Peak District | Stanage Edge Trail Run

April 17, 2018September 26, 2018 ~ Frede ~ 7 Comments

Last weekend, Edward and I headed to the Peak District to try something new... We went trail running. After running the same two routes around the village all winter, I needed a change of air and I felt ready for a new challenge. Our new Salomon Speedcross 4 had been sitting in the closet for … Continue reading Peak District | Stanage Edge Trail Run

February Running Challenge | 75 Miles

75 Miles Medal & Card

Toward the end of last year, after a huge amount of stress left me exhausted and utterly unmotivated, I took an involuntary break from running. I wanted to run; I simply couldn't.

Two weeks ago, Edward and I celebrated Star Wars Day by running the 'With You May the 4th Be' virtual race. We signed up a month prior after I saw an advert for it on my Facebook feed – it was an easy decision: Edward is a Star Wars fan and I'm always happy to … Continue reading Star Wars Day Virtual Pace Race

Running teaches me that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined. Since I moved to the UK, running has been a bit of a challenge. It got better at the end of last year/beginning of this year but it's now worse than ever. After running two 10K PBs within a week … Continue reading Running Struggles
