Wife, mother, ultra runner.

Follow me on my journey from broken back to ultra.

I hope to give you valuable insights on:
- how to get started in running
- upping distance and getting ultra-ready
- juggling home life
- training methodologies
- injury prevention 
- kit reviews & recommendations
- plus anything else I may wax lyrical about...

I advocate that women can have their own interests outside of family life (and should run ultras to rebalance gender imbalance in the sport).

My story: 
I accidentally started a couch to 5k program in 2018 and loved it. It made me realise that with motherhood I’d lost lost part of my identity. Running became my passion.

I built up to half marathon and set my sights on ultra distances, but at the start of 2020 I was in a skiing accident. I broke 3 sacral vertebrae in my back.

After a long rehab, I vowed to do an ultra, but I had to restart training from scratch.

So, it’s 2021. I’m back training. I’m better informed and more determined than ever!
