Discover a stronger, more toned, reinvigorated you at our pilates studio in Godalming, Surrey www.essencepilates.co.uk Most people have heard of Pilates.

It’s massively increased in popularity over the years, but why? Pilates is now a part of mainstream fitness in health clubs and studios across the globe. Many people use the exercises to achieve their fitness goals and to enhance their exercise regime. Since the 1990‘s the scientific community (Osteopaths, Physiotherapists etc) have recognised the contributions that Pilates exercises make to injury rehabilitation, giving this form of exercise huge awareness and credibility. The original exercises have been modified so they are suitable for all fitness levels and abilities.

A lovely w/e away with the family with some walks, run, pub & Alpaca walking! & definitely the most civilised trip to Glastonbury I have ever taken - without a dance tent or portaloo in sight!

The Richmond marathon. Pacing the Sub 4.30hrs group.

Brilliant experience, lovely people and a great route. My favourite bit was Kew Gardens at the start & also the sections by the river.

A hot 10km 🥵 can never seem to get out of bed early enough but this is the best bit!…..the post run swim. Makes it definitely worth the effort.

Rome 🇮🇹 a girls trip with Isla - celebrating her 16th bday year & exams being over!
This city is living up to the hype - truly incredible. Not sure why it’s taken me so long to get here!

Brilliant trail run this morning with Fiona Daffin and Winnie! It was muggy out there but loved running a different route & catching up.

Definitely need a race in the diary soon - undecided on whether it should be a 10k or half marathon! 🤷‍♀️ - maybe 10k as easier to fit in the training with a busy summer on the horizon…

Girls weekend 💖

Really needed and appreciated this break and time with friends who’ve known me for more decades than I can remember 🤣 It was a weekend of ☀️ 🌊 🥂 🏃‍♀️ 🏰 🛀 (meant to be hot tub not bath) yummy food and lots of laughter and reminiscing. Nothing like old friends!

Race recap part 2: much later than planned 😬

So coming through the half way line and still feeling good, heading back into town and enjoying the crowds. Once through town the route wiggles a lot in Hove. Leg was playing ball - phew. I largely forgot about it for the remainder of the race.

I got to a spot where I remembered my friends .m.bailey and in a previous year jumping up and down at me and just past here I spotted my family!! It was so great to see them. It was just the boost i needed at that time.

Head down & still feeling good. Taking water at every station. A gel every 5k. It was only when I got to 36km that i started to feel a bit fatigued. Not a crash like I’ve experienced before but struggling to hang onto pace.

I didn’t mind that i was a bit slower for a few kms because i was tracking well and my one goal was to not walk. I am a big advocate of walking if you need to, my problem in recent marathons has been my body thinks I’ve reached the end & I can’t pick my legs up again.

So I started counting up to 20 and back (that’s all my brain could manage!) on repeat. Just keep plodding on. Saw the fam again cheering! One km at a time - just tick them off! Finally the 40km mark.

Tried to pick it up again (semi successfully) but knew could make it. Body in so much pain but head more determined than ever.

Saw fam with 600m to go and kids cheering me on. Where’s the finish line? Couldn’t see it. Then eventually thank god! Crossed the line. Couldn’t move but so happy!

Super proud of just under a 3 min PB aged 47. But that marathon was so much more than the finish time. It will always be one of my proudest marathons as I’ve had so much going on in my personal life - really the start line was the goal. Although the finish line felt bloody good!!

A pint 🍻 with friends after was just lovely

Last week my Osteo Sam confirmed I had a small tear in my Achilles tendon so after 12 days rest & a treatment, it’s healing nicely & just doing some light miles now but am pain free again and just enjoying no real plan atm!
