One of the most lovely things that happened at the British Championships was walking out of the stadium to collect my things feeling pretty dejected, and the officials watching over our belongings taking the trouble in that moment to tell me that they’d been enjoying reading my monthly column.
… This one’s for you Luca!
Throughout my career I’ve been over the moon to make champs for the very first time (in the 1500m!) eleven years ago, finished 19th in my first attempt at the 5000m the following year, been delighted with 4th the first time around and disappointed with the very same result the next time around. I’ve been part of 3 Olympic Trials, and had to sit the champs out 3 times too. I’ve medalled 3 times and finished last once (this time!) …
& who knows what on earth this crazy, infuriating, incredible thing called running will bring next. Down, but definitely not out.
Thank you to everybody who has cheered me on & checked in with me along the way, especially on the bad days ❤️🩹

It hurts. When you aim high and you believe in your preparation and your capabilities, it’s easy for repeated failure to make you feel delusional, but this is the nature of athletics. You don’t always get what you believe you deserve.
If there is one good thing I can take away from the experience, it is the awareness that even on a bad day I had the strength to give everything regardless of how difficult it felt. I know that same mentality will also stand me in good stead on a good day. Until then we keep working & I’m already looking forward to an opportunity for redemption on the roads very soon!

To think that I considered not racing the British Trials because of a slight cold, finished 6th, was named as first reserve for the team and ended up not only racing at the European Champs but coming away with a Team Silver medal alongside my very talented teammates,,, & & also managed to finish 21st as an individual…
It’s always an honour to compete in the British vest, but this time was particularly special after the heartbreak of injury just as things were looking promising this track season. Going home full of pride, renewed confidence & inspiration. As ever, indebted to Team V for getting me to the start line ready to give it everything. The journey continues!

💭It’s bittersweet. I wanted so much more from myself at these Championships so I cannot help but feel a twinge of disappointment but when I reflect in closer detail, I see a version of myself who is stronger than ever, even on such a technically challenging course. It makes me so proud of the all the work my small but incredibly dedicated team have put in to allow me the level of fitness required to get around that kind of race in 32:11 ~ only 36 seconds slower than my best. I have never doubted what we are doing, and this result gives me just enough fire in my belly to keep working even harder for the next goal, but also so much faith that we are on the right path toward them 🖤😤🔥
🫂 Proud of my inspirational teammates who all gave everything they could on the day to come 5th as a team & deserve their applause: 🫶🫶🫶
🥉Proud of the 19 other British runners who raced from the mass start & contributed to a bronze medal as nation with the 3rd best top 25 runners. Thanks to you we didn’t come home empty-handed so let me know who you are in the comments!! 😍😍😍
Team V: You’re the very best around. Brick by brick. Let’s get back to work 🧱❤️🔥🏰

#DreamOn #EuropeanChampionships #10km
Finishing this season with the highest high of my career, an 8th place in the 5k at my first World Championships & in a lifetime best of 15:18! I am leaving Riga feeling so much joy and so much peace.
Over the past couple of years there have been moments when racing at a world class level seemed like a dream that would never come back into reach. A tibial edema followed by achilles tendinitis and sciatica meant that consistent training and competitive racing was elusive, and as a result I had to work even harder on keeping my mental health strong.
I feel so privileged to have been a part of these inaugural Championships, to be fit and healthy enough again to get the very best out of myself and to have proven to myself that it was a dream well worth chasing so stubbornly for so long.
Long may the journey continue & I am so unbelievably thankful to have had & & putting so many hours in working together so brilliantly & so carefully to coach me ~ wherever that road may take us next! 🧨🧨🧨
