So happy to be running again after 6 weeks due to travel and illness. Back to run/ walk intervals until shin splint injury resolved. Love being out in cold weather. #runsky #shinsplintrecovery #rookierunner

A fantastic run. Love the very cold and sunny weather. Perfect conditions. Runner’s high kicked in. Was feeling relaxed though now I’m watching budget, this feeling is quickly disappearing 😕 #runsky #shinsplintrecovery #rookierunner

Last recovery interval run of the week, felt so great mentally and physically. Slightly faster and no shin pain 🥳 #runsky #rookierunner #shinsplintrecovery

Really enjoyed my run/ walk session today. Shins are ok, a wee bit tight but pain level under 2. It is amazing how much faster I ran 4km with intervals than when I used to only run 🤔. #shinsplintrecovery #rookierunner #runsky

Started increasing my running intervals in my road to recovery. Really didn’t want to go out as it’s freezing but, I’m glad I did. Had a great run, enjoyed the very crisp air. #rookierunner #runsky #shinsplintrecovery 🙌🏼🏃🏽‍♀️

After a week traveling & a week with a bad cold, today’s interval run was fun, really felt strong. I love running in Autumn 🍂 Can still feel a tightness in my shin, but that’s less than a 1 pain level #runsky #rookierunner #shinsplintrecovery

Finally, physio is allowing me to run a tiny bit! Very small intervals for now while recovering from shin splints 🤗 only 8min run/ 12min walk but feels good after 5 weeks. I’m a DNS for this weekend’s 10k Monsal Trail run though 😭 #runsky #rookierunner

Lovely recovery run today after a slightly overzealous long run last Saturday 😬 trying to keep consistent this week without doing too much. 7k #laParisienne is on Sunday. Excited and nervous 🤗 #rookierunner #runsky

Great run today! I loved running in the rain and stepping in the puddles 🤗 felt much stronger today and looking forward to my long run on Saturday. #rookierunner #runsky

Today’s run was tough ☹️ shin is hurting and I move as if I’d never ran before. So frustrating after building consistency and improving significantly. It feels like a major setback less than 2 weeks before 7k race in Paris 😭 #rookierunner #runsky

Painful sluggish run today ☹️ possibly hadn’t recovered from trail run. Legs felt sore and heavy. Got it done anyhow 🙂 #rookierunner #runsky

Last run in Devon. Love the narrow lanes bordered by huge trees and the scent after this mornings rain. A bit challenging with uneven ground, rocks and horse poop! #rookierunner #trailrunning #runsky

Monday morning run on the sea wall in Devon with my son 🥰 Absolutely glorious 🤩 #rookierunner #runsky

This week’s long run was a full trail run. Absolutely loved it! There is something magical about running through a forest. Snail pace but who cares! My husband walked fast behind to make sure I wouldn’t get lost 🥰 #rookierunner #runsky

Wonderful short pre- 9am run on the sea wall in Devon. Very energising 🤩 #rookierunner #runsky

Had to wait late afternoon for my run and had no motivation. Thanks to my dear hubby, I got out (he walks and I run) and I’m so glad I did. Really enjoyed the run and felt strong 💪🏼 despite the heat. Only 4 weeks to #laparisienne 7k 🤗 #rookierunner #runsky

Good run despite the heat today. I’ve a question for more experienced runners - and Garmin users-. I’ve had ‘unbalanced’ HRV for the past few days but don’t feel fatigued. I would have thought that it was a good thing as I get fitter no? Anybody can explain? #rookierunner #runsky

Great run with some hills and mud, absolutely enjoyed it and felt strong, even a bit faster than usual 🤩 #rookierunner #runsky

Enjoyed my morning run. Snail pace but I’m pleased with the consistency I’ve build over the last couple of months. 5 weeks to the 7k race in Paris 🤗 #LaParisienne #runsky #rookierunner

Great run this morning, I felt strong and full of energy, mixing trail, gravel & tarmac. So pleased after the bad session on Thursday. 🤩 #rookierunner #runsky

Today’s run was a struggle. Didn’t eat enough today and probably low sugar levels. Note to self: do not go for a run after a long stressful day working. Still glad I went out 🙂 #rookierunner #runsky

Loved today’s run. Definitely seems easier running with an empty stomach, late morning. I have to admit I get lots of motivation from people posting about their runs on Bluesky 🙂 #rookierunner #runsky

First run after a week travelling and absolutely loved it! Garmin had announced I was in detraining yesterday 😳, really didn’t like that! Back to productive 🤩 #rookierunner #runsky

Last run for a week as I’m travelling abroad. Thoroughly enjoyed it and felt so good. Love it when runner’s high kicks in 🤩 #runsky #rookierunner

Loved running in this much cooler weather. Let’s hope it stays that way. #runsky #rookierunner

Another early morning run 🏃🏽‍♀️Surprised myself once again as I was out before 7! Nice & cool. A few observations; it seems easier running with an empty stomach (too early to eat for me), I saw teenagers out running 😳 (in my days, we slept late), people were very smiley. #rookierunner #runsky

Lunchtime run. Glad I delayed my run from yesterday to a cooler day. Snail pace but really enjoyed it 🤩 #running #rookierunner

Another morning run. Really very hot already at 9. Glad I managed this, probably running high on the excitement of the Linkin Park gig tonight 🤗🤗🤗 #Rookierunner

Running in the evening is great to disconnect from the world and avoid the hotter hours, but I felt so sluggish & Garmin is so bossy! Still glad I went out after a stressful day. #rookierunner

Pre 8am run! Seemed like the only way to get a run despite the heat. Really enjoyed 🤩 and looking forward to my rowing session later. #activesunday #running #rookierunner
