Kudos to all the women out there who have all the energy to train during their periods. I’d love to power through training sessions but in reality PCOS life often means you’ll find me dosed on ibroprufen, lying on the floor with the added combination of low energy and fatigue hitting me HARD 😅

Switching back from a CrossFit box to a gym has be

Switching back from a CrossFit box to a gym has been a real eye opener. At CrossFit Dawn, like most other CrossFit boxes, there was a real gender balance. At the gym I’m now at, barely any women use the weights zone. I’ve experienced a lot of the gymtimidation and “this space isn’t for women” behaviour from men…attitudes I thought we had binned years ago?? It’s also quite a culturally diverse gym, and if I’m real, I think a lot of men from other ethnicities have a long way to go before they accept women weightlifting is the norm and benefits women from a health and wellness perspective .

Do you agree?

Let us not forget the impact the success of the @letourfemmes and the @lionesses win is having on women’s sport and the game-changing moments they are.

Many of us will have grown up being covertly or overtly told that certain sports are ‘male sports’ (rugby, football, golf…) and given an oft lens of what women should or shouldn’t be doing when it came to sports.

The success of the Women’s Tour and Euros along with the mainstream coverage of women playing other male-dominant sports like cricket with growing audience numbers is significantly changing the narrative for womens sport. This is going to play such a huge role in funding and sponsorship for women’s sports, which in turn is going to positively impact and change elite women’s sport, and hopefully for the better and for future.

Aren’t we having such a special and incredible summer of sports, especially with women’s sports?

The women’s Tour, women’s Euro’s, World Athletics and the Commonwealths: 2022 is a real celebration of women’s sports and I can’t wait to see how a combination of all of this feeds into the post-events’ legacies.

Someone asked me recently whether I’m currently training for another race. Since Brighton marathon, it’s been more about working on my pacing problems and stop going all out at the start (which slowwwwly is making progress), rather than a sexy big autumn race. If you’re always relying on races as your source of motivation for running then I’d have to ask, how much do you really honestly enjoy it?

Isn’t it odd how women sweating is still perceived as a weird/ abnormal thing? So much so that some marketeer coined the line “ I don’t sweat, I sparkle” to make us appreciate our sweaty female bods.

As long as we focus on the appearance-enhancing features of sport, we’re not going to get more women and girls participating in more sport and exercise, because that sweaty, beetroot-faced face is going to be continuously seen as unfeminine.

So nope, I definitely don’t sparkle. I sweat, by the gallons and I’m all here for it 💦 💦

After a few months of ZERO strength training, I’m back at it. I’m so, so sad to say bye to CrossFit for now (I just couldn’t fit the class schedule to meet my all-over-the-place schedule and I’m someone who needs to make my money work😅).

Really looking forward to seeing how this style of training will work, while doing alllll my favourite lifts. So far, turning out need to work on some tekkers and rebuilding strength but that’s expected!

(I’ve got a coach so refrain from technique pointers, thanks lads).

Nothing like humble bragging getting in that rando

Nothing like humble bragging getting in that random once in a while 6am workout while sipping on your oat hot chocolate , grinning and people-watching the bleary eyed dragging themselves to the gym …only for you to slump into a mid morning nap a few hours later because you’re tired from waking up so early. Some say that’s karma 😉

Second lady at the duathlon today, with a new 1 mile PB on the run 🎉. I got chased on the last 50m of the run but couldn’t match her pace -huge kudos to the lady who overtook me😅.

I think the effort I’m putting into this speed work is *finally* showing up (hoping I’m not speaking too soon 🤞🏿). Let’s keep the momentum up! Loved to see a real diversity of participants on the course as well 😊

Thanks to the @alohatriltd team for putting on a great event! 🏃🏿‍♀️🚴🏾‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️
