Time to tackle the Great North Run
Any body can run. Fuck you for judging mine.
I am more than my body
Runsploring: bringing joy back to running
Running: where did the fun go?

I did it. I enjoyed it. I now know how much training I need to put in for the #GreatNorthRun. And I got a new T-shirt and medal 🙌 . Amazing atmosphere as always at the #leeds10k! Everyone is always so supportive all along the route and it’s fantastic to see such a wide range of ages, shapes and sizes taking part. I spent a lot of the race next to the gorgeous @leedsgirlscan underwear runners who were not only inspiring but so supportive of everyone around them. Plus they all smashed it together 💪 . . Congrats to everyone who ran today 🎉🥳 . . #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #anybodycanrun #ukrunchat #slowrunner #runblogger #runningblogger #runningblog #c25k #C210k #irunthisbody #thisgirlcanrun #runallthemiles #badassladygang #ihavearunnersbody #girlgains #runnerscommunity #instarunners #instarun #halfmarathontraining #runstagram #parkrunuk #thisgirlcan #runners #womensrunningcommunity #runchat

Even Patch seems uncertain about the idea of the #Leeds10k tomorrow 🙈 This will be the most under prepared I’ve ever been for a race but it’s my home race, it’s one I enjoy and I’m hoping it will give me the kick up the butt I need to take my #GreatNorthRun seriously. I’m going to take it slow for the first 5k (says the girl who is always slow 🤣) and then if I’ve got any thing more to give I will kick it up a gear. If not I’ll take it all in and enjoy it while listening to an episode of @myfavoritemurder. Best of luck to every racing tomorrow 🎉💪 . . . #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #anybodycanrun #ukrunchat #slowrunner #runblogger #runningblogger #runningblog #c25k #C210k #irunthisbody #thisgirlcanrun #runallthemiles #badassladygang #ihavearunnersbody #girlgains #runnerscommunity #instarunners #instarun #halfmarathontraining #runstagram #parkrunuk #thisgirlcan #runners #womensrunningcommunity #runchat

Guess who didn’t get up at 5.30am to run. Guess who’s motivation is as low as this battery level. Guess who’s fitness is probs about the same. Guess who’s got a race in 3 weeks. 😱 Tonight needs to be the night that I get back on it! If someone has spare motivation please send it my way, I’d be forever grateful! It’s going to be a tough 3 weeks to get at least some of my fitness back in time for race day but I need to at least try. . . . . #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #anybodycanrun #ukrunchat #slowrunner #runblogger #runningblogger #runningblog #c25k #C210k #irunthisbody #thisgirlcanrun #runallthemiles #badassladygang #ihavearunnersbody #girlgains #runnerscommunity #instarunners #instarun #halfmarathontraining #runstagram #parkrunuk #thisgirlcan #runners #womensrunningcommunity #runchat #intuitiveeating #bodypositivity #hde

Seriously, we’re in 2019 and people still believe that unless you’re anything less than a size 10 you 1) aren’t fit and 2) desperately want to be a size 10. . . One of THE greatest things about running races or parkrun or a running club is that it truly shows you that ANY BODY of any size can run. All shapes and sizes. Size does not directly correlate to fitness. Size 10 people can be unfit and size 16+ can be fit. ANY BODY deserves to have clothes to wear when running that are not only supportive and functional but look good. ANY BODY deserves to be represented in stores and in press and in marketing. . . Diet Culture was well and truly alive in that telegraph article regarding the plus size mannequin in a Nike store. . . Fat phobia was well and truly alive in the comments section. “Maybe she’s just taking her first steps.” “maybe she’s just started to run to get fitter.” Although it may have been intended it’s not right. Maybe she’s running marathons. Maybe she’s been running for years. Maybe she’s runs quicker than you. Maybe she’s not wanting to shrink her body to fit your outdated view of what beauty and fitness looks like. . . So fuck you for judging my body. My body can run. ANY BODY can run. You don’t know what my body is capable of. You don’t know what I’m capable of. . . More details in the blog post in my bio 😊 . . . #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #anybodycanrun #ukrunchat #slowrunner #runblogger #runningblogger #runningblog #c25k #C210k #irunthisbody #thisgirlcanrun #runallthemiles #badassladygang #ihavearunnersbody #girlgains #runnerscommunity #instarunners #instarun #halfmarathontraining #runstagram #parkrunuk #thisgirlcan #runners #womensrunningcommunity #runchat #intuitiveeating #bodypositivity #hde

This little 🐶 managed to run 5 miles in the heat this morning. Considering he normally gets bored after 3 and spends any time after that trying to trip me up I am well chuffed with him. He may have enjoyed it but I didn’t start enjoying my run until 45 minutes in. Pace was slower today to ensure Patch could make the distance (he’s a #slowrunner like me) but my breathing and legs felt good 🙌 A positive start to #GreatNorthRun training. . . . #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #anybodycanrun #ukrunchat #slowrunner #runblogger #runningblogger #runningblog #c25k #C210k #irunthisbody #thisgirlcanrun #runallthemiles #badassladygang #ihavearunnersbody #girlgains #runnerscommunity #instarunners #instarun #halfmarathontraining #runstagram #parkrunuk #thisgirlcan #runners #womensrunningcommunity #runchat #intuitiveeating #bodypositivity #hde

HAPPY GLOBAL RUNNING DAY 🙌 . . . A great day to start my next training block 💪 . . A great day to reminisce of some of my fav global runs. This one on #Singapore was unreal thanks to an early morning get up. We caught the sunrise over the marina and has the whole place to ourselves. My first ever run in #CentralPark was unforgettable as I enjoyed running among the local so much it made my desire to pack my bags and move there even stronger. A run in #Paris with my husband was one of the most beautiful thanks to a fantastic route. It was also the first time we were both training at the same time so the healthy competition was fun 💪. Lastly a run in #Torrevieja which was not scenic or pleasant but it was the first time I ran double figures. I ran 10 miles and upon being picked back up my by husband I burst into tears as was so proud of myself. . . Where have been one of your fav runs? Global or UK. . . #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #anybodycanrun #ukrunchat #slowrunner #runblogger #runningblogger #runningblog #c25k #C210k #irunthisbody #thisgirlcanrun #runallthemiles #badassladygang #ihavearunnersbody #girlgains #runnerscommunity #instarunners #instarun #halfmarathontraining #runstagram #thisgirlcan #womensrunningcommunity #runchat #globalrunningday

First day using my brain in 4 weeks and it’s tiring. Wishing I was still here and not the office 😭#hinchleyshoneymonth

Back to the UK. And back to reality. And back to training. The #GreatNorthRun is in 14 weeks and I need to get my act together. This year I’m running it with my bestie who runs a little quicker than I do so I’m gonna have to run quicker. And to run quicker in races you need to run quicker in training. So I’m working on a training plan to increase my speed while incorporating cross training to increase my overall fitness. #GreatNorthRun I’m coming for you 💪 Who else is running it this year? . . . . . #womensrunning #womensrunninguk #anybodycanrun #ukrunchat #slowrunner #runblogger #runningblogger #runningblog #c25k #C210k #irunthisbody #thisgirlcanrun #runallthemiles #badassladygang #ihavearunnersbody #girlgains #runnerscommunity #instarunners #instarun #halfmarathontraining #runstagram #parkrunuk #thisgirlcan #runners #womensrunningcommunity #runchat #intuitiveeating #bodypositivity #hde
