Huge good luck to everyone running London marathon today. 🌟

I now know first hand how many obstacles a person faces when running a marathon, both physically & mentally. Not just during the race either, but also during the months of training. A marathon distance is a huge acheivement so chin up and be proud of yourself.
If you are in London head down and show your support. 📣

First run back after one full week of recovery from Brighton Marathon ✅

💆🏻‍♀️I gave myself plenty of time to rest & recover from the stresses a marathon puts on the body & today I went for a nice easy 30 minutes. The weather was perfect for a run and it was nice not having to put a time, distance or speed on it.

Now, what should my next challenge be…

🏃🏻‍♀️Brighton marathon done ✅

☀️I definitely under estimated how tough it would be. The first half was full of hills, there wasn’t any hiding from the sun and at around 20k I got the worst stitch that just refused to leave me alone.

😡Getting to mile 20 running around an industrial estate for 3miles with no crowds, seeing people collapsing from heat & exhaustion and then my ear phones running out of charge was mentally challenging

🏁The finish line seemed to get further and further away & in the end I found out it was! so I actually ran 26.5miles, may as well call that an ultra 💁🏻‍♀️

But the main thing is I finished and I am so incredibly proud of my achievement and everyone else’s yesterday. Thank you to for keeping me going throughout my training and for cheering me on yesterday & for building my strength in the lead up.

💕Also massive thank you to everyone who sponsored me & donated to I was so pleased to have been able to support this amazing charity in some small way

🧘🏻‍♀️Now to relax for the rest of the week with my feet up!!

➡️What is HIIT training?
HIIT training is an amazing style of exercise that involves training at a high intensity for a short period of time, resting, and then jumping straight back into the exercise again.

⚠️However there are risks involved. Some of the main ones I see is poor form, which can increase the risk of injury, along with over training which puts added stress on the body.

🌟HIIT training should complement your workout routine ensuring other areas such as strength training, mobility, good nutrition & sleep hygiene are considered

✅Check out my latest blog post to read more and also find out some of my favourite HIIT exercises - link in bio
