#cop25 : cleaning up for the world (well, slowly trying to) . . . #tiempodeactuar #timetoact #climatechange

Some people say I'm tall.🦒 . I say lots of people are small. 🐁 . . #tallpeopleproblems #tall #NopeIHadNeverBeenToldBefore 😉 #YesWeatherDifferentUpHere #barbèsrunners #hernehillharriers

Not quite a PB bell but pretty chuffed with 1h19'19 at the Boulogne Half Marathon in Paris today 🏃‍♂️😁. . Been ill for a week and coughed a bucket full of phlegm afterwards, but the conditions were excellent - sunny, cold, no wind ❄️🌞. . Stacked race, only 246th with that time 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️. . (also delighted that the organisers chose a photo of me to send in their results emails so I get a freebie photo so quickly 😂😂) #barbèsrunners

Sundays in France means racing in utterly torrential rain 😤😖😖. #tempsdemerde #missingEnglishSunshine 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️. . 35'51" for first 10k in 10 months. Getting back into it in my new colours! #barbèsrunners #aucarton

Back racing and... back to waffling about it in blog 📝www.80runs.co.uk . ↪️ Good to be back at decent level : 1h21 after almost 6 months without racing 😁🏃‍♂️ . ↪️ Though who knows what time would have actually been without the Vaporfly cheat shoes🤫 🤷‍♂️. ↪️ Great course, stupidly flat and lots of support. bloody windy mind you though clearly not enough to stop the world record 🌪️. ↪️ Major success. Felt good to beat Pete Lighting @lightingpeter . Even if he was barely jogging and only just behind me. I'll take anything I can 💪😂 #copenhagen #copenhagenhalfmarathon #hernehillharriers #hhh (kinda)

Taking parkrun to the next level. Flying off in stupidly expensive shoes and texting... 😏📱🚀 . . . .(or.... Race director duties and keeping log of time. Maybe. ) #parisparkun #parkrunfrance #nike #vaporfly and the rest of attention seeking hashtags below 📷@gwen.blanck

Cold morning runs along the beach with (speedy) aunt and uncle and Pippa. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Beats sleeping right? #zzzzzzz

Looking unusually smart at Lucy and James' wedding 😊

I know I'm quite tall but... I feel like this hotel is taking the piss! 😂 #tall #tallpeopleproblems #fail

Oops. We now have 3 cats. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🐅🐅🐈

Step 1: Go for a bike ride... 🚲 ° ° Step 2: See a stray kitten run across a highway🐈 ° ° Step 3: spend an hour trying to get it out from a car engine (!!)😩 ° ° Step 4: go home with it and wonder if you've committed high treason with current cats... 🐅🐅😠. It's currently in quarantine in our bathroom and most likely going to the animal shelter tomorrow but... it's just so cute! 😻

Two website updates in 4 days, it's a if I wasn't otherwise working 60 hour weeks in my real life!🤪 ° ° ° #batavierenrace review, and how 9 oldies can come 5th against 325 teams of 25 students! (though, after 12 hours, we were 7 seconds slower than in 2018! 🤦‍♂️) #GoImpalas 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️° ° ° Despite the lack of sleep, one destroyed ankle and having to wear a bin made of the thickest stickiest material in the history of humankind, it was probably one of most fun races I've done. As for the finish... Out of this world! 👌👌👌👌 ° ° ° Link in bio www.80runs.co.uk

Took a while but blog is updated with write-up from that little jog last month from Bratislava to Budapest (235km over 6 days). Waaaay too long for most to read but lots of pictures! Link in bio www.80runs.co.uk

#throwbackthursday 9 years ago, first marathon in... 5h09! Almost halved it since (🤙), but it still remains one of my biggest running achievements (as I genuinely wondered if I'd survive it, in a literal sense). And now that I'm currently crooked for a month from stupidly running 200+km in a week, I'm looking forward to my wobbly belly creeping back... 🤰🤕 Ah well, live and learn!

Batavieren relay race (175km). 9 old ringers vs 8,000 students and 325 teams : 5th place in the end 💪👵👴 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉🎊though it probably says more about the level of intoxication of Dutch students than our ability... ° ° no sleep since Friday morning and...I've felt worse. Not sure 3 legs x 7km was best recovery for achilles heel but 🤷‍♂️ ° ° amazing event overall, the finish is out of this world with thousands of (drunk) students cheering you on👏👏
