1️⃣You do not need a laundry list of exercises per workout!
4-6 is the perfect amount to be able to give your all. Think compound movements if you are lacking time. More importantly go heavy! Challenge yourself, that is where yo will see change.

2️⃣Embrace progressive overload.
It can be boring and repetitive, but it is crucial for muscle growth, metabolic boost and fat loss. Challenge your muscles beyond their comfort zone to allow them to adapt and grow. As you add weight you will burn more fat as your muscles grow (not bulk)!

3️⃣Just because you workout does not mean you will see results!
Your nutrition matters…you cannot out train a bad diet…whether it is because you are over eating and eating out, or under eating or quite often not eating enough. Strength training is hungry work - you need to fuel your body in order to see progress. Food is fuel.

4️⃣Ladies you will NOT bulk lifting weights!
Leave the 12+ rep range behind. Heavier weights and fewer reps = gains! Trust me on this and trust the process!

5️⃣Rest days matter!
Rest days are just as important as working days. You may have to switch up training some weeks to keep the body guessing, but rest days are crucial for muscle growth, progress, motivation, and they help to avoid over training and avoiding injury.

6️⃣ Lift weights for life!
Lifting weights are essential for longevity of your body and mind. Walking up stairs, picking up kids, getting in and out the car - all of this is functional and to be able to do this as we age we need to lift weight. As we lift weights our bone density will get stronger.

Muscle is the key to longevity

There’s always a plan and it’s never to late to start

Stop waiting and let’s get lifting 🏋🏼‍♀️💪🏼

Thanks for giving me the best job in the world.
- Motherhood -

This hug is everything. My children.

The most incredible day - celebrating my seventh Mother’s Day!🌸

The love that I have for my sons and daughter words can’t describe. So many people say how you won’t realise how precious your own children are to you until you have your own and how different love is to your child in comparison to anything or anyone else. It is so true.
They are my everything and my biggest motivator. 💖

Being a Mum is certainly a full time job and doesn’t come with instructions or a pause button and I would not change this job for the world. The fact that I can also run a health and fitness business as well, with them by my side is truly magical and I am forever grateful 💞

This is something that I always dreamt of - being a mum, working full time and not having to leave my children - no commute, no nursery, no child minder. So not only am I working for myself, I am inspiring other women that they can do this too.

Today I would also like to recognise my own real life superhero, my mother who is my role model and rock who supports me 100% every single day - my best friend and incredible Nonna - I am forever grateful.

One of my missions is to inspire and encourage all women to create healthy habits and install routines where they work on themselves which reflects onto their children and families and their own physical and mental wellbeing. Yes! This is happening and you know what - you can have it too! There is nothing stopping you!🌟

Big up to all you mothers and mother figures today and everyday💜

Today is our day and let’s look after ourselves today of all days - it’s time to take control and look after you🎀

Happy Mother’s Day 💜🌸
You are all fabulous inside out.

TAG the mothers that you want recognising 🌺💞🎀💐

26.5km at 5.30am this morning through London 🇬🇧

My longest run of my 2026 training block and what a special one it was. At 5:30am the city was just waking up…quiet streets, sunrise breaking over the skyline, and that feeling that London belongs to just runners for a few short moments.

Pounding the pavements and touching parts of the west side of the marathon course past Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Victoria Embankment and Birdcage Walk…it felt pretty magical.

So yes, most marathon plans will have their longest run at 30–34km, this training plan looks a little different for me:

London in 2 weeks
in 4 weeks
Then two weeks later… the start line.

So we adapt, trust the plan, and keep moving forward.

Fuelling was dialled in today:
• Gel every 22 minutes
• Sips of .uk electrolytes every 1km
• Two bananas with honey at 4:45am… quick, simple, easy to digest, especially at that time of the morning!

Marathon training isn’t just about legs and lungs, it’s about training the gut and the mind too. Today for me it felt good!

Proud to be running for - link in bio to support 💖

The best part? Finishing 26.5km feeling like I could keep going. Exactly how a training run should end.

Next week is deload week… and then SOLO - my 5th😅

Trusting the process. Listening to the plan. Very much grateful for mornings like this.

London at sunrise… you’re special. Just me, my thoughts, and a good podcast.

1080 trainers and socks

Take a read of my column in this month.

This month I give you the top tips and all the info you need to get fit without making a big financial commitment.

For years we have been sold the idea in the fitness space that strength training only ‘counts’ if it is happening in a gym with numerous machines mirrors and heavy dumbbells.

Strength training doesn’t require a monthly gym membership it requires consistency, discipline and moving with intention and this can happen anywhere - including your living room with little space and equipment.

I tell you through:
The space you need
The kit you need
The plan you need

I also give you my top 3 exercises for the core that requires no-kit:
- Bird-Dog
- Plank Jack
- Reverse Crunch

You failed your a run on your half/marathon plan… and now you’re spiralling!

Was it even a half/marathon block if there weren’t tears at least once during one of your runs? Any run I mean - easy could’ve felt hard, tempo couldn’t keep up with the paces, long run was just a mountain!

Your run didn’t go to plan.
The pace slipped.
The legs felt heavy.
Mindset was out.
The doubt got loud.
You felt super unfit.
You felt tired.
And suddenly it wasn’t just a bad run.

It was:

“Maybe I’m not ready.”
“Maybe this was unrealistic.”
“Maybe I should just stop now.”
“Maybe I didn’t fuel enough.”
“Maybe I didn’t sleep enough.”
“Maybe it’s the wrong shoes.”

But here’s the truth no one talks about.

Half/Marathon training will humble you before it builds you.

It will test you but time before it proves you.

It will break your ego before it strengthens your mind.

One off run does not decide your marathon.

What decides it?

The moment you nearly quit…and then chose not to.

It certainly and 100% is not over till it’s over.

And you are far from done.

If this was you this week, SAVE this.

Your breakthrough is usually hiding behind the run that made you doubt yourself.

Who needed to hear this?

Feeling refreshed, revived and spoilt!

Fabulous morning at their pop-up salon at in Fitzrovia for their Scalp Restore Experience. Invite.

I started with a trichologist appointment with where she looked at the condition of my scalp and what my hair actually needs. Very interesting indeed, and particularly helpful in answering some questions about why I have experienced postpartum hair loss.

Then I had the dreamiest treatment, a Revive hair scrub followed by a shampoo, condition and the most fabulous bouncy blow dry by

My hair is feeling so fresh and revived 💁‍♀️

Such a gorgeous reset for my hair - thank you for having me .pearson

If you can’t stomach gels on a run, you’re definitely not alone, but that does not mean you should skip fuelling altogether.

Your muscles still need carbohydrates to keep going.

The good news is that gels aren’t the only option. Many runners do better with other foods.

Here are some gel alternatives you can try

🍬 Energy chews
🍭 Jelly Babies
🍬 Wine gums
🍫 Squares of a cereal bar (like NatureValley or Nakd
🍌 Banana pieces
🧃 Sports drink such as
🍯 Honey sachets
🍓 Fruit purée pouches like
🍇 Dates or other dried fruit
🍞 Small jam sandwich pieces
🍪 Plain biscuits like Digestives
🐷 Sweets like
🌴 Dates

For most runners on longer runs, the aim is still roughly 60-90g of carbs per hour, it just doesn’t have to come from gels.

The key is to:
✔️ Practise your fuelling during training
✔️ Start with small amounts
✔️ Find what your stomach tolerates while running

Because the best fuelling strategy is the one you can actually take mid-run. Also don’t just try it once, you may need to try it a few times - train your gut like you train your body.

📌 SAVE this for your next long run
📤 SHARE it to your running partner who hates gels

09/03/2026

Most runners aren’t underperforming…they’re simply not eating enough for the work they’re doing….this used to be me…I’ve been there so I know all about it!!!

If during your runs you:

⏱️ Keep checking the clock for when you can take your next gel
🥵 Feel your legs turn to lead in the last part of the run
🤢 Start feeling sick mid-run or right after finishing
🍭 Immediately crave sugar when you stop
🧱 Consistently “hit the wall” in races

There’s a good chance your carb intake per hour during your runs is too low.

As a running and nutrition coach, here’s the approach I use with runners:

1️⃣ Begin around 60-90g of carbs per hour
2️⃣ Increase gradually as your body adapts
3️⃣ Train your gut so it can tolerate more fuel
4️⃣ Practice your race strategy during long runs

For example:
60g/hour ≈ 3 gels with ~20g carbs
→ roughly one every 20 minutes.

Carb intake and performance are VERY closely linked but only if your stomach can handle it (poo poo!) That’s why gut training matters just as much as physical training.

Highly trained runners can sometimes reach 90–120g per hour, but that level requires practice and usually happens during harder efforts.

📌 SAVE this for your next long run
📤 SHARE it to your running partner

Being a female entrepreneur and a mum of three has never felt more rewarding.

This International Women’s Day the theme is Give to Gain, and it’s something I truly believe in. When women support, uplift and empower each other, we all rise.

As a women’s PT, nutrition, and run coach and wellness expert, I’m on a mission to show women whether you’re a stay at home mum, working mum, or simply a woman on a mission, that you don’t need hours in the gym to transform your health.

Consistency is everything. Even 6–20 minutes of purposeful movement a day can create powerful results.

Women are incredibly powerful, and I’m passionate about giving encouragement, support and belief to help all women feel confident in themselves and their bodies from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.

When women support women, amazing things happen. FACT.

I have tagged in some powerhouse women (can only do 20 though, there are of course many more in my eyes)

But please do TAG a woman who inspires you 👊🏼 Let’s celebrate them.
