Yesterday was a good day. My family came to #ParkRun and they did great! 💞

I ran it in 30m 51s, (that’s really good for me! 😆).

I had porridge an hour before the race which I think might have t-oat-ally helped… *sorry.

Running has become a way (and analogy) for pushing my boundaries while also getting to know myself better. Today was no different when I ran my first ever 50 km run! Like other parts of work and life, it tried (and managed) to find the right balance between distance and pace! 😅 #runtheworld

By 1952, Czech runner Emil Zátopek was already a great runner.

But when he decided to enter his first marathon in the 1952 Olympics, even his biggest fans thought he had taken things too far.

This is an utterly wonderful film––16 minutes of quiet magic.

King of the Fells: a homage to Joss Naylor, the Lake District shepherd who broke record after record for fell-running, fuelled by Guinness & apples, powered by his seemingly untireable legs & spirit.

King of the Fells: Joss Naylor, the shepherd with an unbeatable running record

Fell running is a demanding endurance sport and Joss Naylor ran with all his heart. Fuelled by apple cake and Guinness, the English sheep farmer broke multiple long-distance running records. He died ...

Family Park Run in Burnley this morning. I always feel quite proud afterwards, like I’ve accomplished something good. Also in awe of all the impressively fast runners and secretly wish I was one of them. 😄🙏

#ParkRun #running #Edurunners #runtheworld #Runsky #morningrun #ukrunners #Lancashire

A large group of runners waiting to start Park Run at Towneley Park in Burnley. A long straight path stretches into the distance in front of them. I am at the back of the group, a familiar race position for me.

An aerial view of the Park Run course at Towneley Park. The shape is like a wonky angular figure of eight. Each lap is 2.5k long so runners go round the course twice to complete the race.

Husband and son enjoying a well earned rest at the cafe after the run. They are sat at the table smiling at each other. My son has a cup of sparkling berry juice which was quite expensive and apparently not even fizzy.

Post-run selfie. I have just finished the race, I do not want to discuss family finishing times that’s not what this is about. 🤪 I don’t notice my husband has photobombed until later. At least I got a shot of us all! 💕
