It’s massively increased in popularity over the years, but why? Pilates is now a part of mainstream fitness in health clubs and studios across the globe. Many people use the exercises to achieve their fitness goals and to enhance their exercise regime. Since the 1990‘s the scientific community (Osteopaths, Physiotherapists etc) have recognised the contributions that Pilates exercises make to injury rehabilitation, giving this form of exercise huge awareness and credibility. The original exercises have been modified so they are suitable for all fitness levels and abilities.

Hello friends 👋
Apologies for being utterly rubbish at posting recently! Life has been very busy as my Mum moved into a care home a couple of months ago. She is now living nearer me which is great but I haven’t had much time to post - also with general life - kids, work, business etc !

I’m running the Brighton marathon in 2.5 weeks. So far it’s been a great training block. I’ve changed ALOT of my training this time so we’ll see what happens on the day. Not stressing about a finish time. Sounds strange but actually have a goal of getting to the start line! It would have been easy to dip out of this one as training hasn’t been top priority.

That said as always running has been my constant and given me clarity and headspace during a difficult time.

I’m enjoying catching up on everyone’s news!

Happy NY all. Bit late with this post but wishing you all the very best for 2026. Here are my 2025 running highlights:

* Best new experience- 2 hr pacer at the London landmarks half marathon
* Best city run - Paris along the Seine with Isla
* Best achievement - a new half marathon PB at the Battersea Park half with RunThrough
* Best forest run - 7k in the hills at the Devils Punch bowl also with Isla
* Best view - Cap de Formentor Pollenca - what a hill!! 🥵
* Best beach run - New Forest with friends 🥰
* Best short distance - 5k and 🥉 lady at the Hype Park 5/10k with RunThrough
* Best Parkrun - just before Christmas for Hollys birthday 🥳🎄

Total KM’s: 1,676kms my biggest year for mileage ever.

Where 2025 was a very challenging year at times. Running is and always will be my constant. I managed to stay injury free and ran over 35% extra miles than the previous 2 years.

This week I start training for Brighton. I hope I can remain injury free 🤞I have been neglecting strength training recently so need to sort that!

Hazel 🥰

Settling in really well and the whole fam loving her. I forgot just how amazing having a dog in the house is (I’m pretty tired though - nighttime’s have been slightly wakeful 😝) but she’s worth it 😍

🥉 lady today in for the

As good a run as I could have hoped for based on my fitness levels! Didn’t quite have the stamina from the start to hang onto the 22.30 pacer but could see him the whole way & marvellous decision for the pacers to be luminous!!. Thanks to all the lovely runners I met on the start line and during the run and congrats to these 2 fab ladies ➡️ who took 🥇 and 🥈2nd place lady only started running in April - wow!

My strava scraped in at goal pace (22.58 🎯 22.59) but chip is 23.11 & we go with that 👍

Thanks for another really enjoyable event 💙

Hope you all have a brilliant weekend!

📸 Some summer favs ☀️ 🏖️ 🍸

And just like that its all over 😭

Back to school this week - Isla (Y11), Seb (Y9) and George (Y6) I’ll miss them - except for the food & lift requests 😂

Back to a full schedule of classes from next week 👍

Some years I don’t make it to the top as my nerves get to me. Not because of the incline but because it’s a difficult road to climb with heavy traffic, buses, bikes etc but today the climb felt more appealing than the hill reps I had planned!

The final 1k though 🥵 I had to remind myself I could do hard things as I was determined not to stop. Felt very happy to make it and enjoy the view 🙌

Next time I’m dragging or with me tho!

Feeling relaxed in ☀️

Staying hydrated post runs and after days out in the sun with this lovely new flavour Wild Cherry - from 😋 ➡️ a heatwave is coming over the next few days so I’m glad I bought a lot with me. I’ve adjusted to the heat now with running but it’s still pretty tough 🥵 if I don’t get up early enough!

This pic was taken after climbing up 300 steps in Pollenca old town to this view 😊

Back in my happy place ☀️ something special about running out here. I think it’s the sea dip at the end which keeps me going when it gets tough! Easy run wasn’t especially easy due to the heat but I will get used to it. Definitely worth getting up for 🙌

💎

⚡️ atmosphere yesterday in the and I was in my element watching so many of my favourite athletes with my family ❤️

Added bonus meeting the very friendly & lovely after her incredible race & new record 🙌

Seb was happy to get Zharnels signature too 😊

Just realised I am officially terrible at watching/ filming at the same time 😂 but it was all so exciting !

17/07/2025

6.5km Progression run which suited me well today after yesterday’s 14km (which was a slog!)

Enjoying running off plan at the minute, it’s too hard trying to combine any big fitness goals with the school holidays so my next 🎯 is the 5k in Sept!

Looking forward to some holiday running in Mallorca 🔜

Is it the end of term yet? I’m frazzled ! 🤪

6km trail run - hot and hilly 🥵

Not much in the tank today but loved this scenic run and being somewhere different.

Thanks to ➡️ for the delicious Pina Colada flavoured rehydration drink. Much needed in this heatwave! They have a sale on (which ends tonight) to tie in with National Hydration day earlier this week.

Hope you are managing not to overheat! 💦 ☀️
