Little trail run over lunch today taking in some of a local race route that’s coming up in August Pie & Peas Race and yep you get a pie and mushy peas at the end of the race 🥧 #trailrun #running #lunchrun #ukrunchat #pieandpeas

Attempting a tempo 10k after having tonsillitis and not training for pretty much a week was a terrible idea and I failed miserably 🤦🏻‍♂️ Back at it this week! A right pain how much you can lose in a short period of time! #run #running #10k #temporun

Been carrying out some market research about post run hydration and according to the Statopramen bottle there are zero calories in it. Well at least not advertised on the bottle! I’m now confirming this is my go to post evening run rehydration staple🍻🤣 #stayhydrated

Little 5K blast last night and a hot, hilly, hay fever riddled 10K for todays lunch run ☀️🥵 Summer running is way harder than winter!! #running #run #ukrunchat #hotone #hilltraining

Sunny morning run that was spot on apart from not being able to breath with hay fever!! Blowing by the end of that one! #running #run #ukrunchat #10K #hayfever

Hot muggy runs yesterday and today! Ticking along nicely this week though with a big hill session planned around Peckforton and Beeston tomorrow 🤢🏃🏻 #running #hills #hilltraining #muggy #ukrunchat #onwardsonly

Snuck in a HM late last night and it’s the first time I’ve specifically ran the distance this year and it’s not one I like! Really struggle with fuelling and pacing this distance Probably shouldn’t of ran after a big meal, on tired legs and in new shoes either! #halfmarathon

Sweating out last nights indiscretions 🍷🍷🍷 Hurt way more than it should have but enjoying just running with no intention at the minute. Probably need to get a decent race booked soon though to keep the focus! #run #running #redwine #hungoverrun

Hill training on tired legs today! That’s was graft! Absolutely blowing by the end of it! #hilltraining #running #run #ultratraining #runchat #ukrunchat

Back to back lunch runs over the past two days trying to slowly shake my legs back into life! @RunThroughUK Media City Chase the Sun 10K coming up next on Thursday night 🏃🏻🏅 #run #running #race #10k #lunchruns #chasethesun #runthrough

Local village “Pound the Bounds” trail race today 5th place finish which I’ll take after yesterdays ultra. Legs are well done now though. Hoping for a Radox miracle 🤞🏻 #poundthebounds #radox #neednewlegs #miracle

Superb day running the Sandstone Trail today One of those runs where it’s “I’m never running again, there’s no point doing this shit for fun” to now sat having a pint thinking about the next one!! #sandstonestrail #ultramarathon #ontothenextone #ultrarunning

Busy past week juggling my lads birthday, trail adventures at Manley Mere and a house move but managed to squeeze a couple of runs in with back to back 10Ks the last two days Focus firmly on this weekends Sandstone trail run now #sandstonetrail #manleymere #ultratraining

Nice flat 5K warm up along the canal before hitting some hills in the back 5 on the tarmac Next ultra in 9 days and legs feeling good! Just need to plan the fuelling properly for a route with not much chance to restock #running #ultratraining #ukrunchat #ultrarunning

Such a good weekend at @RatRaceHQ #dirtyweekend Glad I kept composed on the high ones 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 #ratrace #weekend #muddy #notscaredofheightsatall

Superb weekend at @RatRaceHQ Dirty Weekend followed up with a 6K shake out this morning Focus now turns to Sandstone Trail 35miler in two weeks time! #dirtyweekend #ratrace #sandstonetrail #ultra #running #ukrunchat

5K yesterday that for some reason felt way harder than todays 10 🤷🏻‍♂️ Myzone stats don’t back this up but defo felt more strained. Just one of those days! Crap food, not in the mood and generally not being arsed prob didn’t help! #run #running #lunchrun #craprun #onwardsonly

Really busy couple of days but ticking along nicely before the weekends race Nice back to back 5Ks yesterday with my fury friends as well! 3 days until Dirty Weekend 20M obstacle race and 2 weeks until Sandstone Trail 35miler Hills tonight! #ultratraining #dirtyweekend

Lunch time run out along the cable with the dogs Nice and steady the next week with the focus firmly on next weekends @RatRaceHQ Dirty Weekend 20 mile obstacle race #dirtyweekend #ratrace #obstaclerace #run #running #ukrunchat
