The Endure24 Debrief😮‍💨
You gotta get yourself locked in for this one🔒

Honestly, I’d hoped for a bit more prep going into this event. In reality, I did the bare minimum. A lapped night trail run and the weekend before I matched the mileage I thought I’d be doing across the event with a 15 and 10 miler. That was enough to convince me I could handle the original plan.

The day before we left, we found out we’d be a man down😢 As a team we talked through our options, including stopping overnight. Part of me knew I could probably take on a longer stint than planned, so mentally I locked in for 15 miles. Beyond that, I had absolutely no idea.

Up until now, I’ve only ever run/walked one marathon (virtual London during lockdown 2020) and if I’m honest, I didn’t really train for that either. Other than that, my biggest milage week has only ever been 35 miles… Also back in 2020.

More recently, training hasn’t exactly been mileage-heavy either. Since Berlin Half I’ve been trying to navigate a ni**le so preparation has been far from ideal.

Quite honestly, I didn’t know what I was capable of but I was confident I could run the planned 25 miles.

The broken 25 miles came and went, surprisingly comfortably. I felt like I had 1 more lap in me, even though I was a bit nervous about how it would end. I was starting to feel sick but I was pretty sure that was sleep deprivation more than anything else.

So I put my headphones on and kept moving. Much to my surprise, I still felt strong.

Then the final lap came around. I was sore but still moving. The seed was planted that I might not have time for one more lap… But two👀

My immediate thoughts?
💭 Don’t be so stupid.
💭 There is no need to be greedy.
💭 You’re already leaving with more than you came with, quit whilst you’re ahead.

But there was also a small part of me that believed I could do it and I didn’t want to finish the weekend without thinking “what if?”

So the decision was made.

Did it hurt? Of course.
Would I do it again? Ask me again when I’ve caught up on some more sleep.

I’m grateful. My heart is full.

ENDURE24💜 I honestly don’t even know where to start with unpacking this experience… Perhaps I’ll start with the car because I’ve still not bothered with that since I arrived home yesterday🫠😅

I’ll do a proper debrief later in the week once I’ve had a chance to gather my thoughts (and catch-up on sleep) but for now, all I want to say is thank you🥹

Firstly, thank you to my amazing teammates who were there every step of the way, running lap after lap and yet still being there to support me when I needed them. I’m so proud of you all🥰

Secondly, thank you to my amazing support network who were blowing up my inbox at every opportunity to check in to make sure I was doing okay and raising me up when I needed it most✨

This weekend challenged me in more ways than I expected but it also reminded me just how lucky I am to have such incredible people around me🫶🏽

For now, I’m running on very little sleep and a whole lot of gratitude🥹 More thoughts (and a phat photo dump) to come soon✌🏽

Loveee xx

NOTE TO SELF: when does it ever go to plannnn✌🏽 Training update about 3 months overdue but it’s been a bit of a journey so you’re gonna have to lock in for this one.

Leading into Berlin Half I was managing some shin pain that just sat in that frustrating middle ground, not getting worse, not getting better. Post-race I tried to be sensible: reduce running volume, build strength and sort it properly.

It changed absolutely nothing.
Hair was lost, expletives were shared at the frustration of “I’m doing all the right things and NOTHING is working”…

After seeking some advice from my trustworthy second pair of eyes, it turns out I’d probably been looking at the wrong problem entirely. Which would explain a few things🙃

A few more expletives later, training has been flipped on its head, AGAIN. Less intensity, higher volume and spending more time in the gym doing the right things, rather than the wrong things.

Pain is finally reducing, training is building again, we move... It’s not perfect timing with races coming up but better late than never aye😮‍💨

Also… Race week incoming sorry what👀

ANY FINAL GUESSES?👀

No? Don’t worry, I got you👇🏽
I’m joining the ambassador team for the rest of 2026 and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited.

I’ve got some pretty big goals I’m chasing this year and I know I’m not getting there without sorting my fuelling out properly…

Although I hate to admit it, I’m a fussy gal. Fussy with taste, fussy with texture, which has always made gels a challenge for me, so historically, I’ve never really used them!

Voom products were recommended to me in the lead-up to Berlin and they’ve genuinely changed the way I train and race, for the better🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

If you want to give them a go, you have a few options:
⚡️ FREE taster pack: DANI
⚡️ 12% off at checkout: DANI12

Enjoy🤠

I didn’t know my last drink would be my last and now I’m celebrating 2 years alcohol free🥂

I told myself I was only going to drink on “special occasions”… But really, I was just over it. Over needing a drink to socialise or fit in. Over losing a whole day to a hangover. Over the low mood that followed for days after.

Plus, I was never a “just one” kinda person, it always felt all or nothing and I didn’t like that.

So I started choosing not to drink. Nothing dramatic, just one situation at a time and it started to feel really good. Every time I said no, I felt less awkward about it and more confident, more free…

Then a year passed… and now it’s been 2🤍

I’ve thought about drinking, of course. BUT, every time I didn’t, I woke up relieved and that feeling never gets old.

Berlin Half Marathon || Race Report🇩🇪

I stood on the start line just grateful the 1:45 pacers were in the pen in front… because otherwise I genuinely thought I might be biting off more than I could chew.

Naturally, I then spent the final few minutes googling “average pace for 1:45 half marathon” and stalking my Feb 10k (7:58min/mile average) on Strava to remind myself how hard that pace felt💁🏽‍♀️

First mile? Chaos.
Energy was unreal, looked at my watch and thought “you need to slow down.”

Did I? No. It ended up being my slowest mile😅

Ran my fastest 5K in a very long time, felt strong, energy from the crowd was UNMATCHED.

By mile 6 I was still feeling good (suspicious) and by mile 7–8 I caught up with the 1:45 pacer who was bringing elite energy.

Then… miles 9–10. Hello wall. We meet again, I knew you’d be here😘

Pace dipped just over the 8s for a couple of miles, legs felt heavy and I knew I was in for a tough finish.

And that last 1km? The longest km I’ve ever run. You can literally SEE the finish and I swear I couldn’t go any faster if I tried. Usually I have something left at the end, yeah… Not this time.

Cooked? Honey I was burnt😂

Crossed the line and honestly I’ve never felt emotion like that at the end of a race. I think everything it took to get back here, from breaking my foot in Dec ‘24 to slowly rebuilding and finally getting that piece of me back… just hit me all at once🥲

This one meant more than I can put into words🖤💛❤️
