Before I hang up my trainers and let the medal settle, here’s one last nudge for everyone who has woke up walking like a penguin today.

I’ve loved sharing my GNR updates, and I hope they gave you a lift or a little reassurance when you needed it. This is my final post, and it’s all about recovery. So if you’re walking down the stairs sideways đŸ€Ł, you’re not alone. The soreness is real.

Here’s how to help your body forgive you (eventually):

1. Soak it out.
If you crossed that finish line, you should’ve found a packet of Epsom salts tucked in your Great Run goodie bag. That wasn’t just a freebie, it was a recovery essential.
Chuck it in a warm bath and let the magnesium work its magic. It’ll help relax sore muscles, reduce inflammation, and make you feel like you’ve got your legs back.

2. Feed the repair.
Your body’s rebuilding, give it the tools. Protein for repair, carbs for energy, and fluids to rehydrate.
Think chicken wraps, salty crisps, and a smoothie you didn’t have to make yourself. Recovery isn’t punishment, it’s fuel with flavour.

3. Move like you mean it.
Rest doesn’t mean becoming a statue. Gentle movement helps flush out soreness.
Short walks, light stretching, or even pacing around the kitchen while you wait for the kettle to boil, anything to keep the blood flowing and the stiffness at bay.

4. Stretch what’s screaming.
Focus on the bits that are shouting the loudest, calves, quads, hamstrings.
Hold each stretch for 30 seconds, breathe through it, and don’t bounce like you’re in a 90s aerobics video. Slow and steady wins the recovery.

5. Sleep like it’s your job.
This is where the real healing happens. Your body does its best repair work while you’re snoring. So get comfy and hydrate before bed.

Again, this is my last post of the GNR series and I really genuinely hope it helped.

Tag someone who’s taking a few stages to sit down on the toilet đŸ€Ł

I’ll be flying one of the flags for South Tyneside Young Carers tomorrow, and proud to do it.

This charity is a lifeline for so many young people in our area who quietly carry the weight of caring for loved ones. From emotional support to respite breaks, they make sure these incredible kids get the chance to just be kids.

They’re not just impactful, they’re essential.

MASSIVE GOOD LUCK to everyone doing the Great Run tomorrow.

Go show yourself what you’re capable of.

WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT RACE DAY! ⚠

You’ve seen the highlight reels. The medals. The finish line smiles. The perfect playlists & matching kit. But here’s the bit no one talks about, the real stuff

Race day isn’t just a run. It’s a full blown emotional rollercoaster with a bib number.

You won’t see it on the medal, but mile 9 is where people struggle. Mile 11 is where they swear.
And mile 13? That’s where they remember why they started.

You’ll see people talking to themselves. Bargaining. Swearing blind they’re never doing this again. Then five minutes later, they’re helping a stranger who’s struggling.

You’ll see runners stop mid race, because they needed a minute. Because they’re doing something hard and they’re fighting through it.

You’ll see people cross the line with tears, with pride, with disbelief. Not because they smashed a PB, but because they didn’t quit.

And if you are in on Sunday? You’ll be one of them.

You’ll feel everything. The nerves. The doubt. The glory. You’ll have moments where you want to bin it. And moments where you feel unstoppable.

That’s race day.

It’s not perfect. It’s messy, emotional, and absolutely magical all at the same time.

So tonight and tomorrow, don’t worry about being flawless man. Don’t stress about pace or splits or whether your socks match either.

Just get your kit ready. Get your head right. And get ready to feel everything.

Because Sunday isn’t just about running. It’s about remembering who you are when things get hard, and choosing to keep going anyway.

And aye, I’ll be out there with you.

If you spot me at the start, give us a nod or come say hi. If you catch me mid race, I’ll have a sweaty fist bump ready and probably be swearing through a smile 😂

Tag someone who needs this reminder. Share it with your running crew, or a family member or friend that’s running on Sunday to wish them good luck.

And to every single person at that start line on Sunday, MASSIVE good luck from me. You’ve already done the hard part.

Let’s gan for it đŸ–€

⚠ 3 Things NOT to do before the Great North Run ⚠

If you’re lacing up on Sunday, listen in. This isn’t your usual “drink water and stretch” pep talk. It’s the stuff runners don’t talk about, the sneaky mistakes that mess with your mindset, your body, and your confidence.

1. Don’t panic-train.
That last-minute guilt run? Bin it. You won’t gain fitness in 4 days, you’ll just risk injury or burnout. Trust the work you’ve done. The hay is in the barn. Now it’s about rest, fuel, and headspace.

Instead of cramming miles, focus on short, gentle movement to keep your legs ticking over. Walks, mobility, and sleep are your new best mates. Your job now is to arrive fresh, not frazzled.

2. Don’t overhaul your diet.
This isn’t the week to go full “clean eating” monk mode. Your body needs carbs, salt, and joy. Stick to what you know, keep it balanced, and don’t suddenly start necking beetroot juice because TikTok said it’s magic.

Sudden changes = digestive roulette. If you’ve never carb-loaded before, don’t start now. Just eat enough, hydrate well, and keep your meals familiar. Race day nerves are enough without a surprise sprint to the loo.

3. Don’t spiral into comparison.
Whether it’s Strava stats, finish times, or who’s wearing what, block the noise. This run is YOUR story. Your pace, your reasons, your finish line. You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be.

Comparison steals joy. You don’t need to “earn” your place on that start line, you already have. Whether you’re chasing a PB or just hoping to finish upright, own it.
