For probably the last 6 years or so, I've been in two minds about deleting my social media altogether. My friends have heard me talk about this multiple times already in the last few months alone, including deleting my Strava account (shock horror!). 💁‍♀️

Without social media, there are so many things I would never have done or seen, or people I would never have met. And I will be forever extremely grateful for that side of it. 🤗

But I'm also pretty sure that you have all experienced the darker sides and impact that social media has on our lives as well. And that's the part that I'm very much over. 🙅‍♀️

I sit in front of a screen for the best part of 37 hours a week for my day job, and I'm proactively reducing my screen time elsewhere because I don't believe that it's healthy to spend so much time on devices. There's a whole bunch of research that backs that up, as well. But recently I've had more capacity to consider this part of my life and as I grow and change with time and experiences, I also have greater clarity about what I want and how I want to live instead. After all, I'm the only one who can choose how I spend my time: my greatest resource, and the only thing I truly have to offer to the world. ⏳

So in search of a better balance, you'll probably see me around less. It's not personal (I still care!), but it is more intentional, and it's more authentic too. I've already been living car-free for a number of years now, and I wish I was brave enough to get rid of my smartphone entirely too, but I'm not sure I'm quite there yet. I'm a simple girl at heart, and I'm doing my best to find my way back to that. 🤳

In the meantime, if you're still interested, let's find other ways to connect. I've always felt that life is built on the little things. Like the yellow poppy I saw today, or the way Kat's bowl broke when I dropped it earlier. So if you ever need someone to share your smaller moments with, I'll always be down to listen. You know where to find me. 😘

Gralloch 110km: my first DNF 🙅‍♀️

I signed up to with .oco primarily to support her in her first event. After only getting into cycling in the last two years, it's been amazing to see Yas get to the point where she can take on a world class gravel race. The course looked stunning, the weather seemed decent, and we were ready to go in the middle of Dumfries and Galloway. 🚵‍♀️

Immediately we started climbing. The nerves and the crowd cleared and we settled into a rhythm. The gravel was glorious from the outset and I was excited for the descents (always my favourite). We kept getting leap-frogged by a media motorbike, and about 10 miles in just as we hit the rough stuff and the bike was passing me - BANG. 💥

Still happily pedalling, I looked at the motorbike and couldn't see a problem, so wondered if it might have been a misfire. But when I looked down at my own bike, the tell-tale signs of pink sealant over my legs and front wheel told me that this wasn't going to be the ride we had hoped!🤦‍♀️

After lots of help from the elite race winners who just happened to pass by, we managed a 'get me home' blown tyre solution. Yasmine and I then parted ways. I gently rode back to the event village as she continued - solo - for another 60km to be back in time for dinner. 💪

I'm so proud of Yas and everything she's achieved. Cracking on alone on her first event around a course that tests even the best gravel riders in the world is a huge thing to have accomplished. For my first DNF it's a good story to tell, and looking back at the hole in my tyre, I'm surprised I stayed on! I'm sad I didn't get to support my friend, but what I did see of the course and the vibe from the amazing people I spoke to instead means I know I'll be back to conquer it another day. 🙌

Thanks to and for their support as always, to for keeping everything running smoothly and a huge shout out to , and for the craic after my big summer blow out! 💃

I'm still fairly new to my local area, so suggested I join my local group to find new walks close to home as well as meet like-minded people. 🗺️

I joined the group one weeknight after work, and it quickly became clear that everyone was there for the same reasons: to further explore what the area has to offer, find a supportive tribe, build confidence, and connect with others. 🚶‍♀️

If you’re interested in meeting new people and exploring more of your local area, head to ramblers.org.uk to find walks near you. 🥾

If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love the world, travel. 🌎

Being 96% mountainous and 71% forest, Bhutan cleared my lungs of the dust of India and Nepal. The people here are gentle, kind, and of course, they love nature. The respect the people have for the culture is refreshing, and it's clear that the government is genuinely trying to do right by its people and its land. There is a lot of long-term thinking and planning in what they do, and everyday life has a calmness and peace about it that tends to come from those that know the simplicity and harshness of the wild. Here, we don't rush time. Here, even the dogs admire the view. 🇧🇹

Where chillis get treated as vegetables - not as a condiment - and tourists are accepted with patience as their own. I have met some of the sweetest and most unassuming people in the last three weeks. At the end of my great Himalayan adventure, I’m so proud that I continue to chase my dreams and live with integrity to see and do the things that I was fascinated by as a little girl. From a photo in an encyclopedia, to right in front of my eyes. From the pages in a book, to my very own hands. Being here has been nothing short of magical.🛕

I always have a lot of feelings heading home from an adventure, no matter how big. But it's a privilege to be able to share these journeys with you; especially the things I have learned, and how it impacts me as a person. I hope you get as much out of it as I do. 🧘‍♀️

I have a million different identities, and they are all simultaneously true. But in the end the world keeps teaching me that if I can be anything, I only want to be kind. And that's enough. 💙

Rhinos and tigers and rice, oh my! 🐅

I've always been drawn to the edges of things. The liminal. The thin spaces. The grey areas. That's where you learn. It's where you grow, and for me, it’s in the in-between that you truly get to live. 🧘‍♀️

I'm a pretty small person as it is, but going places that remind me of just how small and insignificant I am has always been important to me. It reminds me of a perspective that I never want to lose. Two years ago, I spent almost a month sailing across the sea, and laying on the deck of that yacht, pinned to a rock hurtling through space and time and peering down at billions of stars beneath us gave me one kind of perspective. But standing in front of some of the biggest mountains of our world in a land-locked country amongst a culture that has roots dating back 3000 years put things into perspective in a different way. 🗻

Nepal has been on my wish-list for a very long time, and I have no doubt I'll be back. The beauty here is overwhelming, the people are inspiring in so many ways, and I don't think I realised how many moments of my life have a connection to this place until those moments slowly started to add up during this week. The insignificant slowly built to become significant. Everything leads to something else, and when it's your time, it's your time. Leading on from a trip in India, it feels fitting to remind myself of Gandhi's quote: Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it.🙏

Namaste, Nepal. 🇳🇵

Dhanyavaad, India! 🇮🇳

Spending a week fitting in as much of the Golden Triangle as possible has been a good reminder that for me, it's always worth it and it always works out. 🧘‍♀️

From the moment I landed in Delhi, India felt vaguely familiar. The people are well known for their hospitality and of course the welcome and the food did not disappoint! The sights, smells and sounds of the tiny part of this country that I am privileged enough to have been able to explore have been exquisite. From getting stuck in making Chapatti with the locals on my first day, to several dawn adventures to beat the crowds, fully surrendering to the will of the universe and all the carbs at every meal, India is no doubt a treat for the senses. 🙌

Life is hard enough as it is already, so seeing the people here support each other (food is not an issue when anyone can get a free meal at the temples) and fill every corner of their lives with bright colours, incredible smells, and of course the sound of horns, feels like chaotic good in action. Despite a sometimes rocky but fascinating past, everyone I met seemed to just want better for the collective as a whole, and were only too happy to tell me their own story too. 🙏

After all, it takes a village. 🪷

Glasgow HYROX doubles women: 1:20:19. 🔥

Our first ever race together and what a race it was! We had only trained together once before hand, and the race plan was hashed out during a sauna session literally the night before. It pretty much consisted of loose splits that aligned with our individual strengths and the fact that the plan was going to change in the moment, so we were committed to constant communication throughout. 👯‍♀️

Having raced my first solo less than 20 hours before hand, I wasn't sure how well I would be able to keep up my running pace as that's a weaker point for me. But with being the stronger runner anyway, I knew she would be able to push me to keep us on track to hit sub-90. 🏃‍♀️

Conversely, I am the stronger athlete on the stations, as Nicole has only been strength training for the last couple of months since I first convinced her to say yes to a HYROX race! But we always felt like we are reasonably well matched with similar builds, and with a good base fitness from triathlon, there was never any doubt that she would crush it. Watching her push through Burpees like there was no tomorrow and literally having to run to keep up with her on the farmers carry was an awesome experience, where we ranked top 30 on that station out of 1793 teams. 💪

I had so much fun racing together with one of my best friends. Thank you for running around like a pair of lemons with me in front of thousands of people. I can't wait for more races together in the future! 🍋

I've never been body confident, so putting these out there feels very vulnerable, but this week I realised I could still rep out chin-ups whilst fresh (thanks 💪) having not trained them since climbing out of my last trauma hole in 2022. And so whilst this isn't my usual type of post, it felt like it needed saying all the same.

I've been training for over two decades, and for as long as I can remember, I've always been strong. In particular I've always had defined shoulders, back and quads. This resulted in being bullied at school by jealous boys who enjoyed calling me things like 'man arms' as a teenager. So for 20 years, instead of leaning into it, like so many other women out there, I tried to shrink myself to fit what western society kept telling me was more aesthetic.

Obviously I never got there. Genetics, biomechanics and physiology don't work that way, and we don't have the option to choose a different body either. But it didn't stop me trying, and sometimes I do forget all the different lives I've lived in the meantime. One of the reasons I got into endurance sports in the first place was in an effort to make myself smaller. I reached county competition level in 9 different sports. But external expectations coupled with AuDHD meant nothing ever lasted very long.

I've now been training Hyrox for about 6 months; the longest I've been committed to training a specific thing since I stopped competition climbing 10 years ago. I'm currently at my heaviest, but also the strongest (the weight is muscle!), most confident and probably the happiest too. It's really interesting to reflect not only on how far I've come, but also all of the different experiences that have played a part along the way.

I have a lot of exciting things planned event-wise in 2026 and leaning into my strength is absolutely at the core of it. In March, I have back-to-back Hyrox races: a solo race followed by a doubles race with the wonderful . We are fundraising for (link in bio) - a charity close to Nicole's family's heart - and it's been so wonderful to find such supportive friends and community where I used to feel so alone. 🙌

This isn't my first Christmas alone (I'm fairly sure I'm into double figures), and it probably won't be my last.

Every year I get invited by amazing people to join them, but partaking in traditions that aren't mine sat around a table I don't feel I belong doesn't feel right. I have my own traditions now - a triathlon (usually in reverse order) followed by home made pizza and cuddles with Kat. Me and Christmas just aren't meant to be, but here we are anyway.

Normally I use December to look back at what I've achieved that year. But I don't feel like doing that. Not because I didn't achieve much; I did, including things I never dreamed of before. I have exciting plans for 2026 too. But getting here has taken over a decade of everything I am, starting from the ground up, and it feels right to take a moment to sit with that instead. With plenty of scars (physical and otherwise) to prove it, I have rebuilt my world so many times I've lost count. This time I chose it as a priority for my health and wellness instead of reacting to another curve ball. I learned to save myself.

I've always been drawn to the Highlands. My first big solo holiday was a tour of Scotland at 18 and I've been trying to find my way back since. I knew I loved it then as I love it now. A DNA test confirmed me to be 96% of sea-faring, mountain loving menace (read: basically a viking). And shortly after moving to Inverness, I discovered that in the middle of the city, there is a grave of a 'Jackson' who fought at Culloden. As the Scots say, 'whit's fur ye'll no go by ye', and I get the feeling I was meant to be here all along.

So this year after a healthy dose of fresh air I am inviting those Grinch feelings to the table and sharing my Christmas pizza. Because although on some days it might feel a bit lonely right now, it doesn't feel sad anymore. It feels hopeful, peaceful, and finally it feels safe to sit with thoughts I used to struggle with. It doesn't matter if anybody else cares anymore, because I care, and that's enough. The Highlanders in particular are known for being a hardy bunch, and if it's one thing I know, I know how to do hard things.

After all, I am a local now. 🏴󠁧󠁢
