One year ago today 🤍 and I’m taking it on again in six days… This was honestly one of the best days of my life. Watching this video back makes me so proud for persevering. Exactly what I needed to watch to get me through this maranoia I’ve currently got. I am so determined to do myself proud again. Doing it for my younger self who had no idea what she was capable of 🙏🏼 For anyone else running London this year, good luck!!! Have fun out there because that is what it’s all about!!!

AD ~ On days I can’t do much, a shower always makes me feel better! Especially when the body wash is created to match your mood 🫧💘 you can shop the @method products body wash range on Boots or Amazon now!! This vid ended up showing the extreme level of my disability where I can’t even do anything. Yet the video I originally planned, I was going to show my post-run self-care when I’m in pain but can handle it. Would you like to see this still?

AD ~ I’ve cracked the code to winding down of an evening 🤝 @method uk @moveyourframe #method

⤹ My why Thinking about it really got me deep in my feels 😅 This is what will carry me through tomorrow so make sure you know what yours is!! It’ll help you through the tough times especially if you hit a wall. You’re got this 🤍 Alsooooo… at the end of this video, I may have given you a sneak peek of my marathon outfit for tomorrow 👀 as always, in head to toe @lululemon ★ AD In order to do good, I have to feel it on the inside AND out so my marathon fit was so important to me!!! I absolutely love my decision and couldn’t be happier! The material is so soft and I love the relaxed fit of the shorts 💖 Shorts: ‘Shake It Out High-Rise Running Short 2.5’ (Galactic Colbalt). UK 10 ✨ My love for these shorts is ridiculous. I have them in every single colour! Top: ‘Swiftly Tech Cropped Short-Sleeve Shirt 2.0’ (Galactic Colbalt). UK 6.

It’s bonkers 🤯 what should I actually do? #bluebadge #disabled #UKGovernment

Well, that didn’t go quite as planned… I know carbon fibre shoes are meant for race day 😅 I was just curious to see what all the fuss was about! Thank god I didn’t wait until race day to try them out though 😂 I was absolutely gutted that my foot bled through my shoe though! These were the official London Marathon 2024 race trainers, and it was my first time wearing them!! Oh well 😅 I’ll admit, it was a bit silly of me to start training so late (two weeks ago, to be exact 🫣). It feels so strange seeing everyone finishing their training plans and smashing out 32km runs, whilst I’m just getting started ✌🏼 Weirdly, I’m feeling okay about it! I’m really hoping and praying I can achieve my goal of not stopping or walking once 🙏🏼 especially since I’m not sure how many more marathons I actually want to do… not convinced the pain is worth it tbh! On the bright side, having trained less has definitely given me a better quality of life these past couple of months 😂 What do you reckon, how do you think I’ll do at London? @New Balance @lululemon

To anyone doing it and is scared, just watch how fun it is….. & I go again in five days 💘💥

I cannot express how much I struggled mentally. I am so unbelievably grateful to still be here, still run and move my body 🥹

When I tell you, I convinced myself for 10km that my family were around the corner…. I was DESPERATE to see them. My support network and the love I received yesterday from all of you is hands down what got me through 😭🤍 Head to toe @lululemon 🎽 ad

ad ~ T-2 days 🤯 I swear by these… Switching to a Therabody massage gun was honestly the best upgrade. I’ve built such a nice little routine around it - my post-run shower and massage time feels like a real self care treat 🤝 my Radox body wash might just be a new staple - it felt like a mini sanctuary in my bathroom 🫧 All the products I use are from @Boots UK - couldn’t recommend them more! Especially if you regularly deal with pain or muscle fatigue 🤍  When you download the free Therabody App, it even asks where you experience pain and what kind of workouts you do - there’s even a wheelchair option!!!! We LOVE exclusive brands that get it ✨

Grateful doesn’t even cut itttttt

I cannot tell you how much mental struggle / strength that took 😭😭 I will update you all tomorrow as I’m so done in but thank you all for your support 🙏🏼💥 no words will ever express my gratitude! Thank you so much to @Coopah Run Coach for getting me here. BEATING my PB by over an HOUR 😭😭 thank you so much !!!!!🥹🥹 I could not have done it without you 😭 if you want to give running a go, you can trial the app for free using code “PICKLES” - linked on my stories 💘

⤹ Running club accessibility I hope this video reassures some of you❤️ As a heads up - the lift shown as out of service in the video is at location 51.4834153, -0.1493360, so please avoid that route. Good news! Battersea tube station is fully accessible and the route to the lululemon store is too! 🙌🏼 For those curious, the pace groups are as follows: - 5:00 min/km - 6:00 min/km - 7:00 min/km - 8:00 min/km - I’ll be leading this one! I’ll check in with you all on Saturday via my running broadcast channel to make sure you have all the deets you need! I am so excited for this weekend - there are some epic surprises in store for everyone joining us 🥳 Eeeek see you soon! Run club empowered by @lululemon 💘 ad (I’m an ambassador)

Replying to @Raygen♿️ my thoughts 💭 #amputee #swimming

Big career moment 🤯 so proud 🥹 @lululemon ad / I’m an ambassador

This little chat with myself really helped me. It was important I let out how I felt. I then reminded myself of how far I’ve come, that I’m doing it for those who can’t run and how grateful I am. Chatting to myself switched something in my mind and I felt so much stronger after this xxx
