Steps of Joy and Pain

When was the last time you spent time truly alone amongst people? I don’t think it happens a lot, it certainly hasn’t happened to me for a while.

@maverickrunproject long run days are the best!
Big day out on the Far Eastern fells.

Back to the lakes tomorrow!😍
Training. It’s the hours we put in that no one sees, unless you like to #stravastalk 😜. I kinda gave up posting every run/session a while ago but the work is still going on. 4-5 runs a week, 2 strength sessions, intervals, steady state runs etc. Its not sexy, it’s been mostly in the dark and solo but this is what I need to do. 2 months of training done for @lavaredoultratrail and the build is just getting started. Time to head into the next phase and I am excited for some more sexy runs, not in the dark!🤣
Love, love, love leading these runs!
Just because it looks 😍
When I finished SDW100 in 2021, I said never again to a 100. Then a couple of weeks later, I said never again unless it’s something different🤦🏻‍♂️🤣. Like I have posted about before, doing scary things and saying yes to adventure are my mantras. So today I finally was able to sign up to the @spinerace Challenger South. 108 miles of Pennine way “fun” in January 2024.
