Hi Anna, your blog is a good read I am feeling the need to give you some positive feedback, I am a running crazed nutcase these days, I play Piano and Guitar and I like digital painting and am an F1 fanatic and love sim-racing online BUT running has trumped everything!!
I am 44 I have a lovely family and am in great health and I am determined to get under 20 mins for a 5k and into the 1hr30’s for a half. Weirdly I have a small niggly hamstring injury of which I am still able to run on and I am suffering immensely with hay fever as I have done for 40 years so I share your frustrations there! The heat has made me lethargic but I am still training through it and making sure my iron levels are nice and high. By the way I was reading that women athletes suffer badly with their iron levels due to a lower absorption rate and some more obvious reasons.
As you can imagine reading your blog and seeing your posts on Instagram will obviously be of interest to me.
I just thought I’d give you a good will message of encouragement just to say well done and yes this blog is more than well worth doing. In fact how about a youtube channel? How about some Vlogging?? Now that would be fantastic.
Hi just seen this sorry!
Running is the best isn’t it? Hehe. And nice goals to have – super speedy.
Thank you so much for your lovely message and thanks for reading 🙂 Hamstring niggles suck!!! Hope yours improves.
Nooo I couldn’t vlog. I’d sound like a right twit!!

Wow! Those PRs are amazing. I’m working to get to a 20 min 5K as a goal this year. I did a PR last week – only landed at 24, I gotta keep at it!

They are great 5k and 10k times. I would love to get under 20 mins for 5k; I don’t do enough speed work though – most of my runs and long and easy pace.
