BRIGHTON MARATHON 2026 (aka my first ever marathon🌟🌟🌟) @brightonmarathonweekend
💛🧡🩷
chip time : 4:10:14
strava time : 4:09:17
(couldn’t be happier)
🌟🌟🌟
I think even if I’d had the smoothest training block I’d be SO happy with how yesterday went!! BUT considering I absolutely didn’t, I’m EVEN PROUDER of myself 🫶

With a total of 160km’s missed this training block out of 488km due to shin and knee injuries, it definitelyyy has not been easy! A week ago I wasn’t even sure I’d be running the marathon but we pushed through and I’m SO happy I did 🤍

I absolutely could not have done it without all the advice and treatment from my incredible physio @ericajgs ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 My mum absolutely does work MIRACLES + has the patience of a saint listening to me complain + worrying about every injury, every single day. Thank you SO much, I couldn’t have done it without you!!!

I also couldn’t be prouder of my brother + dad who I ran yesterday with! Orin came finished his FIRST marathon with a time of 3:26 and Dad on his third with 4:50!!! 🩷

Thank you for ALL the support to everyone who came down or tracked me remotely, it means EVERYTHING 💗

Now I guess it’s time to recover for a hot sec, then let’s work on this strength + speed to prevent any more injuries 🙈 (if anything just for my mums sake so I stop complaining)

🩷💛🧡

🌟 SUBS FOR THE CLUBS — EP.1 🌟

Sometimes I LOVE a night out 🕺 but I think there is SO much more to student life than just this — so welcome to my new series where I’ll be trying out student activities that cost the same (or less 👀) than your average night out!

FIRST UP… it HAD to be a run club 🏃‍♀️🤍

I joined the first meet of @sherunsleeds and here’s the verdict:

💸 Cost: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (could be free 🙈)
🫶 Social: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🙌 Accessibility: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
✨ Vibe: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🔁 Would I go again? YES.

I will DEFINITELY be back!!! 🫶

Let me know what I should try for episode 2 👀🫵

Love, Lara

I’ll be back at uni in TWO days now, what the hell?! Defo NOT ready 👀

Sooo, I thought I’d share the TWO things is WISH I had done first year at uni!!! 🙈 and that I’ll be doing this year 👉👉👉

1. get INTO a sports society (not weirdly into it, some of them go too far🙈) >>> BUTTT there are so many fun girly friendships to be had in a sports society + it is defo something I think I would’ve loved! 🫶

2. KINDAAA following on - BUT - branch out and don’t get yourself settled in a routine too early! Yes, it is SO nice to have routine and chill out 🙂‍↕️ but I missed out on lots of opportunities cos I was very secure in my ways from the start 🩷

As always this is just based on my experience + hopefully it is somewhat helpful!! 🙈 Follow along as this semester I’m going to be sharing all the things you can do in your city that AREN’T just the club🕺

Love, Lara
