Hi! I'm Stef 👋 Last September, I started running, aged 41, having not run since school. Things escalated! I'm now training for the London Marathon in October 🙀 Read the full story

Lunch time experiment around Dulwich Park
5.02 km26:085:41 min/kmStrava
I’ve now been running three times a week for the last few weeks and I thought I’d see if running four times would work. So I took a lunch break run and gave it a go. Plus, because I’ve done a couple of 10ks I thought I’d experiment with a pace 15 seconds faster. It worked! And I broke 26 minutes :-) Super pleased, and it was a lovely autumn day too. Tomorrow is Parkrun, so I hope doing that without a rest day in between will be okay!

Bank, St. Paul’s, Tate Modern, London Bridge and back again

Seeing if I can fit a run in at work some days. This was good, but lots of roads to cross and people to dodge!

Christianshavn - Copenhagen Strand Hotel
10.49 km01:05:276:24 min/kmStrava
I’m in Copenhagen for the day, so starting my new 5-10-5k weekly plan with a morning run around the docks. Ran from my hotel past the Opera House and serendipitously found the old Rainmaking office at Pier47 where I’ve mentored a few times. Had no idea where I was going! Getting slightly lost in a city is a good way if finding interesting places. Anyway, my third 10k :-)
I now seem to be making a habit of going along to my local Parkrun. Today there must have been five hundred people or so - it’s quite a sight all of these folks starting together! I pushed it a bit harder this time, and didn’t feel any of the dizziness I’ve had in the past, so it was my fastest 5k yet. Probably helped that the kids came to cheer me on! :-)

To the Crystal Palace radio tower and back

Gosh! Quite a hill! And sadly again the Apple watch paused and didn’t record some of this. Anyway - my second ten k 👍

Looks like the data went a bit wrong for this one, but it felt much easier to do this after I tried that 200m height gain run last week. Frosty! ❄️
