Running the Black RAT yesterday was an absolute joy. It was tough, relentless - you're either going up or down on the coast path, flat is a myth - and in some "interesting" conditions 🌬️🌪️🌧️⛅ and it was everything I needed. Gill and I ran together from the start, picking up Helen from @mudstacle in the last 12 miles, and we bimbled our way through to Gill's first ultramarathon finish line via gorgeous views, gert big hills, the stairs of despair, a few sandy beaches and some epic aid stations 🍹🍉🥨🍰🍦🍻 @mudcrew_events you guys put on one hell of a weekend 😁 #racedaystories

When you get to reunite with @wiggilly for another jaunt along the Cornish cliffs ❤️💚 Black RAT, let's do this! 😆 #racedaystories

Church of the Sunday Long Run featured a bimble round the Shropshire hills following the route of the May the Fourth half with the crew. Big hills, gorgeous single track, more blueberries than I've ever seen in one place and some serious Jurassic Park vibes tracking through the bracken before a visit to @thepoundleebotwood for an epic Sunday roast. Win. #borninthemud #crewlove

Can I go back now please? #girlstrip #thompsonsteadmanandgonzotrails . 📸 @banjosaurus

Because what else do you do right after coming back from an adventure than hit the hills with the crew? 😜 Tweaky hamstring meant we had to cut it short, but worth it 💚 #crewlove

Scottish adventure day 6 - unexpectedly our last day on the trails thanks to cancelled flights on Sunday, but what a gift! 😍 Fort Augustus to Drumnadrochit on the Great Glen Way with @banjosaurus and @claireweustenraed featuring sunshine, views, and snacking our way through the glen while picking girole mushrooms 🍄😋 What. An. Adventure! #girlstrip #crewlove
