I’m guilty of this too.

Sometimes we’re right there with our kids, but our attention is somewhere else.

The food can wait. The phone can wait. The little moments can’t.

A reminder for me, and maybe for someone else too: be present while they still want us this close. ❤️

[ad]I think doomscrolling has probably ruined more of my runs than the actual running has 😂

I can be tired ALL day… then somehow get into bed and find the energy to watch 37 videos about absolutely nothing.

This 10K training has made me realise how much sleep, recovery and just switching off properly actually affect how I feel the next day.

And annoyingly, the simple stuff really does make a difference.

Still working on the “one more video” lie though 😭

Vitality London 10,000 is getting very close now 👀

Tell me your worst bedtime habit because I know I’m not alone 😂

AD. Funny how 8 weeks of training can make you fitter… and somehow more nervous at the same time 😂

Some runs have had me thinking “yeahhh I’ve got this” and others have very quickly brought me back down to earth 😭

But I’m still here, still showing up, and with race day getting very real now, I think it’s time to stop asking “have I done enough?” and actually trust what I’ve done.

Anyone else start doubting themselves right before the thing they’ve been working towards? 😂

ad. 7 weeks into training for my first Vitality 10K and I’m realising the running is only half the challenge 😂

This week I’ve been paying a lot more attention to hydration and, apparently, I’ve had a few things wrong this whole time.

Still learning, still figuring it out, but definitely starting to notice how much the little things can change how a run feels.

Another week down. Race day is getting VERY real now 👀

Week 6 and somehow my biggest motivators have become my little training partners 😂

Took the boys, 6 & 7, down to the track for their first ever 1 mile run and they absolutely smashed it. A stitch, a quick water break and a few complaints later… under 15 minutes 👏🏽

Genuinely so proud of them.

Funny how this challenge started with me trying to motivate myself to get to 10K, and now it’s rubbing off on them too.

Next up for the boys… Westminster Mile 👀🏃🏽‍♂️

I’m starting to realise I don’t actually run for the running.

I wasn’t really in the mood and halfway through I was questioning why I even came out.

But weirdly… those are always the runs I seem to need the most.

Life’s been FULL lately. Work, four boys home for the summer, training for this 10K… there’s always something going on.

And I’m starting to realise running gives me that little bit of time where my head just goes quiet.

Didn’t feel great during it.

Felt 10x better after it.

5 weeks down. 5 to go 👀🏃🏾‍♂️

We’re halfway.

ad. Turns out training isn’t just about pushing harder… sometimes you’ve got to slow down too 🥶

This week is all about recovery and I’m learning just how important that side of training is.

Between the runs, dad life and everything in between, giving my body time to reset is becoming just as important as getting the miles in.

Although I’m still questioning why I chose THIS way to recover 😂🧊

Another week closer to the Vitality London 10,000 🏃🏾‍♂️💪🏾
