Heather season in the Peak District!! 💜😍 Easily one of the best times of year to run in the Peaks.

4 hours of plodding through some of my favourite areas with a big smile on my face. Definitely a run to remember!

Highly recommend this route if you’re looking for a big day out in the Peak District with stunning views. What a place 🫶🏼

Brecon Beacons 52km ✅🥵My first ultramarathon of 2026 brought the absolute best vibes!!

My favourite part must’ve been the hiking girlies cheering me on while I was running with the boys, and the women I overheard saying “she looks hardcore” to her daughter 😂

Massive shoutout to RunThrough Trails for the gifted entry 🫶🏼 Can’t wait for the next one!

The plan was to take it relatively easy, tune in to how my body responds to the single-day distance and elevation gain increase, test my nutrition (with some new bits), and just enjoy a long day out exploring the hills & mountains.

The Brecon Beacons has definitely jumped up a few places in my ranking of favourite trail running national parks in the UK!

Living for the simple things 🫶🏼🏕️⛰️🌊

Couldn’t resist heading back to the Lake District for another 24-hour camping adventure with a long run around Ullswater 🫶🏼

Less noise, more life.

Wrapped up an epic weekend in the South at the RunThrough Trails South Downs 25km 💛

After already running 45km over the previous two days, I just wanted another fun morning out on the trails while also giving myself a little challenge. Somehow that turned into placing 4th female 😅 The biggest win wasn’t the result however; it was proving to myself that I can still move well on tired legs. It’s a nice confidence boost that I’ll be taking into the rest of my summer adventures.

Huge thanks to RunThrough | Running Events & Community for the race entry! I haven’t actually raced much over the last year, but this summer is looking pretty packed :)

Side note: this was also my first 100km+ week in a long time!! LFG 🤙🏼

24 hours in the Lake District 🌊⛰️⛺️😮‍💨

Buttermere 🫶🏼

Camp & run kinda summer

Sunset paddle

This clip speaks for itself.

The most runnable section of the route… hallelujah

Good vibes only 😎

Boggy & overgrown trails: 3/10
Still better than road running

Ridgeline views 🤌🏼

And breathe… 😌🌅

The essentials 💅🏼🫡

Summit state of mind

Post-run swim: almost got hit by a paraglider who missed the landing target 😅

Mid-run waterfall dip

Might’ve stacked it ⛑️

Mandatory photo on Red Pike ⛰️

Another views for good measure :)
