วีดีโอ

I'm going there soon with my cousins I'm a bit afraid any tips?

Hi, thank you for sharing your video! I am running the Wimbledon half this weekend, is the hill that bad? Xx

Good to see you back on TH-cam. Are you still running?

I’m really glad to hear you’ve recovered, I remember you explaining about your fatigue a while ago and it sounds like you went through the mill with it all. We all take our health for granted sometimes! Onwards and upwards now

Good to see you back again. Such a shame about so many HMs being cancelled, but obviously for the best. Hope you can get all the health issues sorted.

Hi Sarah, sounds like you’re getting it worked out, 4 Marathons in one year is a lot, did you do many marathons per year in the last few years as we’ll? Should get a 2nd & 3rd opinion from doctors regarding the Thyroid, very important the thyroid controls most of the hormones in the body, T1, T2 & T3 & TSH good luck

Hi Sarah. Another great video. Hope that keeping a diary helps. Take care. Stephen

Great update. I dont know much about this stuff but I have heard that thyroid issues (as you mentioned) can prevent weight loss, dont know why.... but ive heard that, along with over active adrenal system. Also, stress, cortisol is a big factor in weight loss normally caused by stress. Plus current medication can be causing it by slowing metabolism down? So many avenues to explore... I hope you shed some light on it

Hi Sarah, good luck with your 10k & half marathon coming up, I had fatigue going on back over 10 years ago, doc found I have under active thyroid hyperthyroidism took awhile to find out what was the best thyroxine meds to be on, back then only one brand was funded, people got together & complained to the government, finally more brands are now funded, the first few I got on felt worse, the One I take now is called synthriod very good no problems for over 10years, & you are right about the gut health bacteria probiotics, kombucha, & fermented Cabbage meant to be good for excellent probiotics, thanks, good videos, 👍

Hope the diary helps. Very best of luck at Hyde Park & Landmarks.

Hi. Good luck getting to the bottom of the fatigue issue. Hope it’s sorted. Nice cat, by the way!

Nice video. You did well to survive that ridiculous amount of mud. Glad the training is (mostly) going OK.

Great video. I am training for a half marathon too and know what you mean about self-imposed pressure. Remembering why you enjoy it is important!

Looks like you were standing right next to me on that final corner back over the bridge - I didn't even realise you were filming...

That looked like a fun race! You’re right about etiquette for runners needing a push on social

I've been hovering between vegan and vegetarian for the last 3 months or so - cheese is always my downfall! Plus sometimes I just want a bit of milk in my coffee. Overall though, because I'm always now looking at the ingredients of everything, I was shocked just how much "stuff" is added - half the things I can't even pronounce. A big thing that helps me though is to make big simple batches of food - either soups or rice/bean/veg/tofu mixes, then freezing into smaller containers. Means I always have "goto" food after a run etc instead of going for some of the "processed" vegan stuff which has all those unpronounceable ingredients! And if any of my concoctions taste a bit bland, I just coat it with crushed chili flakes - they make anything taste good!

For me, when I went vegan 4+ years ago the biggest factor in improving my physical, mental and emotional well being was ditching the dairy. I learned that it was the one thing that was really messing me up. Like everything it takes time to adjust and your body will centre itself. Any questions feel free to get in touch! Also check out channels like Happy Pear, Simnett Nutrition and Avande Garde Vegan for some ideas on cheese replacement style dishes :) Nutritional Yeast turns pasta cheesy!

Nice video and awesome tips 👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Loving the videos 👍👏

Awesome day, nice to see someone else filming the run too 👍

Well done, didn't see you there, would have run past you!! You got the atmosphere of it, wasn't it a great day!!

That sounds like great fun! I’ve not heard of a quarter marathon before :)

Watching this gets me excited for my first Marathon in March 2020!

Great work getting out there and supporting others!

Marathon training can be the most debilitating thing we do if other elements in life aren't balancing as well. It needs all the stars to align to get through a good marathon training block! You've made the right call, I am running my race in October for fun and I am buzzing for it now so you've definitely made that right choice. Enjoy Bournemouth, enjoy running again and then tackle the marathon as/when you are ready!

Good call, run because you want to and because you enjoy it ✊ You'll have a whale of a time at Bournemouth with no pressures, plenty of time to go for speed or distance next year - running will always wait for you!!

One poor session doesn't mean too much,just that you have had a poor session, onwards to the next :) Oh and I love running in the rain, I'll wear my trail shoes and get outside.. but then I'm probably just odd!!

Seen your update in the description about pulling out. That's fair enough, got to list to your body and even though 4 weeks seems like enough time to maybe get back on track, those long runs and the taper period are really important. There are plenty of other marathons though! So if you choose one not too far in the future, you might be able to carry on where you left off regarding the training instead of starting from scratch.

Good waffle. Have you noticed if the decision has had any effect fatigue-wise?

Great openness you have. I'm no medical expert on depression and anxiety, but i saw this video which put a perspective about "depression" you may find interesting th-cam.com/video/ykvC3QXJb18/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for sharing, it was really informative. Take care of yourself, they’ll always be more races to take part in

Sounds like a good idea, enjoy Bournemouth without all the hassle! Running's supposed to be enjoyable! 😎🏃🏼‍♀️

This looks great!

They both looked like good fun! I'm in North Wales so the RunThrough events don't reach here, but I've found a few potentials to go for. However, that's all dependent on my (as yet totally unplanned) travel plans too

Great looking events! I had looked into doing it but squeezing it all in was going to be problematic :)

love the medals! 2 races in one week 😎 Wimbledon common looks like a bit of a toughie for running, not my cuppa tea!I prefer tarmac all the way! You were lucky with the weather, hoping it's like that for Bournemouth!

I need to find some 5k and 10k races to run - my one race medal is looking a bit lonely! I have a couple of half marathons to run in my training plan though, but not sure where I'll be running them. I've bookmarked the saltstick fastchews, I think I'm going to need them

Enjoy the journey and take each day as it comes. It looks like you're on the right path and doing well

Yeah well done, just get out and do the miles! Good luck for your 2 upcoming races!

Hope you're starting to feel better now, sod's law that you caught that bug! Onwards and upwards! 😊

haha I'm a right sweaty mess after a mile, but it's all good. I'm going to add in an additional 5km to my weekly mileage by doing the local park run mainly for the social side of things

Sounds like a good week! Are you finding the gym sessions help? they have really helped with my running 💪! Didn't realise you were doing the Bournemouth marathon - fab! I went to Bournemouth last week, with my sister, we did the New Forest 10 miles race and stayed in Bournemouth, we really enjoyed our stay, and we're going to enter Bournemouth marathon, that's if we can get the time off work! We have a lot to do in terms of training though, only 11 weeks to go!

"This too shall pass" - heard that quote earlier today for the first time in a while. It's a good reminder that there are always ups and downs - but they all finish eventually... if only to be replaced by another challenge!

Ha ha yes, as you say, the video is a little strange! but glad you’re keeping your running goals in mind! Thanks for the shout-out, glad you’re still getting something from the book, and that it’s helping you feel stronger, you’re right, that’s how it makes me feel, just more able to use my muscles when running, better form, or whatever. Well done for ticking off 5 weeks off your running plan, that’s more than I’d manage, I usually start with a plan then it keeps getting changed so much and I eventually just go back to doing my own thing. It would be great to hear more on how the running helps with the stress, (everyone has real difficulties fitting in running I think!) It’s inspiring others as well as helping you! Also more on the running itself, ie how long is the long run, what are the sessions you’re doing? That would be interesting and informative, and good to monitor your progress?

Nice to have so many options for running and gyms where you live 😀 We visit our son when we can, in Surbiton, and there's loads of really good routes around there and Kingston. Glad the book is helping; it's not fast weight loss, as it says on the table on p43, that's the only con (of the pro's and cons). With me, I lost 10lb in 3 months, from Nov to beginning of Feb, since then I've stayed at the same weight, with body fat in 99th percentile on p37, so I know I don't need to lose any more, but my body shape is still changing, firming up more on the fatty bits - stomach and thighs - and thickening out more on the skinny bits - chest and shoulders - toning up I guess! It's a lifelong process, which is really easy to stick to, it has become second nature to me now. Good luck with the running club, it all helps with the motivation

Love this stage in training, you start to feel like your just getting going! Really pleased you ran with a club, it makes such a difference 👌

Hi Sarah, glad it's all going well, ha ha, well done for resisting the cakes! I would say just take each training session as it comes, and enjoy that, rather than think of all the tough sessions to come, it might make it easier to get motivated? so pleased you like the book! It's changed my running. I think with the strength training you're doing and the racing weight recommendations you could improve your marathon time by a substantial amount in the time you have.

Totally know what you feel like vlogging with people around! Looking forward to following your running journey and also discussions on the intersection
