The weather for the London Winter Run 10k was definitely appropriate! I emerged from Westminster Tube station to meet some of the other Team Naturally Run (TNR) participants into bracing winds and icy cold- brr! Beautiful morning! At least the sun was trying to make an appearance and the Embankment looked pretty awesome as we … More London Winter Run 10k
I never knew the combination of mud, hills and strong winds could be so mentally tiring! Last Saturday (10th Jan), I took part in my first ever proper trail race, the Trailscape Ashurst (Kent) 10k. These guys have organised the Rail to Trail series, enabling Londoners to get out into the country to experience some … More Rail to Trail: Trailscape Ashurst 10k
There was no elf costume this year, just a sparkly new 5k PB for me at the Team Naturally Run Christmas race! We’d chosen the Run Through Greenwich Park 5k (or 10k) as our annual gathering, and some of the girls had definitely gotten into the festive spirit, with trees to add to last years … More TNR Xmas Run: Greenwich Park 5k

It’s only by pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone that we realise what we are truly capable of, and a 24-hour trail race was definitely not in my “cosy comfy corner”! But, when I … More Spitfire Scramble: Running Outside Your Comfort Zone

I won the entries to the Windsor Trail Half last November, and having convinced my brothers to run with me, January to May were … More My First Half Marathon! {Windsor Trail Half}
Race number two of my Geneva race-cation was as part of Team Naturally Run 1 in the Relay Marathon!

The … More Geneva “Race-cation” – Geneva Relay Marathon
Ah where to start! This past weekend was amazing. I travelled to the Geneva Marathon Weekend with a bunch of Team Naturally Run ladies (an awesome running community headed by Leah) to eat, run, sightsee and socialise.
