HUGE well done Crystal Palace - got regular video updates from my other half in the stadium at Leipzig whilst I'm back here listening to BBC5Live commentary! What a night for Palace fans!

The gentle chit chat of runners and a gentle amble at Greenwich up to the red assembly area... and so it begins #LondonMarathon #raceday #LM26 #weruntogether

Lovely day for a seaside parkrun if a bit windy on the way out! 💨🏃🏻‍♀️ And a result - new parkrun PB of 21:10 🤩! Not bad given I'm deep in #LondonMarathon training! Big field of 628 runners at Worthing, 68th place, 6th female in & 1st in age cat!! #loveparkrun #running #UKrunchat #Worthing

Another parkrun in the bag. Chilly but thankfully sunny on the south coast ☀️. Big field of 678 runners. Not quite a PB with 21:49 but did get 4th female in & 1st in age cat so happy with that! 🏃🏻‍♀️😎 #loveparkrun #runchat #ukrunchat #SaturdayMotivation

I don't know what it is about a blue sky & French Riviera sunshine that really helps when you're running but... #running #Nice #ukrunchat ☀️☀️

...And results are in for Brighton's Christmas Day Preston Park parkrun! A HUGE turnout with 1475 runners. Not to mention a tad chilly 🥶Despite a mad busy start, managed 23:07 - 203rd place, 23rd female in + 1st in age cat 🏆🤩🏃🏻‍♀️ #loveparkrun #ukrunchat #PrestonPark #running #brightonparkrun #PPparkrun

What does a train load of hobbling, hungry runners post Nice to Cannes marathon not need on the way home? Their train to break down that's what...! 😩😩 #NiceCannesMarathon #sncf

Bonjour Nice - here we are finally. The training has been long, and hard but I hope to see you soon Cannes! 🇫🇷 #NiceCannesMarathon #raceday #marathon #running

Early morning in Nice and the walk down to the marathon start begins ... #NiceCannesMarathon #raceday #marathon #running #ukrunchat

And they're off! Brighton Phoenix 10k tonight and plenty of super speedy club runners on the south coast. Managed to spot myself already knowing it's going to be a slog! 😬🏃🏻‍♀️ #Phoenix10k #Brighton #running #ukrunchat #raceday

And they're off at Worthing parkrun... come on, we know it's one of the best! Look at this sunshine ☀️😎🏃🏻‍♀️ #loveparkrun #parkrun #worthing #running #ukrunchat

And they're off! Watching the Worthing RUN-FEST half marathoners set off at 0930 this morning (before doing the 10k!)... quite a warm one 🥵 #HalfMarathon #WorthingRunFest #running #ukrunchat #raceday #runner

You can feel the quiet anticipation. Early morning 0700 arrival to find the bag drop. Trying to keep the nerves at bay 😬🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ #ParisMarathon #SchneiderElectric #running #raceday #ukrunchat

Woohoo! Bushy Park parkrun results are in. Field of 1,569 runners, 20th female in + 1st in age cat 🤩🏃🏻‍♀️. Given how busy & bloomin' freezing it was, I call that a result! Very happy ☺️ #loveparkrun #running #ukrunchat #BushyPark

Happy 2025 🤩🧡. It's a lie-in for me as Bushy Park parkrun has been cancelled. Quite convenient as getting back from #LondonNYEfireworks was a 2hr mission amidst the hordes heading to the tube! But it was worth it - London did look lovely. Here's one I made earlier... #LondonNYE #NYE2025

A very Happy Christmas from the start of a super busy Preston Park parkrun in Brighton. Brilliant turn out and lots of weaving around 1000+ runners! 🎅🏽🏃🏻‍♀️🎄 #loveparkrun #running #ukrunchat #ChristmasDay #parkrun

A big shout out & thank you 🙏 to all the volunteers at Worthing parkrun this morning, especially the regular friendly faces who make it happen week in, week out! 🧡 @parkrunuk.bsky.social #loveparkrun #Worthingparkrun #running #parkrun #ukrunchat #volunteers #DFYB

Result! 🤩 5th female in out of a field of 417 runners at Brighton & Hove parkrun at Hove Park, 1st in age cat with time 22:35. Very happy with that given the extreme wind & that "undulating" course! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ #parkrun #loveparkrun #HovePark #running #saturdaymotivation

Always lovely to hit the parkrun finishing funnel, and even lovelier today with parkrun founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt as marshall at Worthing #parkrun #loveparkrun #worthing #DFYB #running #saturdaymotivation

Sigh! No seafront parkrun this morning as it looked a tad tricky with the 54mph wind (sound up!) 💨🏃🏻‍♀️ #parkrun #running #ukrunchat #worthing #loveparkrun
