and HRV co…

Managed to drag this struggling old body 5.5km! 🏃🏻‍♀️😅 It’s mad that Strava has reminded me this time last year I ran 16km at a quicker pace than tonight’s one third of the distance… but we are where we are and I have no regrets taking the time out from training that I have. I c…

Two weeks later and I can finally access my account again! 🥳 What have I missed?! 👀

I am beginning to wonder if Cllr Lorna Dupré 🇯🇪 🔶 could yet pull off the biggest political surprise by becoming Mayor Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority And for many reasons. 1) Labour is struggling 2) Tories remain toxic and have a candidate with an ego the size of Everest 3) Peterborough voters with no local
