Furthest run to date this morning at 28km, nearly 17.5 miles but towed my bollocks off 🥵😬 Struggling to get my head around needing to bolt on circa 14km to this for a Marathon distance 😨 Greedy pig again the day before, ate enough Tuna / Pasta to sink a battleship, porridge and a narna this morning meant my stomach was like a brick and I felt heavy and sluggish all the way round, really need to sort out my nutrition pre run 😬🙈 Plan was to run to Leeds and get the train back but rail strikes spoilt the fun, ended up doing an out & back which felt much tougher than last month. We got round though and @tammygainesrunner1 was patient with my moans and groans (a rare luxury) 😳🤣 Next one needs to be well north of 30km, onwards and upwards 💪🏻 #marathontraining @leedsrhinos @mndassoc @jtrunforall #RunForAMateWithAMate #leeds #canal @canalrivertrust #6:30am #longrun #training @adidas @adidasrunning @adidasrunners @adidasruntastic @adidasterrex @cityrunsldn (at River Aire Waterfront, Leeds) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8ZWGQrWWLaBq6J90M8yFuRcXPhfg9tN1yCbo0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Joined @tammygainesrunner1 and Dave on another of their mad Fell Runs on Saturday 🏔🔦 ! Hellish climb, sideways sleet and snow, pitch black but absolutely loved it ! Leg's were on fire on the decent 🔥 Big thanks to Mel and her Team @eventsduenorth for organising for us, give them a follow, if crazy, muddy, hilly, fell running is your thing, these are the guys to hook you up ! Made all the better by crossing the finish line to a pot of tea, cake ☕️🧁 and a pint in the pub after ...... ........... made all the worse by running out fuel 2miles from home, wounded ! 🚘⛽️😳🙄🙈🤣🤣 (at Reeth Fremington and Healaugh, Richmondshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdFgqdtDSTq0RQaZfbs7QYdJGt-Zk0kIMY6gg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Longest run to date and the first one I can really call a proper Marathon Training run. Faired better than expected and finished pretty strong-ish. Better than my navigation skills anyway (sorry @tammygainesrunner1 😬🙄🙈🤣) #leedsmarathon #robburrow #RunForAMateWithAMate @mndassoc @leedsrhinos @jtrunforall (at Leeds Liverpool Canal) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-nb9Wrq87WCbGdM9wrUX2PlkZEVQPSEWwr0o0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Loved this afternoon at @drfcofficial @eco_power_events stadium with Dad for our annual Christmas hospitality game. Cracking match, absolutely bossed Carlisle for 80+ minutes with a 2-1 win and much needed 3points. Unexpectedly we had the pleasure of meeting and sharing our table with @markmccammon9 one of the nicest blokes I've ever met. Spent loads of time with Dad and myself, even signed our programs and took time out for us to grab a quick photo with him, nothing was too much trouble. 16years ago to the day Mark scored our very first goal at the then brand new Keepmoat Stadium in 2007. Thank you for this aft Mark, proper made our day 🔴⚪️🔴⚽️ #doncaster #donny #rovers #foreverrovers #heritageproject #carlisleutd #happynewyear #2023 (at Doncaster Rovers FC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm46S85LuWi7vKCto3D-NBq84mnU6eqVeE9BRY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
