26 things I hadn’t realised about running a marathon

Three weeks to go

Moving the legs again feels SO GOOD! Today I read a brilliant article about how moaning about injuries is actually good for you as it helps you bounce back better. I can’t lie, anyone around me for the past six weeks will have heard my moans, BUT I’m definitely looking after my legs now I’m finally running again. This was my first run back and the next hour was spent tennis balling and foam rolling. Fingers crossed I’ll be building up the miles steadily over the next few weeks, but I’m so so happy to be back 🤞🏼

In other news, these are my current favourites - I won’t go into trainer reviews as I’m no expert, but they are a dream to run in. I was a huge fan of the Ultraboost and the Solarboost is just even better. Thanks @adidasrunning - I’ve not taken these off 👏🏼👌🏼🏃🏼‍♀️💛

Last night’s risotto was simply incredible. This weekend I’ve officially been back in action - running my longest run in forever on Saturday (6.4 easy miles around Battersea) and cycling all the way to Surrey on Sunday (34 miles) it’s safe to say my legs are in bits today, although I’ve still fit in an easy 3.4 miles to work and an @f45_tottenhamcourtroad Bears class this evening. I’m ready for bed now please 😴😴

Whilst I’ve not been running, I’ve been loving my walks to work recently. It’s 3.5 miles, across Chelsea bridge, past Buckingham Palace (yep, I saw the royal baby announcement for the first time ever) and through green park. Tomorrow our office moves, so it will be the last time I take this stroll, but I’ve really enjoyed it, and heard hours of Harry Potter audio books whilst my leg heals. That said, I cannot wait to be running again 🙏🏼🙏🏼

D I N N E R. Another mad week for me running round, well, not actually running thanks to a annoying calf injury. It’s been a month since I ran and it’s really been affecting my mood not getting out there, a real reminder that looking after your mental health and taking some deep breaths as your body recovers is important. As it’s #mentalhealthawarenessweek it seems important to dwell on my own struggles with anorexia and how much running and exercise helped. I no longer see food as something scary, and as much as I have down days, I’m proud of everything my body has achieved. Here’s a somewhat unrelated photo of tonight’s pad Thai, made by my wonderful boyfriend 💛 Happy Thursday everyone

Final post of the day (to prove I do more than take photos of my feet) - this was last weekend’s sunny run before heading to watch all you AMAZING runners who took on the London Marathon in the heat. This weekend is not looking anywhere near as sunny, or as filled with running - tomorrow I’m doing my 10 minute, very slow, rehab run to test the calf muscle, but for now, I’m throwing it back to this lovely 5K with the sun in my eyes 💛☀️
