Took my mum to HYROX… and she absolutely smashed it!

Scroll through to see how many times she fell over 😅 (she’s fine, promise).

My mum is 61, she runs, strength trains, does her mobility, walks every day, eats well (still loves a Magnum and a glass of wine of course)

She’s got some age-related changes in her meniscus (hence the knee support), but she looks after her body, and it showed at HYROX.

Be like Maggie. Move your body.
 It doesn’t have to be as extreme as HYROX, but if you start now, you’ll feel the benefits before 2026 even starts.

Feeling so grateful to have shared this with her. One of my all-time favourite memories. ❤️

Taking you through my own mid-stage Achilles rehab

Some of you might’ve seen my ‘Silly September’ four races in five weeks.
 The result? An irritated Achilles and a grumpy glute.

I’ve now moved past the initial isometric and pain-control phase and into isotonic loading, so rebuilding strength and control through full movement.

Goal: To rehab an Achilles, you need to deload it first (Stop doing the thing that’s annoying it), then progressively reload it, restoring strength through range and retraining the tendon to produce force quickly and efficiently (so I can run)

My current exercises:
Single leg calf raise on flat ground - 3x15 Single leg eccentric calf raise on a step - 3x10 Seated deficit knee-bent heel raise - 3x15 Calf stretch into heel raise - 3x15 Double leg calf raise on leg press machine - 3x15

I’m doing 2-3 exercises per day, focusing on slow, controlled reps to maximise tendon adaptation. I will progressively make these harder and add load (weight)

Next, I’ll move to energy storage and release work, adding jumping, landing, and plyometrics to train the tendon to handle faster loading rates (essential to get back running).

**These exercises may not be suitable for you. I always recommend having an assessment first and getting personalised rehab for the stage you’re at.

The Boughton Backyard Ultra ✔️
6.7km every hour, on the hour
For 12 hours straight
Total: 82.25km
Pace: 6:57/km

Me + Danielle smashed 7 laps together before I carried on solo into the dark

Hadn’t even recovered from my first trail marathon 2 weeks ago… by Lap 5 my sciatic nerve was kicking off hard

Massive shoutout to Josh for staying the whole 12 hours + putting up with my mood swings 🙃
Nicole, Sarah B, Sarah T, Carole + Sophie - thank you for the cheers 🙌 Special shoutout to Sophie who literally stripped her jeans off in the middle of the field, borrowed trainers + shorts, and ran the last lap with me when I was broken.

Big love to my sis + Duane for the endurance advice, mum for the running genes, dad for the classic “it’s character building” line every time things suck. The Bro for the “well, it’s just one foot in front of the other”.

This one tested EVERYTHING, mental strength, pain tolerance, fueling, and the art of just getting sh*t done.

Also… forests at night? Very dark and scary.

I’m super proud of this one. Resting from “silly runs” for a while now.

2025 Goal Complete ✔️
Scroll to the end for the full results 👀

First marathon in the bag. New Forest, a mix of trail and road, with wild horses and donkeys running alongside.

The last 12km were a pure mental battle. Pain crept in hard, but as my sister said: “the race doesn’t really start until 30km.” She wasn’t wrong.

Still can’t wrap my head around how my mum ran a 3hr marathon… absolutely wild.

On to the next challenge (spoiler: it won’t be another marathon anytime soon).

Big thank you to for running it with me, the tun club for always having my back, Lauren for being head cheerleader, and my family for the endless running wisdom. 💕
