‘Profiting’ from the last of the 🍂 ☀️ ‘Profiting’ from the last of the 🍂 ☀️ Dont worry it’s due to p*ss it down again next week 😃 I’m finding a strange peace and headspace on these weighted hikes that I don’t get so much when running… Hope the DOMS is a little less aggressive than after the hike on Sunday…🍑 #hiking #themontanespinerace #therealyellowjersey #ultrarunning #autumntrails🍁 #ultramum
Just me and my mates….ticking off the days, soak Just me and my mates….ticking off the days, soaking in the miles, trying to keep everyone alive and happy 😃 I’m pushing the ✉️ hard…but we never know what we can achieve unless we take that leap Trying really hard to set my kids an example of hard work, dedication, grit and resilience whilst at the same time showing up for endless taxi journeys, meal cooking, laundry folding, bathroom cleaning. Funnily enough they are all interrelated…the planning, the energy output, the need to say no let’s stop and rest. 👀 on the prize #therealyellowjersey #ultramum #thespinerace #tiredtiredtired #lovemorzine #longrunfriday #hardworkpaysoff💪

🥈 @asics_saintelyon over the 156km 5000m lyonsa 🥈 @asics_saintelyon over the 156km 5000m lyonsaintelyon race. A race where I learnt so much about myself, my ability as an athlete, my motivation, my relationship with my husband..I truly truly had to go deep inside my ❤ on the return leg where we battled ❄, 🧊 and freezing 🥶 wind through the long dark night. My athletic performance on the return leg was way below the way I know I can run, but the strength I held throughout where others were failing, the ability to shut up the monkey, all the what ifs, all the noise which was desperate to surface from my soul, I just shut it down and kept moving and kept believing in myself. I understand more and more as I continue my ultra journey that the hours and hours you spend training are often not reaped physically but mentally when the going gets tough. When you are stripped bare and there is nothing left in the body, you have to reach so deep into your ❤ and last weekend when I faced that moment I truly felt the strongest I have ever felt. The support of others, especially my husband @morzless5 and coach @jonalbon, the 100s of tough sessions I did solo up the same track whilst no one watched. The planning, the sacrifices, every dumbell lifted and muscle pummeled, every day turning up for training when it would be so easy to stop. When it was all hard and what was the point anyway? The weekend showed me the point. It showed me that though I am hurtling past 40, have 3 👨‍🦰🧑‍🦰👩‍🦰 and a busy mad life I can still achieve huge athletic endeavours. I still have the determination, the belief and drive. I truly believe that those little people waiting at home, tracking their mum, seeing their dad supporting and encouraging their mum it will have changed their life path, the way they handle their dreams, goals and relationships. Though I was so alone out there at times last weekend, I never felt alone, I could feel their ❤ driving me home. I could feel their belief. That was for our family and what we stand for. Strength, courage, belief and a sprinkle of the crazy! Go out there and see what you can do....we believe in you....❤❤❤❤ #ultrarunning #ultrarunningmum #therealyellowjersey #chiacharge #recovery #
⚖ The balance...an unrealistic ideal we are alwa ⚖ The balance...an unrealistic ideal we are always to trying to aim towards. We want everything and we want it now. A healthy family, a flourishing career, athletic endeavours that motivate and ✅ the boxes that all of the above constantly strives to take away. A 🏡 that's clean, tidy, a laundry basket that constantly isn't splurging it's contents on the floor that needs a hoover. An inbox that needs attention (take that as you like! 😉), what's apps that never get replied to, birthdays forgotten or late, the homework, the activities, the endless need to be somewhere else and be doing something else. Feck it hurts to just type it. Add to that a training programme which is relentless, takes grit, determination and believe to batter through day in day out. How do I do it all? I don't. No one does. Don't believe the gram. I shout, I cry, I lose my s**t with the little darlins when I shouldn't. I stay up late working till my eyeballs bleed, I push the hoover round on rest days or if someone is coming over, I eat microwaved rice out of a packet. I live on tea. I go to 🛌 so exhausted every night. But I truly believe I am living life. I am truly feeling all the highs and lows of parenting, training and just surviving. I am showing the kids that it's OK to not be perfect, that ❤, a fire lit, a hot meal and a hug at the end of the day is more important than anything else. Here's to exhaustion, heres to parenting, to trying your best, to falling but getting up. To the messy side of life which I feel we don't share enough, mainly as we don't have time! 📸 by husband where I had literally ran myself to total exhaustion and he had had to dress me post race. Standard practice (post race not post normal days- I can dress myself!!) #ultrarunninglife #ultrarunning #ultrarunningmum #parenting #therealyellowjersey
thanks so much @ultrarundmc for the recommendation thanks so much @ultrarundmc for the recommendation totally 💛 my new @montaneofficial ne spine jacket ...testing testing testing out all my kit ready to run through the night in probably some very 🥶 and 🌨 temperatures...also 💛 the colour, easy for husband to spot me running into check points, throw me some gels and knowing him a few choice words of love, but total lack of sympathy, encouragement 😀 .

As I really embrace my 40s I have noticed a few th As I really embrace my 40s I have noticed a few things I feel it's important to share because then you can all comment and say you feel the same way! 😊 ✅ I am always always tired however early I go to 🛌 ✅ It takes me longer and longer to warm up ✅ It takes me longer and longer to recover ✅ I can't go out late and by late I mean past 9pm ✅ I have no time or patience for unpositive or unmotivated people or people who take ages to pack their shopping in carrefour (not the 👵🏻 they can take as long as they like) ✅ I can't sniff 🥂 without a hangover Having whined to myself yesterday during a 1km rep session (which I remember smashing out in my 20s and heading straight to the pub..and now takes 2 days carefully managed recovery to feel normal again 😀) I reminded myself that feeling all these feelings, getting older, getting wiser (read just getting more impatient) is a privilege. I am so lucky to feel these aches and pains, to still be able to train like I'm 21 (with a few adaptations...like gripping the handrail down the stairs in the morning!) , to feel exhausted from training, to still be pushing my limits and still believe that though my fast days may be behind me I still have many adventures ahead. 5 weeks to go till my 100 miler and though I may be feeling the training, the 🔥 burns bright and the 3 little pairs of 👀 watching their mum never stop motivating these 👩‍🦳🦵🦵 #letsdothis #getting stronger 💪 #olderathlete #ultra women #mumsthatrun #strongat40 #ultrarunning #runtothehills #therealyellowjersey

For me all those winter hard metres 🎿 , bleary eyed morning runs, late night pilates classes (thanks @georgiekennington ❤) lonely zwift sessions and bleeding eyeball hill reps 🤣 thank you to my lovely friends who took care of the 👱🧑👩and 🐕 @helen.lavender @helenclairecunliffe and @amybez And the biggest thank you to my amazing husband, who spent the whole weekend chasing me around the @montagnes_du_jura. Giving me just the perfect amount of encouragement and talking to...I could see he believed I could do it and all I had to do was believe. So I did. Never give up kids, the best is yet to come 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 #therealyellowjersey #centurionrunning #ultrarunninglife #ultrarunning #mumswhorun🏃 #notoverthehillyet

Eyes on the prize for the next few months....@ut_m Eyes on the prize for the next few months....@ut_montagnes_du_jura first then @asics_saintelyon BIG ONE....paved my way out towards @utmbmontblanc 2022 with the help of the amazing @jonalbon who not only inspires me in his words and encouragement, but also in his training and racing. I've told him I'm going 'ALL IN' for the next few months and to treat me as so...I repeated this like a broken record on my 4hr run on Friday when I was hot, bothered, tired and sore....ALL IN EDDIE ALL IN!! Now I'm looking at next week's training slightly scared about putting this all together as well as the 👱🧒👱‍♀️ and work....but you never know what you capable of until you truly commit to something so let's see what I can do.... ALL IN TEAM ALL IN. #lovemorzine #chiacharge #runtothehills #therealyellowjersey #utmb2022 #gohardorgohome #allin #ultrarunning #ultrarunningmum #ultrawomen
