🧘🏿‍♂️

This quote was really needed today.

Yesterday I was absolutely gutted 😿 as in I just blew up at mile 9 and felt I couldn’t continue despite fuelling spot on and going out conservatively and building the pace up just as I always try to do.

I tried my best to continue but i just couldn’t.

It affected me mentally for all this time afterwards as well. I love this Sport 🏃‍♂️ and anyone who knows me knows I take it so seriously and obsessed and it’s an addiction and how much I love it.

But I’ve realised now that for too long I have been putting WAY too much emphasis on worrying about the end goal 🥅 and almost being TOO DESPERATE and OBSESSED to want to try to always PB and being PB obsessed and it being the be all and end all.

Yesterday it just wasn’t meant to be and it was just meant to be a bad day yesterday but in the past I’ve had what I thought were “Off days” but still come in with a 2:56, 3:01 or 3:12 and not appreciated them as much as I should have. And then just because yesterday was THAT sh*tty I just let it ruin the rest of my wknd and still not over it.

So it’s made me appreciate that from now on I should enjoy and celebrate the good days and performances even when/if I don’t PB and just enjoy the process and just enjoy it for the enjoyment and just let the end goal take care of itself without entertaining thinking about it or putting any extra pressure on myself. I’m very good under pressure and I love it but constant needless stress and pressure on yourself constantly obsessing over PB’s doesn’t help. Marathon blocks and races are tough enough already.

Just need to change my approach and just purely enjoy it all and enjoy the hard work and just enjoy it all and then what’s meant to be will take care of themselves. When they are meant to be the PB’s will take care of themselves.

So onwards and upwards and as I’m still relatively fresh, I will be on the start line for Leeds Marathon in 3 weeks now and bounce back straight away before taking a well deserved 4 month off season before the Valencia block starts 😂.

Can’t Wait!

A VERY RARE bad day yesterday but onwards and upwards now!

Very happy with 2:15:40 today with it coming near the end of the block and only three weeks out from the marathon compared to six weeks out the last time I completed it three years ago when I was a lot fresher.

So delighted with that today on tired 😪 😴 🥱 🦵 s plus the mental 💨 and ☔️ and the nearly 700ft undulation 💪.

Obviously come the BIG day I’ll be 💯 fresh and fully tapered etc.

Feeling in amazing 😻 shape and can definitely feel the next marathon PB coming 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞.

When I first saw coach had put 92kg for the last 2️⃣ sets for RDL’s I 💭 “she’s off her head”.

But I told myself I don’t care 🤷‍♂️ I’m going to make sure I do it.

I may only be 60kg……….. mindset is most of it.

Weather 🌦️ report said the wind was only 11 mph 💨 but pretty sure it was even stronger than that or maybe 🤔 felt worse with the added drizzle as well etc.

Deliberately and sensibly took it a little easier for the first 6.5 miles and built in to it mile by mile and tried to negative split to replicate my normal strategy etc.

But after the turn at mile 7.5 even with the wind at my back didn’t quite have PB 🦵 today but still delighted with the days work in those conditions.

With any PB obvs being the aim at least in Vienna (although privately we have higher lofty ambitions as we feel it’s possible), to be doing a 1:22:43 in those conditions today without being fully tapered doesnt half give me a lot of confidence that hopefully I might not only smash 💥 a new PB in Vienna but maybe a massive one too.

Few more weeks of purely training again now. Then……..

Next 🆙 🔜 San Domenico 20

#ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜᴍᴏɴᴅᴀʏ

This week is a very important Monday message. It is and the theme this year is community.

The above is a chorizo, spring 🧅 and lots of cheese 🏠 made recipe which will drop here 🔜.

But the message today is this……

I personally have no idea what it could possibly be like to have an eating disorder and everyone and anyone who knows me knows that I can eat for the 🇬🇧❤️ .

But one thing I do know is that eating disorders are a mental illness and those who suffer often cannot get past what they think or are perhaps oblivious to the damage that they are doing to themselves but I know lots of sufferers can’t help it.

Community and surrounding yourself with the right people and confiding in people and asking for help in general is so so so important.

Because one thing I can say and do know is that eating a and just eating well and ensuring you are getting all your vital aspects of the diet spectrum that you need are SO vital not just for general health but even sporting and athletic elite performance.

So for any of you suffering please don’t be afraid to talk to those closest to you, a confidante, someone in general that you trust or even don’t be afraid to reach out to me or DM me if you want it kept confidential and private and don’t be afraid to seek help.
