Hartfelt Miles

In January 2026, Bethany and I took on the UTMB Arc of Attrition 100 mile race in Cornwall. The Arc is known to be one of the toughest winter races in the UK where runners face limited daylight hours, challenging coastal paths and extreme winter weather. The day before we started the race, we sat down to reflect on our training, feelings towards the race and share our race strategy.

In Part 2 of Episode 9 with Arran Williams, adventure coach and ultra-runner, we continue the chat we had from Part 1. Mindfulness is a key theme throughout this episode. We talk about how Arran incorporates it into his daily life, and why he believes many people practise mindfulness more often than they realise. We also explore how it can be a simple yet powerful tool to support your running. We...

This is my second 'training updates' episode where I talk about how training has been going since the last update and the running I have been doing. This episode reflects on the past six weeks of training, running my 5km personal best and my longest runs in six months. I remind myself how solo episodes do not need to be scary and how time seems to be flying at the moment.

For this week's episode I am joined with Susie and Bethany (2/3 members of 'The Witches') to talk about our favourite running memories together, how we met and our plan for running and crewing the Arc of Attrition. Disclaimer: we do love each other our friendship is based on sarcasm and making each other cry :)

In this episode I am solo! I talk about what training has looked like for me over the past three or so weeks as I begin training for UTMB Arc of Attrition. The episode talks about how the start of training hasn't been how I would of liked but the importance of being flexible and kind to myself when this happens. I talk about going vegan again after years of eating meat and the silly falls I seem t...
