Just to show you that in races we all experience those thoughts of quitting or struggle, particularly up a hill. Here is what I would suggest to get through those moments, and stay in the race both physically and emotionally.

In this AMA episode, I answer a question for a runner who has to train at 4:30 or 7:30, but is racing NYC marathon, which starts between 10-11. How do you prepare for that? I give all the options I would consider, and then what I would do in that situation.

Training has gone well these past few weeks, and fitness is starting to come together. I tell you about my progression run (and why I stopped at 1:49 rather than 1:50).

I have a happy smiley baby...except for when the photographer has her camera out ready to catch it...to which a stone faced stare can be seen. I tell you about our photography experience last week, and why I am starting to change my perspective on stroller running

You might think listening to podcasts and music is motivating you on your hard workouts and races, but actually, it really might be damaging you, and you could do a lot better without. I explain my story of getting hooked on listening, and what I noticed when I removed it for my progression long run last weekend.

Ever wondered how things are different in the UK, and what do I like and dislike about being here? I might not go fully into those, but I tell you what I noticed moving to the US and how it affects my relationships being from a different country.

Training for a marathon? Training for any distance over a 5k, you NEED a long run to build your strength and endurance. I give you the 4 ways you can use a long run to prepare for your marathon and what else you must keep in mind as you build up.

I go waaaayy too honest with you about my thoughts with training right now. There is some good, how things are coming along and my fitness is getting there, and some frustrating moments that make me question it all.

I had been feeling a bit hard done by, like I missed working...until suddenly last night my mindset changed. Just another mother runner update for you and some honest thoughts.

Have you ever been really excited and invested into your training for a goal race when all of a sudden, injury (or sickness) strikes and you absolutely panic that your race is gone for good? I understand because I have been here, and here is my pep talk that you are gonna be okay, and you are NOT alone!
