Holkham Parkrun: A Tourist’s Review

When you become a super sad running geek (like me), one of the requirements of a potential holiday has to be a local parkrun. In fact, there is even a designated parkrun travel agent who specialises in exotic international parkrun tourism (they’re called Exodus travels if you’re interested). My latest holiday tourism wasn’t international, or… Read More Holkham Parkrun: A Tourist’s Review

NHS70 Parkrun

As some of you may be aware, our incredible National Health Service is turning 70 years this Summer! As part of the celebrations, over a hundred parkruns across the UK hosted a #NHS70 parkrun to say a great big thankyou to the NHS, and hopefully inspire more people to get active. The initiative was backed… Read More NHS70 Parkrun

You may not be aware, but today is #RandomActsOfKindnessDay !! To celebrate, @trainingvds have been sharing stories of kindness and compassion from the vet community all this week. . . I loved watching them, so thought I’d be brave and do my first vlog (thank you @andyrose92 and @vetfitinsta for the inspiration!) and share the moment that stood out to me 😊 I’d love to hear what you think of, when you think about a time one small act of kindness from another made a huge difference to you. Maybe as a vet 🐶, a runner 🏃‍♀️, or something completely different! . . Let’s share those stories, and see if we can all try do one (or more!) kind thing for somebody else today to pay all of that compassion forward 🌷 . . . #bekind #kindness #actsofkindness #vlogger #vetsofinstagram #vetlife #bsava #kindnessmatters #showcompassion #vetblog #runninggirl #thisgirlcanrun #thisgirlcan #payitforward #vetmindmatters #ukrunchat #runr #runningvlog #wellvetweekend @wellvetweekend

🤗 Do I win the cheesiest Valentines Day run award? 11.5 miles to visit our love-lock on a local bridge!! 🔐 💖 . . I’ve been missing my mojo after 9 night shifts in 11 days.. but this marathon isn’t going to run itself. And of course, once I was out in the glorious still winter sun I remembered why I do this! Spring is coming people 🌷 Happy Valentines Day beautiful runners xxx . . . #valentinesday #valentinesdayrun #lovelock #lovelockbridge #runningmotivation #longslowrun #runninggirl #marathoner #marathontraining #vlm2019 #londonmarathon #runselfie #runr #ukrunchat #runhappy #nightshiftworker #nightvet #vetsofinstagram #vetlife #runningmojo
Storm Erik did his best to blow us backwards around the parkrun course this morning but we battled through 🌬🏃‍♀️!! Our garden shed didn’t fair so well 🙈 . . First run for a week.. I’ve been working nights for the last few months and I get a lot more time off, but I’m really struggling to find consistency in my training. I overtrain before my week on to cram the miles in, manage a few sessions on the first 2-3 days, then give up, and I’m finding I struggle to get going again after the week is over. But, as always, parkrun is a fantastic motivator. Even when Storm Erik comes too 😆 . . . #stormerik #parkrun #windyselfie #messyhairdontcare #runchat #parkrunuk #runningblog #runninggirl #marathontraining #nightshiftworker #nightvet #runr #windinmyhair #runselfie #runningmotivation
This time last week I was running the gorgeous Holkham Parkrun 😊 This morning I’d planned a parkrun close to work to do a post nightshift run, but when it came to it I’m just too tired so I’m going to prioritise self-care today. This photo is in front of Holkham Hall but actually from a holiday training run pre-marathon last year. Happy memories! . . I did however write a little tourist review of the beautiful (and coffin shaped!) Holkham parkrun in case anyone fancies a little holiday tourism this year. It’s my absolute favourite 💓 Have a read, link in my bio. Happy parkrunday everybody!! I’m off to bed now 😴 . . #parkrun #holkhamparkrun #holkhamhall #holkhamestate #parkruntourist #parkrunreview #loveparkrun #runningblog #runchat #ukrunchat #thisgirlcanrun #nottswomenrunners #runhappy #guidedogsrunner #guidedogheroes #marathontraining
After a dog-walk-recce of my planned route I decided ski-wear was definitely in order ⛷!! After locating the least icy sections I did a nice little session: . . ❄️ 1 x slow mile warm-up with a few bursts at the end ❄️ 1 x mile target 5k pace ❄️ 1 min rest (walking) ❄️ 1 mile target 5k pace ❄️ 1 mile warm down (slow run, mararathon pace . . It was really good to keep running after my quick interval and realise I can get my breath back while still actually running rather than collapsing in a heap! And it’s a nicer way to finish the run 😊 So a successful session and no broken ankles or other ski injuries!! 😂 . . #skiwear #speedsession #marathontraining #marathoner #londonmarathon #vlm2019 #winterfashion #iceskating #iamasweatybetty #sweatybetty #runchat #ukrunchat #wintersun
