New season!

Hello! It’s been a while. It’s about time I touched base with you all, shared my plans for 2023, and explained what I’ve been up to for the last few months! Let’s start with what I’ve been up to, and work my way up to present day. Since October, I’ve been well underway with my

End of season

Well that’s the end of my first full race season, and what a year it has been! There’s so much to say about this year, so much has happened, I have had some of the most incredible experiences that are sure to stay with me for life, likewise I have learnt many lessons that I

Wrapping up France!

These last few weeks have been crazy, in August I was finally able to focus on racing and not building up my fitness so much, however yet again I found problems, and not everything going as smoothly as planned. This time round it was my caffeine intake, and how caffeine actually has an adverse effect

Back in contention

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post, been a busy start to the month, but very successful! First week of August was my first week where I finally put more focus on racing, and instead of training to just improve my fitness, I am now training to hold my fitness and prime

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted, been a lot of work going on behind the scenes with training! These last few weeks have been focused on improving form and fitness, and over the last 2 months I’ve loved seeing the progress I have made. The results may not be here yet,

Importance of organisation

This week was all very disorganised, disastrous travel plans, car breakdown, and last minute races- a lot happened, but I’m appreciating normality much more now! I planned to come back to the UK to pick up a car, so I can be mobile here again. It seemed like such a simple plan, with not much

Back into the swing of it!

After a quiet couple of weeks it’s time to reflect on what’s happened since I last posted. A lot has changed, my training is back on track, my weight is getting better, and i’ve just had a really productive change of routine! It feels so refreshing that things are starting to fall back into place,

Problem solving

The last couple of weeks have been spent working on myself a lot. Since I started my season here in France in February, it went all as planned and I was very happy on where I was physically, but after a couple of weeks the going got tougher, and I wasn’t able to stay on
