Let’s go for a run 🏃‍♀️
Next race: Edinburgh Half Marathon, May 2027 📆
I’m just a girl trying to make herself run, read and rest 💖

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

What’s that? A @parkrunuk PB AND the chance to meet up with the amazing @markbeatsyesterday and @jen2thefinish? (And OBVIOUSLY @sallygetsstrong, I feel like this goes without saying now tbh)

Such a wholesome morning, I had the best time with you all 💖

Roll on the next one!! Where shall we go next? 🤔

Last night’s run!

Chasing the sunset… this was week 1 run 1 of my 5k improvement plan with @runna - I’m finally going to get back to that sub 30 finish 💪

The plan is 8 weeks long - so my parkrun on 5th December will be when we see if it’s worked or not 🙈

It’s a weird feeling when you know you’ve hit that time before but you can’t right now… back in 2021 I was training with a run club and I know I was somewhere within the 25 min range for a 5k during our speed sessions (pre using Strava sadly!)… that feels SO far off now 😅

But I want to work on it and who knows! Maybe I’ll get back to that some day. Just got to chip away at it, a little at a time ☺️ taken in Gloucester, Gloucestershire by @hobsruns

Belated little post from last night’s run club!

A fun, sociable run as always and we stopped for pizza afterwards this time too 😍 so worth it!!

Tried a new beer tonight but I fear I may go back to my current favourite, Budding, next week 🍻

Got back in JUST before it got dark, the nights are really drawing in now! Where did those summer evenings go 🥲 by @hobsruns

✨TRAINING THIS WEEK✨

I feel like the last 2 weeks have been rest weeks, but I’m ready to ramp it up 🙌

This week is a reset week - starting my new @runna plan and locking in with weights again (and stretching 👀)

It’s weird how just having a little cold can knock you so off pace! I was SO tired last week, even though my actual cold symptoms were only bad for a couple of days. Thank goodness for ginger tea with honey 🙌

Anyway, I’m hoping to get some more stretching done this week (the baseline is one session lol) - let’s see how it all goes! by @hobsruns

The most wholesome Sunday 🥹💖

I had the best morning hiking in the Forest of Dean with @letsgoadventureclubuk!

Followed by a roast with my gal @sallygetsstrong 🙌

✨SEVERN BRIDGE PARKRUN✨

parkrun #13 complete ✅

Absolutely NO ONE needs me to tell them that Severn Bridge parkrun is a good one, it has enough buzz already 😂

But what a morning for it! Those views were stunning 😍 I will say though, I think it would be scary to do if there was any sort of cross breeze 😅

Will definitely be returning to this one, I wish it was a bit closer!

Where shall I parkrun next? 👀 taken in Severn Bridge Parkrun by @hobsruns

✨IT’S WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY✨

And honestly… I think we all need to give ourselves a gold star sometimes so I’ve written a few things down that I think I need to give myself some credit for.

In the world of social media it’s so easy to compare ourselves to others - yes we all know that social media is a highlights reel, but sometimes we all need to give ourselves some credits for our little wins during the day.

Are you giving yourself a gold star today? Which one would you choose? Or let me know if you’d choose something different! ✨

I haven’t run since Monday evening and my brain HURTS 🫠

So to try and make myself feel better I’m looking back at my Cheltenham 10k photos which I’ve just realised I haven’t actually posted yet!

I had such a great time, you can see from the grin on my face that I was vibing all the way through that run 😂💖

Might do a little stretch (@sallygetsstrong yes I’m doing it 👀) before quiz night tonight and hopefully a pre work run tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

The best laid plans, eh? 😅 taken in Cheltenham Racecourse by @hobsruns

✨TRAINING THIS WEEK✨

…and yes, I really am my own worst enemy BECAUSE WHY WON’T I STRETCH? 😭 (I’ll tell you why… because it takes up valuable running time 👀)

Please can you guys nag me to do my stretches this week? 🥹🙏🏼 by @hobsruns

It’s Monday again, and you know what that means??

It’s time for @stroudbrewery Run Club 🥳

It really is one of the highlights of my week ☺️ a nice easy run along the canal, finishing with a (free!) half pint and a chat 💖 by @hobsruns

🎉HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY @parkrunuk🎉

And just like that, parkrun #12 is in the bag!

A bit of an early start this morning as we headed over to Worcester Pitchcroft - 1 of 2 parkruns in Worcester (and one I meant to try back in July, I just couldn’t get my arse out of bed in time 🙄)

After a bit of a slog at the start (@itsjustmeandboo and I did not especially enjoy the wet grass or the gravel path 😂), this turned out to be a nice flat course, with a lovely section along the River Severn. The volunteers were also LOVELY - very encouraging!!

Also featuring a side quest to go and find a Diet Coke afterwards… some very cool street art round there!

I’d definitely give this parkrun another go - I think if we were a bit further forward at the start we wouldn’t have had to spend so much time on the grass 😅 Worcester is lovely for a wander as well so I’m sure we’ll be back at some point to try the other Worcester parkrun!

✨SEPTEMBER RUNS WRAPPED✨

At 117.16km, I think this month has been the most I’ve ever run in a month… and I feel fantastic for it 🤩

I’ve been joking about not wanting to take rest days - obviously I do know how important they are, and I do get at least 1 a week - but I’ve genuinely been feeling so good in myself and about running that I haven’t wanted to stop.

I think part of it is that this month I’ve really started to see the evidence of the work I’ve put in so far this year. My times are creeping downwards. My fitness score is increasing. My resting heart rate is dropping. My mood (and internal monologue) is calming.

In short… I’ve fully fallen back in love with running. I’m scared for what the darker months will bring with being able to get outdoors to exercise, but I’m hoping I can continue to build on the good habits I’ve started… Watch this space for what’s to come 👀 by @hobsruns
