Week 2 of @brightonmarathonweekend and today was 13km with marathon race pace intervals. Tough work but equally rewarding as the MP sessions weren’t as bad as I thought they would be!

I feel much more stronger in this training block and the first two weeks have been such a confidence booster!

How is your training going?

Week one of @brightonmarathonweekend training has officially kicked off!

Working with a new coach and looking forward to seeing how a different approach and coaching style works for me.

Started the week with an easy run 🤘🏿

Fun weekend of running routes around Epping Forest

Fun weekend of running routes around Epping Forest and finally achieving a green circle on @trainingpeaks for the first time in a long, long time.

Don’t want to jinx anything,I think I’m slowly but surely getting out of this motivation rut 🤞🤞

Decided to use my year goal on @strava as motivation for these final few weeks of December.

10k with a slower 5k than anticipated today with a 24:18 time at @parkrunuk. That’s what you get for doing a speed work session the day before 😬. Tired legs. Oopsy.

Hands up if you’re struggling at the moment 🙋

Hands up if you’re struggling at the moment 🙋🏾‍♀️!

I’ve been recently finding it VERY hard to follow my training plan so decided to go off plan for a wee bit and run according to when I want. Rather than running roughly 40 miles a week, it’s probably about 20-25miles now (I’m rubbish at syncing with TRaining Peaks and strava. 🙈). We’re still in very early stages of training for my next marathon so not too worried about that.

At the end of the day, I don’t want training and movement to feel like a chore. And that’s why I include CrossFit and swim/bike in my training. The variety keeps it exciting and if one area drops or feels tough, I can dial the training down by focussing on the other areas.

The @brooksrunninguk Run Happy team had our Christmas meet up, which was so much fun! |ad|

Wearing the new Run Merry collection, we did a fun 5k run round Central London with a boom box blasting Christmassy songs, and bringing some festive cheer, à la Midnight Runners mode.

The evening didn’t end there for some of us as we headed to a karaoke box - turns out @the_marathon_dan has some epic karaoke skills and @runrutrun - we’ll get you singing one day, don’t you worry 😜.

Saturday morning headed over to Mile End Park run for a bumpy 2x lap course, a course that makes you work for it! Great to see you @trina_runs !

So tell me, what’s your go to Christmas karaoke song?

Two consecutive weekends of no long runs 👎. (

Two consecutive weekends of no long runs 👎.

(Ad) Previously, I’d have got really stressed out for missing out on them but after switching my own coaching style to compassionate coaching, I’m trying to apply this to myself and be less hard on myself.

When my clients tell me they’ve missed a workout, do I berate them? No. Life happens. A few of my sessions this week have been cut short because of work. Today I missed my long run because, quite honestly, I overslept.

In the grand scheme of things, a few sessions missed aren’t going to affect the majority of you in your progression to your goals.

If you’re noticing a pattern with reasons why you’re missing workouts, think about what you can do to reduce those chances. For me, clearly I need to stick to my bedtime schedule on weekends!

How do you feel when you miss a training session or workout? Regret? Guilt? Shame? Or anything else?

First time wearing a vest and shorts at a freezing cold winter race…who even am I? (Don’t worry, I wore gloves😉). (Ad)

Thanks to @itsanniebean and the @oofosuk team (ad) for inviting to the 10km Hampton Court @runthroughuk race. Loved the course with its combination of trails and roads as well as running along the river. Some lovely views on this course. A special location for me as it’s where I ran one of my first half marathons and Hampton Court’s also one of my favourite attractions in London.

The post hot chocolate with @thisbunnyruns @katietriestorun @janeystrides @triathlonlizzie was a real treat ☕️ 🤌🏾🤌🏾

How did you all get on today? I hear you if it was a struggle.
