LET’S SUPPORT LOCAL & SMALL BUSINESSES

Hi everyone 👋

Running a small business can be challenging, especially with social media algorithms making it harder for our posts to be seen. Sometimes the smallest gesture of support can make a huge difference.

I’d be incredibly grateful if you could take just 15 seconds to support my business page:

✔ Click the 3 dots (…)
✔ Select Invite Friends
✔ Tap Invite All

That’s it! 🙌

I would be so grateful for this please 🙏

Deal Tri are now holding weekly Monday running sessions for juniors. Led by the brilliant Ashley Roberts-Moyle.

This is for all abilities also. For ages between 6-12.

Non members are also welcome 🙏

Running offers children vital physical, mental, and developmental benefits. It actively strengthens cardiovascular health, builds bone density, and regulates body weight. Mentally, it releases mood-boosting endorphins, reduces stress, and enhances cognitive function and focus in school. It also teaches lifelong skills like goal-setting, discipline, and resilience.

Don’t hesitate - please contact Ash for more details.

A busy Saturday Morning 🌅

Was delighted to present Nicola Smith with her Athlete of the month award for May. This included a DGPC Certificate and £50 SportsShoes voucher, a worthy first winner 🏆 - well done Nikki.

My neice Jade Louise Gibb has been training hard for the past 4 weeks and today completed her first Parkrun in 30:15 - a very impressive time. We were joined by Kiki Gibb who like her uncle is massively supportive to new runners and was a great cheerleader and support to Jade today. We was also joined by my 3rd Neice Anastasia Halvorsen who is also doing amazing in her running and fitness journey. A lovely family affair today. I’m sure my Dad/Grandad to the girls would have been looking over us all with a proud smile today 💙

Lastly - I was presented with a unique Deal Tri personalised *On the nose* award today. This is given out for chase the pacer events for people to share, it was a lovely gesture to get my own one. I pride myself on my consistency and discipline with pacing - and after getting 6 on the nose out of 7 it was a lovely surprise (still annoyed about the other one being 1 seconds out)

Great to see all my other athletes at Parkrun today - in biblical conditions 💨 . Everyone is training very hard behind the scenes with their bespoke personalised plans.

My community is forever growing and I am so proud to have created this group of like minded individuals. It’s exciting seeing everybody working hard - but most importantly enjoying their training and sessions.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend 😀

Happy Global Running Day — 3 June 2026

If you’ve been thinking “maybe I should,” here’s the honest case for giving running a go. No kit, no club, no PB required.

Mental health benefits
• Lowers stress and takes the edge off anxiety. That post-run calm is real, linked to endocannabinoids and not just endorphins
• Lifts mood quickly. Research highlighted by ASICS found as little as 15 minutes of movement can boost how you feel
• Improves sleep quality and helps you switch off at night
• Supports brain health: better memory, clearer thinking, and more new brain cell growth with regular aerobic activity
• Swapping 30 minutes of sitting for moderate activity is associated with around 9% lower depressive symptoms and about 5% lower anxiety symptoms 

Physical health benefits
• Strengthens your heart and lungs, lowering risk of heart disease
• Builds fitness, endurance and helps with healthy weight management
• Supports bone, knee and back health when you build gradually
• Outdoors adds vitamin D and natural terrain that challenges balance and resilience
• Linked to longer, healthier lifespan with consistent activity 
Why give it a go today

1. It’s the lowest barrier sport. Shoes, door, go. Walk-run for 1 minute on, 1 minute off. That’s a start…
2. You feel it fast. Mood and energy often shift the same day, not after months.
3. It scales to you. 46 or 16, Deal seafront or treadmill, solo or with mates — it works the same.
4. It’s social if you want it to be. Parkrun on Saturday, a WhatsApp loop with friends, or just a nod to another runner.
5. Global Running Day gives you permission. Everyone’s out doing something imperfect today. Join the world’s biggest 5K, walk it if you like.

The only regret you you will feel is not giving it ago 😀

Folkestone Coastal 10K

Another Pacing job at yesterday’s Folkestone 10km. Including a heartwarming exchange with the Dover legend - Running Keith. Claire Louise Gartland - Marsh didn’t hit her A goal - but managed to get a course PB and finish strong 💪🏼

Was great to see some friends and my other athletes on the way too. Such a great event by Nice Work.

What a fantastic first month of business for - a steep learning curve for me but one I am very excited about.

One of my priorities is keeping my athletes motivated and hungry and I wanted to implement this in my business.

So I have an Athlete of the month award and other ideas moving forward.

I am delighted to announce the first ever winner of this is Nikki has been working so tirelessly behind the scenes since we started working together in February. We targeted a sub 2 hour Half Marathon and managed this in Riga 🇱🇻 during May. It wasn’t easy for Nikki - but she was so determined and delivered a near perfect race. This form lead to another fantastic effort at the Folkestone 10km yesterday. Such a worthy winner.

Nikki will receive a DGPC Certificate and £50 SportsShoes voucher for her efforts. 😀

Yesterday it was a dream for me to showcase my new DGPC vest at the Folkestone 10km. Since they have been available for sale - I’ve had over 50 orders in. I’d just like to thank everybody for the support. I feel totally blessed with everyone’s support, and I will be sticking in the final order tomorrow morning. Thanks to Claire Louise Gartland - Marsh for modelling the female version.

I’ve had some amazing feedback yesterday from strangers and was completely overwhelmed with the kindness of people.

If anyone else wants to get one - they are £45 for Vest/T Shirt. Just send me a DM 😀
