How much do you love the sun? ☀️. • No filter needed for this shot. I was in such a happy mood walking back along the trails in Wimbledon Common from Physio this morning. Whether that was the sun or the news my knee is improving and I can start adding weight exercises I’m not sure but I was in a nice happy place 😊. • I can’t wait to be running along those trails again, I love running in the warmth & sun, my PB’s from 2017 we’re at Brighton 10k & Hackney Half - I know I’m weird. • For those stressing about London in the heat on Sunday, don’t worry, just be aware of it & if anything slow it down and enjoy the experience, just make sure you drink enough. • Are you a Sun worshipper☀️☀️ or do you prefer a winter wonderland❄️❄️? . . . . . . #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram #_loverunning #runningterritory

A little last minute #medalmonday . • First and last time I ever walk a race, I’m even more determined to recover from this injury, even if it means missing out on a couple more races, full recovery is far more important. • Still in awe of all those that got the big medal yesterday - whether you got what you wanted or not, you’re all amazing! . . . . . #brightonmarathon #brighton #bm10k #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram #_loverunning

10k done. • Managed to get through it and hugged soooo many people that I ended up doing 6.5 Miles. • I’ve got a new profound respect for people that walk any distances, getting to halfway and realising you still have an hour to walk is really tough mentally and really hard when you’re trying not to run. • Glad I got to see some wonderful beauts smashing the marathon @martina_cote @martinrunsmiles @tea_runner @kwmarathoner @derrickgoesrunning @john05john @falidude @lauraplane88 you’re all awesome!. • Well done to everyone else out there smashing it today & thanks to everyone who gave me a cheer & supported! . . . . . . #brightonmarathon #brighton #bm10k #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram #_loverunning @asicsfrontrunner @asicseurope @asics

The plan - walk 6.2miles, get some bling, go cheer the legends doing the marathon!. • So here’s the deal. I can walk, fairly normally, I’m in Brighton, there’s a race I’ve signed up to, physio says I can walk as far as I like as long as there’s zero pain. • I know it’s going to be dire, I know it’s probably not going to be much fun, but it’s something and it’s progress from when I struggled to bend my leg 1 degree three weeks ago! • For the Marathon peeps I’ll be out cheering somewhere around the 14, 17, 24 Mile markers!! . . . . . . #brightonmarathon #brighton #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram #_loverunning

“It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward”. . . . • I’ve now officially deferred my place for #londonmarathon . . Being injured so close to the one race I’ve been looking forward to since November sucks & had hit me hard, but I will get up & keep moving forward, at some point, I’m still on the ropes at the moment. • I have so many other races and events to look forward to this year I can’t let myself dwell on one thing. • @londonmarathon will still be there in 2019. • Thanks for the 📸 @gemma_hockett . . . . . #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram #_loverunning

Ahh this brings back good memories! That was a good weekend! #throwbackthursday . • I broke my 10k PB, cried when I crossed the line, shared a room with 6 other random men, took a sip of a fellow runners pint, sat on the beach and met the gorgeous @redfaced_runner for the first time❤️ (I mean highlight of the weekend or what?). • I’m looking forward to heading back to Brighton this weekend to spend a fortune on the penny pushers on the pier, meet up with some awesome peeps, cheer some even more awesome peeps & maybe do some walking (more on that later). • To those running those 26.2 Miles at @brightonmarathonweekend - good luck, have confidence, believe in yourself, remember the hard work you’ve put in & this is just the victory lap, but most importantly.....YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!. . . . . . #brightonmarathon #BM10k #brightonbeach #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram #_loverunning

3 weeks and counting since my last run. • What a finish line at the @limassolmarathon though. People cheering you over the line one side, the Mediterranean the other. • What a place for me to actually run my first non-stop 10k, but right now I’d be quite happy to run/walk a 10k again! • Blog from the weekend is in the bio. . . . . . . #blogger #newblog #runlimassol #runwithasmile #limassol #limassolmarathon #10k #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram

I try not to make a habit of wearing odd shoes but this time it’s for a good reason. • I got my kit drop of the new @asicseurope #GeckoXT & #GelDSTrainer23 today & initially I was a bit miffed I couldn’t go and test them out. • But if anything it’s spurred me on to get my theraband out, do my exercises from last nights physio and get this knee better and be back running. • My next big goal races are @racetothetower & @racetothestones and the GeckoXT will come in perfect for both those races!. • Thanks @gazzpash @rushbynature for the shoes & the kick up the arse to do my rehab! . . . . . @asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunner #asicsfrontrunneruk #IMoveMe #run #running #runners #ukrunchat #garmin #beatyesterday #igrunners #runshots #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #ultratraining #strava #runnersofinstagram
