POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This year the body ran 10km and the heart had to carry the rest.
It was a struggle from the start, but let’s be honest, 6 steroid treatments, 3 rounds of antibiotics and barely any training... it had to end like this.

I made a deal with myself: run 10km, then just get to the finish line, whatever it takes.
Heart rate spiked to 192 bpm and wouldn’t settle much lower even after dropping the pace drastically. That’s what steroids do to you 🤯

At 10km I asked myself if we could try for 15. Then every kilometre became a mental negotiation with myself ‚Give me one more, baby girl’. Yeah, I talk like this with myself when I really struggle 🙈

I ran till 25km continuously, then the start-stop game started to manage my heart.
After 30km, four quick medic stops as the left knee wouldn’t bend anymore. I don’t think it’s a major injury, more likely lack of long runs to build joint resilience.

Crossed the finish line in 4h16 and fainted right after. But hey, at least I got my medal 😉

Irresponsible? Maybe. Worth it? 100%. Would I do it again? We all know the answer 🤭 I needed that ‘H’!
And yeah, it wasn’t my best performance but expected worse 🤷‍♀️ And I stuck to the plan. Sometimes finishing has to be enough.

Thank you for all the support - running community is my fave community!❤️

What started as one marathon in Athens somehow turned into an 8-year commitment.

I didn’t plan to collect the whole series. I didn’t even know there was a series when I got the first medal.

But here we are: 6 medals down, number 7 coming this November, and somewhere along the way it stopped being just a race and became a tradition.

Athens, I’m coming back for the O.

One more after that. Assuming life doesn’t interfere first.

Almost 10 years in the UK, and there are still little pieces of Poland all around my home.

Some are beautiful, some are sentimental, and some simply make everyday life feel a little more like home.

Which little things from home could you never give up?

My longest ride ever and honestly, I loved every minute of it.

Sport has been a huge part of my life for at least the last ten years. Hearing loss, steroid treatment and now anaemia have made it difficult to train the way I used to, and mentally, that’s been hard. It’s frustrating to struggle with 5 km when you’ve previously run 175 km in one go.

But today made me happy - and a little more optimistic about what’s ahead.

Long run tomorrow as part of my Athens Marathon training, so I guess it’s time to put my feet up.

Is it worth spending a Saturday in Notting Hill looking for quality pre-loved clothes? I’d say yes.

I think I’ve reached the point where I check the fabric label before the price. I’d rather buy fewer things, choose better materials and wear them for years.

And honestly, once you’ve tried on a really soft cashmere jumper, it’s hard to put it back.

Here’s what I found. Would you pay these prices?

The spirit never died. I just needed a little boost 🫜

After missing over two weeks of training because of hearing problems and antibiotics, I was honestly expecting a disaster today. And that’s without even mentioning the anaemia I’ve been dealing with lately.

But the spirit never died. I love running too much to give it up.

So I thought: no PB mission, no pressure — just run, enjoy it, and take in one of the most iconic routes in London.

I tested beetroot shots the week before, hoping for a little extra help getting me to the finish line. Of course, it’s not magic juice and it won’t suddenly make you faster. But honestly, I felt like it helped me hold a high effort for a little longer.

Fantastic race, beautiful route, and I’m already signed up for next year.

Thanks @vitalitylondon10k & @beetitsport ❤️
