It’s Saturday, and that means it’s parkrun day ☺️
Another new one for me today at East Park - Wolverhampton 🇬🇧
A 3 lap course around a pleasant park and the glorious sunshine 🌳
Parkrun is simply the best way to start a Saturday 🏃♂️
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Some days, I head out the door with no plan, no target pace and no set distance…
just running for the pure enjoyment of it🏃♂️
This morning was 5 miles squeezed into 45 minutes before getting ready for work, and honestly,
I loved every minute of it.

Tempo runs are where endurance meets speed. 🏃♂️🔥
They help you:
• Run faster for longer
• Build aerobic fitness
• Improve race pace control
• Increase your lactate threshold
• Stronger, mentally & physically
The majority of my runs are slow & steady, so it’s nice to pick up the pace ☺️

Lovely start to the day with a steady 10km run through the beautiful Ironbridge Gorge 🇬🇧
Glad I got out early before the heat kicks in for the day.
Stay hydrated out there folks 👍

This morning I squeezed a Fartlek session into just 30 minutes. After a steady 1-mile warm-up, I used 3 familiar Strava segments for sprint efforts, with recovery in between.
It may only have been 30 mins, but a well-planned session with purpose still delivers a really effective workout!

Running slower makes you faster!
Keep most of your runs at a conversational pace. It feels almost too easy… but that's the point.
You're building the aerobic base that unlocks real speed later.
If you're breathing too hard & can’t talk, slow down.

You can’t beat starting a Sunday morning with some movement and fresh air!
Today was a light 10km trail run through the stunning Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire 🇬🇧 with perfect weather too☀️

Started the day with parkrun at Haughmond Hill in Shropshire, just outside Shrewsbury 🇬🇧
It’s a lovely trail route through woodland with some stunning views, but definitely a hilly one!
No matter the challenge, parkrun is always the perfect way to kick off the weekend 🏃♂️

If you mainly run on the road, it’s worth mixing in some trail runs 🌳
The uneven ground makes your legs work in different ways, stabilising muscles, especially your ankles, calves and glutes.
It also improves your balance & coordination… Become a stronger,runner on the trails 🏃♂️

Today was the Great Birmingham Run 🇬🇧 Half Marathon 🏃♂️
Perfect conditions for running & I just managed to come away with a PB, even with the slightly updated route and the hills in the last mile!
As always, Birmingham was an incredible atmosphere… Brilliant from start to finish.
