Future me is going to be old either way.

I’m just making sure she’s strong.💁‍♀️

Killearn 10k 2026🏃‍♀️🏅

Perfect conditions for today’s race. Overcast, threatening to rain, but it held off.🙏

My little Mia was running the Killearn Mile👏 so I chummed her as a warmup to the main event.

I actually enjoyed the race today!😲🤣
Chip time 46:28, 4th V40, 6th lady overall.🎉
Very happy with that!🥳

This might be the first 10k ever where I truly felt strong the whole way through the race! Usually I’m hanging on for dear life in miles 4-6 but not today.😅

I really needed this to put to bed the demons from last year’s (very wet!) Killearn 10k which was a bad run for me. Managed to take 1:37 off today, which felt amazing!

Congratulations to everyone who ran today, and to the amazing Killearn 10k committee for putting on such a great event as always.👏👏

And on to the next! I’ll be lining up at the inaugural Aberdeen half marathon on 18th July. Let’s go!🔥

The biggest mistake I see women make?
Waiting.

Waiting until after the holiday.
Waiting until the kids are back at school.
Waiting until life feels less hectic.
Waiting until Monday.

The truth is, life is never perfectly organised.
There will always be holidays, birthdays, BBQs, school events, weekends away and unexpected interruptions.

That’s why my goal isn’t to help you be perfect.
It’s to help you stay consistent.

Because when you can keep showing up during the messy, unpredictable seasons, that’s when real confidence is built.

That’s exactly what we’re doing inside my 6 Week Summer Accountability Challenge:
☀️ 3 short strength workouts per week
☀️ Daily step target
☀️ Nutrition support
☀️ Accountability and community
☀️ Simple habits that fit around real life

No perfection required.
No starting over in September.
Just small consistent actions that move you forward.

🚨 Doors close tonight at 9pm
🚀 We start Monday
£60 for the full 6 weeks

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines all week, this is your sign.⏰

🎬 TOP 5 SUMMER HORROR FILMS 🎬
Starring:
😱 “My Kids Hijacked My Entire Routine”
😱 “The Holiday Where My Fitness Goals Disappeared”
😱 “What The Hell: The Summer Edition”
😱 “The Case Of The Shrinking Shorts”
😱 “September: The Reckoning”
🤣🤣🤣

Listen, I love summer.
I love BBQs.
I love holidays.
I love slower mornings.
I love spending more time with family.

But if you’re anything like me and my clients, summer can also be the season where routines can easily disappear.

One missed workout becomes two.
A few weeks of “I’ll get back to it next week” turns into September.

And before you know it, you’re trying to remember how you ever managed to fit exercise into your life in the first place.

The good news?
You don’t need a perfect routine this summer.
You don’t need to meal prep every Sunday.
You don’t need to train 5 days a week.
You just need enough structure to keep moving forward.

That’s exactly why I’ve created my 6 Week Summer Accountability Challenge.☀️

HOW IT WORKS👇

✔️ 3 strength training workouts per week
Short, effective home workouts delivered through my easy-to-use coaching app.
Designed to fit around holidays, family commitments and summer chaos.

✔️ Daily step goal
We’ll aim for consistent movement rather than perfection.
Your walks still count.
Your holiday steps still count.
Your treadmill still counts.

✔️ Nutrition support
No restrictive meal plans.
Just simple, realistic guidance and easy summer-friendly solutions.

✔️ Private Facebook community
For accountability, encouragement, motivation and support throughout the 6 weeks.

✔️ Direct access to me
Need a form check?
Have a question?
Want some support?
I’m there.

The goal isn’t to have your “best ever” summer.
The goal is to enjoy your summer while keeping one foot connected to the habits that make you feel your best.

So when September arrives, you’re building from momentum instead of starting from scratch.

☀️ Starts 8th June
☀️ Just £60

🚨 IT’S BACK! 🚨

I’ve been teasing something all week and today I can finally tell you...

To celebrate turning 49 tomorrow, I’m bringing back something that was a huge hit last summer...

☀️THE 6 WEEK SUMMER ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGE☀️

Stars Monday 8th June!

For just £10 per week, I’ll help you stay consistent with the habits that matter most this summer, so you can enjoy every BBQ, holiday, day trip and lazy afternoon without feeling like you’ve completely fallen off track.

This is for you if:
✔️ You want to stay active during the unpredictable summer weeks.
✔️ You want to keep checking the exercise box so you don’t have to dig yourself out of a hole come September.
✔️ You struggle to prioritise yourself when you’re juggling kids, holidays, days out and everyone else’s needs.
✔️ You’d love to feel ahead of the game when September comes around, with no guilt, no anxiety, and no extra 5-7lbs to deal with.
✔️ You want to hit the ground running in September instead of spending the whole month getting back to baseline.

Here’s what you’ll get:
✔️ A minimum of 3 strength workouts each week that travel with you and can be done in 30 minutes or less.
✔️ Delivered through my easy-to-use coaching app.
✔️ Daily step goals.
✔️ Simple summer nutrition support (think easy, no-cook solutions, not hours spent in the kitchen!)
✔️ A private Facebook group for accountability, encouragement, daily motivation and support.
✔️ Form checks and answers to your questions from me.

This is the most accessible way to experience coaching with me.

You deserve a routine that supports you through the unpredictability of summer, not one that gets abandoned every time life gets busy.

Ready to feel supported this summer?

Doors close Friday at 9pm. Just 4 days to get on board.⏰

I took this selfie right after a workout yesterday. Strength training makes me feel so powerful and confident, like I could actually take on ANYTHING… and I think that comes across in the photo. It’s a feeling like no other and I just have to shout about it!🗣️

So how did I get here? Let’s get into it.👇

1. I started strength training from home at 40. I understood that muscle is the fountain of youth and made it my goal to hang on to mine and even build some.

2. I stopped skipping meals and started eating for my goals. Building muscle means eating at maintenance calories (or slightly above). I aim for 120g protein daily, with quality carbs and heart-healthy fats at each meal.

3. I made quality sleep my top priority. Having teenagers makes it hard to be in bed by 9pm, so I don’t get up early to work out. I prioritise 7-8 hours sleep over everything else, including exercise.

4. I got a dog and started walking every day, even on running days. It’s essential for my nervous system regulation and stress management.

5. I kept running because it brings me JOY. It’s my number one mental health hack, keeps my heart healthy and helps me stay fit, athletic and strong. Find a form of cardio you love and stick with it.

6. I cut right back on alcohol. Now I only drink 3-5 times a year (and usually just 1-2 drinks). I sleep like a baby and feel amazing without it.

7. I got on HRT as soon as my sleep started to suffer and the hot flashes ramped up. My sleep improved almost from the first night.

8. I started taking Magnesium Glycinate 30-60 minutes before bed, another game-changer for my sleep quality.

9. I got more consistent with mobility and flexibility work. I’ve practised yoga regularly since I was 40 and became a licensed CIRC Mobility instructor in 2023.

10. I started taking creatine and noticed better workout recovery and less brain fog. Creatine supports muscle building, recovery and cognitive function.

To celebrate turning 49 I’ve put together a special offer to help YOU nail the biggest dial movers and feel AMAZING this summer! Stay tuned for all the deets coming tomorrow.👀
