POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A weekend with weather not conducive to going into the hills feels like the ideal time to post photos from the last couple of weekends where I very much did get into some hills with good pals and good dogs. Still and sunny days like this might be few and far between in the coming months but that just makes me appreciate these experiences with friends even more. And also gloves.

Quite simply one of the best books I have ever read for so many reasons. It’s life, survival, triumph and everything else. A brave, heartbreaking, heartwarming book - read it lol. @ab_runs thank you for writing this. I read it because of the running. What I’ve taken from it and will continue to do so is way more. Enough said ❤️

Same @mcrhalf , 12 months apart, but different.

Same shoes but different colour
Same T shirt but 2 sizes smaller
Same 13.1 miles but 15 minutes faster
Same person but different mindset
Same person who cried at the finish line, but for different reasons.

A year ago I was just proud to be there, but this year I was chasing a time.

Booked again for next year, but will decide on a target after my next block because I’ve got quite a lot of BIG things between now and then 🤣

As @ab_runs said : Dream, do the fuckin work, achieve ✌🏻

Let’s go 💪🏻

It's no exaggeration to say that Trail Angel @missroxyflower has rescued countless people's races this year.

The running world is full of people who give up their time, and energy, to support others - honestly, it's remarkable - but even so Rachel stands out.

For those that haven't heard the legend...

Rachel has been at every @wildhorse200 and @onaseries race this year, right from registration until the very last runner crossed the finish. She places herself at points throughout the race with a van full of food, drinks, and moral support.

Sideways rain, she's there. Middle of nowhere, she's there. Blistering sunshine, she's there.

Sometimes she's dancing in the road, other times she's got her van lit up like a christmas tree.

She gives more than anyone could comprehend, because she wants to see everyone get that finishers medal.

I sense that it's not really about the snacks - although I'm damn sure they're taken gratefully! - it's about that ellusive quality Rachel has to help people run on feeling lifted and a little lighter.

So Trail Angel, Van Lady, or even just Rachel this is for you.

I knew my words would never do justice so I brought in some people whose might.

People say running is as easy as putting on a pair of trainers and getting outside. That may be the case for some, but if you want to push yourself and reach your goals then what you eat and what you think matter.

These are some books that have helped me in the last few years, but with a slight caveat - you can't just read these, you need to take what they say and you need to apply it.

I think there's at least one approach or tool I've read in these books that I think about every time I go for a run, they're that powerful. Some of the things from Allie's book I've got written down on notecards that I have in my run vest when I'm doing races, because sometimes they stop me from spiralling and get my head back in the game.

If you're not in a position to work with a running coach or sports nutritionist, these books are the next best thing.

If all of this feels like a lot of reading and work to navigate solo, message me for a chat about how we could work together to find your why, strengthen your mindset or maybe just even make your running more enjoyable.

(I can't help with the nutrition stuff though, so defo follow Renee McGregor on Instagram and buy both of her books for that side of things!)

Meet the field: Allie Bailey (and Pickle)

An ultrarunner known for a remarkable series of world-first endurance challenges including being the first woman to cross Mongolia’s Lake Khovsgol and run the full length of the Panama Canal.

Her achievements also include crossing the Namib Desert three times, setting a female group FKT on the Hebridean Way, and in 2021 she became the only woman to finish the inaugural Run Britannia, covering 1,053 miles from Land’s End to John o’ Groats in 35 days.

Allie has won and podium placed a number of 200-mile events, taking first place in both Wild Horse 200 events (South and Mid Wales) and winning the Spine Summer Challenger North event in 2025. In 2026 she completed both the Dragons Back Race and the Full Winter Spine, placing top ten in both events.

As well as joining the starting line for the full Winter Spine in January 2027, Allie will take on the full 236-mile Wrath in May of the same year.

🫵 THANK YOU 🫵
.
Honestly it means the world all the interaction in the comments on my last post, helping me narrow down my selection for @worldsportsphotographyawards to, WELL I SUPPOSE, my TOP 10 PICTURES OF 2026!
.
Each picture tells a story of a moment only truly shared between the athlete, the lens, and the artist behind the lens of any camera, and that is what makes being a photographer in this world so truly special!
.
I can't thank you all to this point enough. Honestly it is a constant rollercoaster, from last year capturing an image of @mellywellywoo in Burghness church being told by some of the greats it is an 'iconic' @spinerace image, to being shortlisted to the final 10 images in the @kendalmountainfestival photography competition in 2025. To this year being given the opportunity to capture the final images at the famous wall of @unscriptedjen and @runfarmrepeat (proving to be some of your favourites from the votes) winning The Summer Spine, being able to go to Lakeland 100 capturing images for an ongoing personal project 'REAL WOMEN, REAL LIVES', as well as another season at @thelapwindermere doing some social media creating 🎥 sharing all the vibes that race carries.
.
It has been another truly amazing year that I personally think has pushed my style and quality that extra level, to the point not only am I entering competition, but I truly believe my work is worthy of being in the space amongst the great photographers of the world!
.
FYI this isn't coming from a place of ego, but a place of belief and love for my own work, a place that if you speak to any creative in the world, they will probably tell you they have always struggled with at some point.
.
So HONESTLY THANK YOU, and 🤞🤞🤞
.
I will put everyone's TAGs through a generator over the weekend to select a winner for an incredible, one of print to send out! 🙌💜
.
