Second female at the @runnationuk 5km on Sunday 🏆

Gave it some welly in the first mile then cruised at a slower pace for final 2 miles. Was a pretty last minute entry and with legs still tired from last week’s Hurt Locker speed sessions, happy with this.

Fingers crossed this will *finally* be a PB season for me. It’s been a good while since I’ve rung the PB bell

Bangles said it’s just another manic Monday,I say it’s just another medal Monday 💁🏽‍♀️🥇

Well done to everyone who got pbs yesterday. And if you didn’t, I know how you feel (I’ve been there a few times) . Take some time to process your feelings, think about what might have gone wrong and how you can improve next time. And move on.

What are your tips for people who might not have hit their goals?

Pacing duty done in 2hr 14:08 ✅ 🙌🏿

So @rungatwick is a brilliant race! I’ve done a 🚴 sportive near there but it’s been such a long time I was in that area I forgot how nice it is. So many green fields, woods and rapeseed fields.

Turns out pacing is so much fun… and equally hard. My respect for pacers has increased tenfold now. There’s so many times i almost found myself speeding up but had to slow down as my goal was to pace people to 2:15.

As a pacer, you’re also there to motivate the runners, ready to offer advice and help them through tough points on the route… all while also staying relatively consistent with the targeted pace!

Would I do pacing again? Definitely!

Getting ready to lace up and take on an official pacer role at @rungatwick half marathon tomorrow. It’ll be my first time being a pacer so a mixture of excited and nervous for it. Looking forward to helping people achieve their targeted race time!

Have you been a pacer before? Any final tips?

Hanging on for dear life on today’s tough speed session on the tracks. I had almost forgotten how gruesome 200m reps are 🤢🤮 . What’s your favourite track session?

Happy Easter, everybunny. I am ITCHING to do a workout after a week of rest and recovery. Every time I see someone out in workout gear, the FOMO comes on so strong. Anyone else relate?

Looking back at @brightonmarathonweekend and came across these pre and post marathon faces. I didn’t notice the crusty remains of gels all over my face until I got back to my Airbnb 😅.

All part of the marathon fun right?

Sooooo I’ve not looked at my time but based off looking at the average pace on my watch i know i was a long way off from my sub 3:30 goal 😬.

Legs fell off the wagon…again.

Obviously I need to sit down and work out where I’m going wrong in terms of translating training into racing. But on the bright side:
☀️the weather was so good
☀️ despite everything I read about Brighton being a sh*t-show, it was actually a pretty decent event (though NB there are a fair few hills in the first half). They also did have a bag drop on the day.
☀️ it was so nice having my friend come along to watch (I’ve never done that before).
☀️the crowds put on a show!
☀️ i really enjoyed this training cycle. For the first time, I really felt it was tailored to my busy schedule.
☀️loved seeing @thepilatesrunner at the end
☀️ The nachos and vegan burger at @btnbeachclub were exactly what I needed post marathon 👌🏿

For now, we move on, eat, rest and recover 🍝

Last long run complete before the big day. I had some free time on Sunday so finally got to see Miami Beach ☀️

Tapering for Brighton hasn’t been exactly how I wanted with my Miami trip thrown into the mix last minute.

I’ve found Miami is very low-carb life living so when I return home, my main priority is going to be ALL THE CARBS (I never want to see tomato on cucumber slices ever again😅). Jet lag will likely kick in so sleep is another main priority.

I’m so inspired by everyone’s running over the weekend and can’t wait for my turn! This time along a different beach 🏖
