How did I pull that off?!
3.13.55 & a 6 min PB at the England Marathon Masters 👊
Hard work, dedication, pure grit & a fantastic coach @runningjo10k 🙌
At 56 I’m still improving my times & I hope I can inspire some of you “oldies” out there!

In awe of @SamRidleyy - 59 years old and she has just smashed the @centurionrunner South Downs 50 in 9:22 and won her 50-59 age group. Here’s to super speedy 50 plus women 👏👏👏👏 (she’s also @Susie__Chan cousin - in the genes!)

6 years ago today! @tokyo42195_org I want to do it again. Amazing marathon ❤️
It was bucketing down yesterday at the Sussex XC County Champs, proper XC conditions with lots of sloppy mud! This was the hard core ladies team that braved it out 💪

To all you injured runners out there,
this 👇 so true!!! – at South East, England
Hard to believe that was only just over 18months ago and testament to commitment, self belief but also patience to just build up gradually. Not to mention a phenomenal dedication to rehab. As a coach I have to plug that one - do your physio exercises! They really do work 😉

This is my cousin @SamRidleyy We met as for 1st time as adults & ran Boston Marathon together.
She just ran a 6 min Mara PB - coming in at an amazing 3:13! She won’t mind me saying she’s 56 ..& SUCH an inspiration to me. 💜🤩Age ain’t no thing, It’s all about the attitude! 😊🙌🏼
Might have had something to do with you! 😉 – at York, England

There’s lots of ways to predict your marathon time. Here’s how I do it based on a mix of experience as an athlete & coach, knowledge of training principles, practical insight into how training translates into races & a little bit of gut feeling! runningjo.co.uk/how-to-predi…
Goodwood 20 mile race, run as training run. 5 miles easy, 10 miles GMP, 5 miles easy. Hit my target pace, but can I manage it for 26 miles? We’ll see! Now for the taper #marathontraining
When a surprise card drops through your letterbox! Praise indeed from my coach ☺️ thanks @runningjo10k for helping me achieve my goals!
