I discovered a new part of Brighton today - the Greenway Walk - and finally saw the Jenny Lind ghost train! I’ve driven past it a billion times but never knew how to get to it until today when I discovered some secret stairs at the side.
It’s only a very short walk but really lovely, green and plush, right in the middle of the city. It’s an abandoned train track so it sits above the city.

The run was a struggle in the heat but I bumped into my lovely - who then tricked me into running some horrible intervals with her (I’d already done 12 miles by this point!!) - bloomin gaslighter 😂
We were both knackered so we bought a coke and found some shade to enjoy it which happened to be under a bridge. Classy.

It was such a gorgeous day and I bumped into loads of people I knew as I made my way home. I stopped for a chat with everyone, made a new friend, (coffee soon please !) and got home about 4 hours after I’d set off but with my heart full. I love runs like that 💗💗💗

Which do you prefer?! 🏃‍♀️

After being away for 2 weeks, I couldn’t resist an evening run back in my favourite place. I’ve always loved the vibe in Brighton - so fun, so chilled, so friendly. It’s got real festival vibes during summer, and I absolutely adore it 💗💗💗

I do love exploring new places on holiday, but a speed session in the heat with the wind was not my favourite! 😆

I reeeeeeally couldn’t be bothered this morning but I knew once I got going I’d feel great, and I did. I’ve never regretted a run, but I have regretted not going for a run.
(I’m sure there’s a catchier way to say that?! 🤔 😂)

Super good fun today. Me and Blue decided to divide and conquer so I took this one to the beach where the waves were HIGH! 🌊
We spent over an hour jumping, splashing and screaming and pretending we were in a survival movie 😆 I haven’t had so much fun in ages. But I’m not joking when I say I got seaweed everywhere 👙

After a lovely lunch and a cocktail we headed home where I assessed the damage and I’m pleased to say there must be no seaweed left in the sea now as it’s all on my bathroom floor 😂

Hill reps today!
I was dreading it in 27 degree heat but I felt wonderful afterwards! Look at that smug face 😂

Back home for a swim and cocktails afterwards🍹

Summer holidays ☀️
I love exploring on a run when I’m away. And it’s so much more relaxed than running a marathon! 😆

Plus the local shop’s ice cream game is elite 👌

I don’t usually post much while I’m on holiday, but in order to keep the algorithm from forgetting me, I’m afraid I’m going to have to holiday spam every day. Apologies in advance!

The low-carb trend is quietly ruining women’s running.

There, I said it!

Every week a runner lands in my DMs doing everything right except one thing: she’s terrified of carbs. Cutting them at night. Earning them with miles. Saving them for race day only.

And every week the same story comes with it. Dead legs. Runs that feel harder than they should. Ravenous evenings. The 3am wake-up. A body that’s stopped changing no matter how hard she works.

Here’s the thing nobody selling you low-carb mentions: carbohydrate is your running fuel. Not a treat. Not a cheat. The actual petrol. Your muscles store it, your long runs drain it, and if you keep refusing to refill the tank, your body doesn’t burn more fat. It just runs worse and fights back with hunger.

Low-carb has its place. That place is not marathon training.

Send this to the running friend who still thinks a banana is a risk.

Eating less than 1,500 calories and running 30 miles a week is why you’re exhausted, not “just perimenopause.”

Yes, hormones are real. Sleep gets weird, recovery slows, energy shifts. I live it too.

But here’s what I see constantly: a runner eating like a sedentary woman on a diet while training like an athlete, and every symptom gets filed under perimenopause. The exhaustion. The 3am wide-awakes. The brain fog. The runs that feel like wading through mud.

Some of that might be hormones. A lot of it is maths. Thirty miles a week burns thousands of calories on top of what your body needs just to keep the lights on. Run that on 1,500 or less and your body starts making cuts. Energy first. Recovery next. Mood shortly after.

The cruel bit is that both problems feel identical from the inside. The only way to know which one you’re dealing with is to fuel properly for a few weeks and see what lifts.

For most of the runners I work with, more lifts than they ever expected.
