So WHWrace training has begun and thank goodness I have a goal to focus on. This year I feel is going to be a toughy, 2020 a warm up for what is coming for us in the UK.
WHWrace take 2.
Planning training for my second 95mile race. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to covid, but always 2021!
Virtually Running Nowhere
The West Highland Way Race was my only race booked for 2020. I had been injured and needed something to keep me focused and to look forward to. I got the green light end of Jan to run the race from the physio, and by mid March I was starting to get close to pre- … Continue reading Virtually Running Nowhere
A knock in confidence
I was injured in my last post, and I am still injured, maybe even more so now!

I feel really proud … Continue reading Review: UNDERDOG

The salt water carries my tingling body and my heart and face sing with the exhilaration and freedom the cold … Continue reading RedBull Neptune Steps

Cold Water
Last year I entered the water on Hampstead Heath on a December dawn. I could not stand the 4-degree coldness, the pool spat me out.
