The sun’s blazing, the air is thick, your toddler refused to nap, and you’re already dreaming about your next ice cream before you’ve even stepped out the door. I love running, but when life is full and the heat is on, I … More Real-life tips for summer running
Running has been part of my life for several years now, but like many new mums, I have definitely found it difficult to get back into a consistent routine after having my son. Juggling motherhood, work, and self-care is a challenge, but I was determined to start 2025 by setting a goal: running the 5K … More Achieving my post-baby PB at the MK Festival of Running
My Return to Running after having Arthur has been a slow but steady journey, and this final phase (not to suggest this is the endpoint) is about celebrating what I’ve achieved.

So the last time I wrote something on this blog I’d just kicked off the year feeling energised, motivated and excited about all the active adventure plans we had in place. Fast forward a couple of months and the world couldn’t be more different. If I’m honest I’ve mainly spent the last few weeks figuring … More Adjusting to the ‘New Normal’
