I’ve got 5 motivating & useful running books on the blog to help you keep moving and stay focused on your goals. There’s a bit of everything including epic ultra running stories, books offering training guides and evidence based info, & food and nutrition. I love a running book so from here I think I’ll write them up individually.  Link’s in the bio and swipe to see some of the books included 👉🏻 .

    I’m not sure how I’ve managed it but during al I’m not sure how I’ve managed it but during all periods of lockdown, I’ve  had bursts of creativity and inspiration. It’s like a little window has opened up in my brain.  Maybe having more time has helped but I’ve worked throughout. Perhaps just being at home has freed up my mind 🧠 🤷🏻‍♀️.  Creativity has taken many forms - I’ve had loads of blog post ideas (like, tons), I’ve reached out to local brands, painted more, and have explored my love for photography.  That doesn’t mean I haven’t had creative blocks or ruts. These captions can be quite testing at times!  When I’m really stuck, I find it’s a good idea:
✋🏻 Not to push it, sometimes it’s best to leave it.  ✨ But sometimes it’s good to do something connected to the creative project you were aiming for. So, if I’m not in the mood for writing a blog post, I may take photos instead.  📖 Do something else, like bake, walk, read, and come back later. I may switch my day around to suit.  How do you manage those creative ruts? Do you try and crack on, or do something else?  #creativeblock #beachesoftheworld #theroseland #roselandpeninsula #creativeprocess #cornishcreatives #outdoorblogger #instacornwall #amazingcornwall #saltyair #theoutdoorproject #yourcoasts #followmebythesea #ifollowcornwall #kernowfornia #beautifulcornwall #cornishblogger #capturingbritain_coast #coastallife #cornishbeach #cornishcoast #explorecornwall #thegreatcornishoutdoors #nationaltrustsouthwest #aonb #lifebythesea #brilliantbritain #suitcasetravels #swisbest #lovegreatbritain
    Hasn’t it been a great weekend? Maybe we all nee Hasn’t it been a great weekend? Maybe we all needed some rays to make us feel like Spring isn’t that far away 🌸 ☀️ 😎 .  I’m quietly chuffed too as the last 3 small interval runs have been ok. It’s a case of one run at a time but this has been the week I needed. It’s going to take a while to trust any progress, but it’s been encouraging. Can’t beat a bit of south west coast path either 👌🏻.

    Saturday 🥳🥳🥳🥳. I intended on sharing Saturday 🥳🥳🥳🥳.  I intended on sharing some weekend plans/ideas on stories yesterday but if I’m totally honest, it didn’t feel right 🤷🏻‍♀️ . So, here’s the lowdown...  As I’ve a free weekend, in my head I’m going to do loads, including clearing the front garden and cutting back some plants 🌱 , sea swim 🏊🏼‍♀️ , run 🏃🏻‍♀️ , do a bit of painting 🧑‍🎨 .  I’m sure there something else 🤔 but I can’t remember 🤦🏻‍♀️! I’ll keep you in suspense on that one 😂.  The sun is shining all day!

    The charming, terraced houses in Caerhays with pre The charming, terraced houses in Caerhays with pretty primrose yellow windows, doors and gates. They have the same yellow details as Caerhays castle, so I’m guessing they’re part of the estate.  Caerhays is a sweet little hamlet, and definitely worthy of a stroll. By the castle, there’s Porthluney beach (which I’ll forever call Caerhays beach 😃🤦🏻‍♀️) overlooked by large sweeping fields. Great for running or walking to neighbouring Portholland and Hemmick beach 🙌🏻. All you need is a flask of tea and a pasty 🥾🥟.  #caerhays #villagephotography #streetperfection #thisprettyengland #thegreatcornishoutdoors #raw_uk #uk_shots #instacornwall #welovebeautifulshots #photosofbritain #excellent_britain #englishvillage #lovecornwalluk #ukhiddengems #cntraveler #villagesociety #visitengland #soenglishithurts #capturingbritain_rural #postcardplaces #travelbucketlist #kernowlife #jj_streetshots #tv_lovelylanes #brilliantbritain #explorecornwall #mybritainwithlove #hellocornwall #cornishcreatives #watchcornwall

I’m quite reassured that there’s an explicit plan to ease us out of lockdown.
