London Marathon 2026 - 2:49. Almost a 5 minute personal best. A race and a day I will never forget.

I almost didn’t make the start line. Our family is going through a really difficult time, and mentally, I just wasn’t sure I had it in me. Physically, maybe – but emotionally, I was wrecked. Then my husband said to me the night before: “We will be fine. We love you. You’ve put in too much work to not race tomorrow. Just go. Go and get on with it. Go smash it”. So that’s what I did.

A dear friend practically got me out the door at 6:30am, into London, to the start area, kit on – all whilst wearing the most gloriously awful T-shirt so I could spot her in the crowd. She handed me extra drinks and fuel, and simply knowing she was there was enough. There if I needed her. Still there if I didn’t.

I ran my own race, exactly as I planned at 9pm the night before whilst eating rice and putting my kit bag together (nothing like last minute preparation). Through half at 1:24, feeling controlled and comfortable. I fuelled and hydrated well, and worked hard to keep pace around the tricky Canary Wharf section. Legs were tiring but I still felt strong in those last few miles, and that’s exactly what you train for. I knew I had my ‘A’ goal of 2:49 in the bag if I could just hold pace for that last 5k. Crossing the line I felt pure relief. It was done.

Celebrations were brief – a pint & a packet of crisps (not recommended recovery) before heading home – so I didn’t make it back to to celebrate with the team. But what an incredible group of runners. has been a brilliant experience, and I’m genuinely grateful for every part of it. I’m not sure I’d have chased – let alone run – that time without the support and genuine want for us to succeed.

I don’t say this often. But I am so proud of myself. Proud of the work I put in. Proud of how I ran the race. Proud that I took all that stress and emotion and channelled it into the best marathon of my life. And proud that, with the love and support of my friends and family, I just “got on with it” – and absolutely smashed it.

London Marathon 2023. 2:54! A PB! Took a bit of a gamble and went out fast to see if I could hold sub 2:50 pace but turns out I couldn’t, and the last 10k was a struggle - my quads were screaming at me! But I wanted to try, and you don’t know until you do. Plus I still came home with over a 2 min PB so very happy! I do love the London Marathon though, it’s absolutely amazing. Thank you to everyone who helps to organise, volunteer and support - you’re epic! Now for a rest!

My youngest was having a bad day at park run this morning and he really wanted to give up at lap 1. His big and much faster brother took his hand and ran with him for the second lap, encouraging him all the way. They did a sprint finish and he made sure his little brother crossed the line ahead of him. Just the sweetest moment. My heart melted a little! And no, it’s not always like that in this household at all - more often there’s fights about blimmin’ Pokémon cards! So a special moment that was worth a spot on my not very busy page (small chance you might have noticed that social media is not a strong point nor particular focus of mine 😁)

I may be losing a few toe nails and can’t really do steps, but I (mostly) LOVED that! So amazing that could go ahead this year. Really loved the support and the atmosphere, truly makes you smile when it gets tough. And getting a shiny new PB of 2:56 is the absolute cherry on the cake. I worked blimmin’ hard for that! Doubt was creeping in this week, but I knew I’d done the arduous prep - so I’m pleased as punch that it all came together on the day. HUGE THANK YOU to my everyone who supported me with cheers & messages and THANK YOU London!

I’m back! After taking a much needed break over August for some quality family time - super lucky to get to Portugal, and turning 40! The boys are back at school today and I’m back at work doing what I love for a job. A few testimonials describing how I support women to change their bodies (and minds and lives in some instances!) follow our family pool jump pic and if you’d like to find out more about working with me either on a 1-2-1 basis, as a small group or online then do get in touch! I’ve limited availability but we can always chat this through. Bring on September and helping wonderful women like you to achieve their goals! 👊 💪

Hello! Whilst all my 1-2-1 slots are currently booked up, I do have couple of spaces going in some of my small group sessions - two spaces at Friday 10.15am and one space on Tuesdays at 12.45pm. These are weekly sessions (term time) focussing on all round fitness (e.g strength, core, cardio) and there’s weights and adaptations available to appropriately challenge everyone whatever your fitness level or starting point. Groups are kept small of around 6 and held outside unless lockdowns or terrible weather take us zoom! Always a friendly and welcoming group, with lots of laughs and chat along with the work and sweat! Please message me if you’d like to join or find out more 💪

If I was to write on my CV what my ‘hobbies’ are (the awful bit when you’re meant to make yourself sound interesting and well rounded 🤪) mine is most definitely running at the moment. And you could say it sits well with my passion for women’s fitness and wellbeing, which I’m so lucky to ‘do’ for a job. Although no one has to run or even like running if they work with me - just to clarify that one as I’m asked a lot “will I have to run?!”

I only discovered that I really loved to run at 34 or 35 so I’m a late starter to regular running, competition and racing. But I love it. And races ARE BACK! On Sunday I did my first race in 15 months. It was more like a time trial than a race for social distancing reasons. This meant you had no idea where anyone else was in their run as they started you individually and not in any sort of pace order. So everyone was different paces on all parts of the course. Guess all the solo lockdown running helps! But I loved being back out there and bagged myself a half marathon PB of 1:24. I know I can go faster too with more practice and more work - like anything you want to get better at. So I look forward to the challenge. Bring on some more racing through 2021 and I’m hoping the final stages of my 40th year (big 4-0 in Aug) will be my best running months yet 🙌

Many mothers and mother figures have had to take on additional roles this past pandemic year - and not always ones we signed up for. I’m raising a glass to you all today 🥂 Well done. All of you. It’s been a marathon!

Found this pic today from 2017 that makes me laugh. I can’t decide if endless episodes of Ben & Holly, Peppa pig and Paw Patrol have helped more than they’ve irritated over the years. But I’ve always been a fan of Nanny plum - if in doubt, resort to magic 😂 now if she could magic away covid-19 that would be most welcome.
