Storm Amy forced a change of plans for this weekend, so instead of heading to the West Highland Way I decided to do a long (and slow) local route. Furthest I've run for 9 weeks and I could tell by the end! #trailrunning

Beautiful day here in Fife, Scotland. Felt great to have a Type 1 fun run, before a full day of DIY. #trailrunning #running

I love the light we get at this time of year. Just wish I had shot this a bit slower and for longer

Thanks Windows, I'll remember to put something warm under my jacket

Chamonix has been everything I'd hoped for, amazing trails and fitness increase without breaking myself. Nice little run in the forest with 508m of ascent. #trailrunning

First (and biggest) run of the holidays, 1281m of ascent. Up to Plan de l'Aiguille, along the Grande Balcony Nord to Montenvers, and back to the campsite. #trailrunning

Well, that was tough going! First ever marathon distance training run, longest run by 8km, biggest overall running week at 76km. It was 664m of ascent and some of the paths were so overgrown that the going was difficult.
Last 10km were hard, had IT band pain on my right knee. #running #trailrunning

Trying to decide what to wear tomorrow, jacket and shorts, full waterproofs or a wetsuit. At least there isn't much wind forecast. #trailrunning

Not the best run ever, tight calves and shins for most of it, just didn't feel smooth. But still managed to do 95% in zone 2, so that's a tick.
It'll be a 54km week by the time I've had a recovery run tomorrow. Still a long way to go before I'm a 50 mile runner!

Well, that was a fun weekend! Short run on Saturday to save my legs for Sunday's Kickboxing grading, pizza from our brick oven on Saturday evening (taking carb loading seriously) then mountain biking with a couple of dads and the kids. #running #kickboxing #pizzaoven #mtb

A break from #trailrunning today, beautiful day for some #wildswimming in upper Eskdale.
We've had an amazing time in the Lake District, cloudless skies every day.

Epic 27km, 1600m ascent run this morning, starting in Eskdale, heading up Scafell, down scrambling and up to Scafell Pike. Over 5hrs on feet.
Tired but nothing feels broken.
The weather could not have been better.

Saturday's #trailrunning plan. A lot of ascent (for me) and a lot of sunshine. It's going to be epic. I am *so* excited for this run.

Heavy legs for the first third, but managed to push through. Felt easier 2 weeks ago.
Progress is not a linear process.
Looking forward to seeing how it feels after a few weeks of doing this route.
