WEEK 8 - HALFWAY THERE 😬

And thank goodness this week was another deload week - very much needed as I felt quite tired and low on energy (prob because I was on 🩸 this week) so actually well timed 🙌

I had been reflecting on my ‘easy’ runs the last few weeks and they were literally 1BPM away from Zone 3, so I wanted to focus on bringing my heart rate riiiight down and just keeping an eye on that rather than my pace. 3/4 of my runs were at this pace this week and it honestly felt amazing.

Just enjoyable, no pressure, not getting out of breath or struggling. I need to do these more often!

I also was breaking in my new Hokas that I got last week, so perfect to do this on the longer and slower runs - so far, so good! 👍

Feeling really rested and ready to take on next week’s training - all long runs are getting really long now, let’s gooooo 👊

When I did my first marathon I was so overwhelmed I burst into tears at the finish line 😭

Running a marathon takes a HUGE toll on you, emotionally, mentally and of course physically.

I struggled in the last 6 miles of my first London Marathon (most people do!) and it became a mental resilience test. I remember feeling nothing when I crossed the finish line, apart from being so glad it was over. I was actually then cried for the rest of the day and ‘couldn’t understand what all the hype was about’.

However when I’d calmed down and had a chance to take it all in and recover (and watch the highlights on TV) I realised what an amazing experience it had been.

I did two more Marathons and now I’m currently training for my fourth one 😬 wish me luck!

Friendly health and safety reminder 🥰

I’ve seen too many people try and ‘slam ball’ a medicine ball and it does not end well because a medicine ball bounces back up to your face (obvs didn’t want to demo that properly in this vid 🙃)

Make sure you’re slamming the slam ball (feels luggy and full of sand) not the medicine ball (feels like a heavy basketball 🏀)

Ok have fun slamming!

Sunday Long Run - done ☑️

Miles are really starting to rack up now 😬

I struggled getting motivated to go out for this one, so I made a little promise to myself that I’d treat myself to some new running shoes after (as current long-run ones are 18 months old and have a big hole next to my toe!) so now I’m off to get a new pair - yay!

Happy Sunday everyone! 🙌

CAN WE STOP DEMONISING EXERCISE PLEASE?!

I am SICK of media, society and people you know telling you to not do a certain type of exercise… ‘ooh running? Isn’t that bad for your knees?’, ‘be careful lifting the weights…you might get too bulky!’, ‘don’t lift heavy weights, you’ll hurt your back’, ‘treadmill running doesn’t count’. MADNESS.

I once had a PT that told me to ‘stop going to Zumba’ because ‘it doesn’t do anything and it’s for grannies’ THE RAGE 😡

📢 IF YOU HAVE FOUND A WAY OF EXERCISING THAT YOU ENJOY AND IT’S SAFE - PLEASE KEEP DOING IT! 📢

Life is hard and so is exercise, if you’ve been lucky enough to find a way of moving your body that you enjoy - omg you’ve won!

Here’s permission to ignore the fitness snobbery from society and move your body in the way you enjoy 🙌

Hello! 👋

I’m Beks and welcome to my community! 💪

If you’re looking for a no-nonsense, no fads and no filters approach to fitness, you’re in the right place 👊

Showing you what it’s like to run, race, teach classes, attend classes and navigate the ever-confusing world of health and fitness!

If you’ve got this far - let me know where in the world you’re reading this from! 🌍

#welcome #hello #hellonewfollowers #ﬁtness #fitnesslife #realfitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnesscommunity #personaltrainer #fitnessinstructor

So you’re training for your first marathon…

Huge, HUGE respect for committing to that decision! Now the training begins (which is also part of the marathon experience..!)

Prepare to focus most of your social schedule around your runs…running 4 times a week? That’s a a lot and it’ll take up a lot of your time. That ‘Sunday long run’? Write off half of your Sunday for it 😉

You’ll be experimenting with nutrition, what works before a run, what to fuel with on a run and how to carry it out with you, what to fuel up on post-run (and you’ll find that you’re weirdly not hungry after those mega long training runs - eat anyway)

Some clothes will feel amazing, others will start to feel uncomfortable. Shoes that you’ve always run in suddenly give you blisters after 12 miles.

Training for a marathon is precisely that, a marathon. But it’s a real test of your character, commitment and strength. Some days you’ll find running the hardest thing ever with heavy lead-like legs, other days you’ll fly round. Just stay focused on the ‘why’ and enjoy the process - even the hard runs.

Which marathon are you training for? I’m currently training for Lisbon Marathon on 25th October and I’m on Week 7 of my programme and feeling really good so far! 🇵🇹

Just your friendly reminder to not believe everything you see on social media!

The first clip is me in the evening before I went to bed. The second clip is first thing in the morning earlier that day.

The lighting in the morning is also more flattering. We’re always less bloated first thing in the morning because we haven’t eaten/drunk anything for about 8-10 hours beforehand. It’s just basic science - you’re all good lovelies 🙌

Join me for my 15KM long run! 🏃‍♀️

Didn’t go to plan at the start and I definitely needed more hydration and shorts that didn’t cause me pain but otherwise I was very happy and hope you also enjoy the journey 🙌

Next week’s run is even longer…amazing what our bodies can do isn’t it?! 🤩

Week 6 is done ☑️

It wasn’t perfect - I mixed up my runs and put them on different days and I missed my first ever run during this training block. It was supposed to be a tempo 7K on Saturday - but I had been up at 2.30am to make a 6am flight and my body just wanted to use the rest of the day to rest and get back into life back home again.

I’m totally ok with missing a run, I never usually miss a scheduled workout, but during my whole programme (64 runs) I think missing one is ok - sometimes you do have to listen to your body and I know I did a daily walk (between 4-10k) so I’m not too bothered.

Feeling really good in myself and already looking forward to week 7’s training! 🙌

Yes the last slide is me wearing it at a wedding 🙈

I have a faulty one, so I have to return it…garmin have the audacity to tell me the return could take around 10 days…how do they expect me to do 10 days without tracking my heart rate, sleep and exercise?!! 🤣😩

So you’ve just done a run on the treadmill… but your watch and treadmill distances disagree, which one do you trust??

This happens a lot, and it’s not because one of them is ‘lying’, but because they measure distance in different ways.

How the treadmill measures ➡️
It knows the exact belt speed and how long it’s been running. This is very consistent, if the treadmill is calibrated correctly, it’s usually accurate to within a few metres over several KMs.

How your watch measures ⌚️
Your watch will often switch to its accelerometer (counting arm swings and estimating stride length) - stride length can vary depending on incline, fatigue, or form so the estimate can drift over time.

Verdict - the treadmill is probably going to be more accurate in this situation, so always ‘calibrate and save’ when you finish your activity and match it with what the treadmill says.

Have you ever noticed a massive discrepancy when you last did a treadmill run?!

WEEK 5 DONE ☑️

Another great week of training in the bag - feeling a lot fitter and stronger than last week. Enjoyed the treadmill running too - much easier than the trail and hill run I did on Thursday!

Definitely think being away on retreat is helpful, being surrounded by likeminded people and having a great energy is really encouraging me to get these runs done! 👊

Ready for week 6!

DON’T BELIEVE THE INFLUENCERS 📢

Just some de-influencing from me today ☺️

If your feed is anything like mine - you see a LOT of fitness accounts and creators with ‘perfect looking’ bodies. How I watch and wish I looked like them 😫

But then I remember - they are posting from the best angle, best lighting, flattering clothing, hardly moving… the hardcore fitness influencers would never DARE show their cellulite, scars, rolls when they sit down. But guess what…they have these things too!

I know and meet some absolutely gorgeous and stunning people, but seeing someone in real life just reminds you that we all have ‘normal’ bodies that don’t always look like the ones posted on the screen. And this also shouldn’t be seen as ‘brave’ either - my body moves and I have grown in it.

Even at my ‘skinniest’ I have ever been - I still had rolls when I sat down, cellulite and scars. We all do and it’s ok because it’s NORMAL 👍

This is your sign to just start. Whatever it is you’ve been thinking of starting.

For the energy, the mental clarity, the confidence.

You’ve got this 👊😉

Scales can be a temperamental old thing! Whilst they absolutely have their place for long-term weight loss, they can cause people on a weight loss or fitness journey to become obsessed with the numbers on the screen or display.

That’s why I prefer my clients (especially women due to hormones) to only weigh themselves once a month, at the same time each month.

So when is the worst time to hop on the scales?

⚖️ In the evening - your body is naturally at its heaviest at the end of the day, you’ve been moving your body, eating, drinking, of course you are going to weigh more, avoid! Hop on first thing in the morning after you have been to the toilet.

⚖️ In the days leading up to your period - and then 3-5 days into your period, basically avoid the scales for at least a good week around this time. We naturally gain around 3-5lbs during our period. Unfair but it’s just biology 🤷‍♀️

⚖️ If you ate a high sodium or carbohydrate meal the day before, like a takeaway or ready meal. Sodium retains water - high carbs turn into glycogen which retains 3g of water per 1g.

⚖️ You ate more fibre than usual - fibre is great and we all need to have more in our diets, however if this is increased too quickly, it might take your body a while to catch up! Fibre will bulk up your 💩 as well as holding on to water, so either ease your fibre in slowly or give it 24 hours to pass…

⚖️ After a heavy strength training session - when lifting weights, this causes tears in the muscle (totally normal - this is how the muscle repairs and grows back bigger and stronger!) and this can cause slight swelling which can change the number on the scale.

There’s only one Juicy O… 🍊

Obviously nothing replaces actual therapy - but imo this is the next best thing for your mental, emotional and physical health that you could do ☀️

✨ Sometimes the only way forward is to retreat ✨

Another week done ☑️

This was technically a ‘deload’ week - less intensity and distance to let my body adjust to the training I’ve been doing, next week we up the intensity and distance 👊

This week felt difficult as I was on my period for most of it, so felt heavy, lethargic and crampy (thank goodness it was the deload week!) but all the runs of the plan got done and I was pleased that I managed to get both Pilates sessions in.

Could have done with an extra strength session in the gym, but it was a busy week - I’ll definitely be making up for it this week instead!

Just your reminder that in life - the only person who can really, truly help you and change your life, is you ✌️yes other people can help and assist you, but no one can do the work for you

You can take the traumas, bad things and experiences that have happened to you and shape them into your whole personality, or you can flip it and make your life the best version that you can 😉

It’s the little things 🥰

Consistency works - doing your workout every week, not skipping because something came up/you didn’t feel like it/you felt a bit tired

50% of the time I plan to go to the gym I don’t feel like it 😆 but 100% I always feel so glad that I did afterwards!

How lucky I am to be surrounded by the amazing people that come to my classes 💚💜⚡️

Being self-employed is HARD (which reminds me I’ve got that tax bill to pay today 🙈) and being in the fitness industry is hard too for many reasons - but the classes have always been my most favourite part of it all.

Thank you for coming to my classes! I am forever grateful and wouldn’t be able to do this if you didn’t come!

Looking forward to tonight’s almost full Pilates class (2 spaces remaining if you want to come down!) and then taking a small summer break from 1st - 17th August whilst I’m away on retreat!

10 things I learnt from running 🏃‍♀️

Would you believe I started running back in 2010… 15 YEARS AGO 😳

It was the first type of I did when I was trying to lose weight - I was at uni and living off takeaways and didn’t own a pair of trainers (spoiler I now own about 10 pairs of trainers 😆)

Run because you enjoy it, do it for yourself and not for the approval/opinion of others

Oh, and if you’re sat scrolling waiting for motivation to go for a run…GO AND DO YOUR RUN 🏃‍♀️💨

Insta vs. Reality 😆

I have been doing hoop for almost a year now and I absolutely LOVE it 😍

When I go I post amazing photos of me holding these incredible poses…but they are literally being held for about 5 seconds before my grip dies 😭 the second half of the video is what most of the class actually looks like!

Huge shoutout to the amazing @jc_aerialist_ who runs these classes with her fab wellness business @see.kyoursoul ✨

Week 3 done! ☑️

I really enjoyed my training this week (despite what the diaries say!) and finished my week feeling strong and accomplished 👊 plus my nutrition has been LOADS better this week too, less junk and more wholefoods 🥰

I would have liked to have taken an extra pilates class and done a couple more weights sessions at the gym, but I had a busy week - so it’s ok!

I also did quite a lot of walking this week and a mini run from my house to my Mum’s ☺️

Bring on Week 4! 🏃‍♀️

#marathontraining #trainingdiary #marathontrainingdiary #fitnessmotivation #running #runner #marathon #runnersofinstagram #girlswhorun #girlswhotrain #fitnesscommunity #marathontrainingdiary

This is one I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while…

Exercise shouldn’t be something only ‘fit’ people do

So many times when I tell people about my lifestyle and hobbies I get phrases like ‘oh I could never do that’, ‘I can’t think of anything worse’, ‘I don’t do the gym’ or ‘you sound a bit obsessed’

But that’s the thing - you can do these things (in case you don’t know me, I have a strong dose of ‘can do attitude’ 😜)

There’s not a lot I will preach, but I will preach that you NEED TO EXERCISE. I don’t care who you are or what you do, it’s a safeguard to your future health and your current mental health. It’s a form of self care, it’s a form of medicine.

If you’re the sort of person that ‘doesn’t really do exercise’ - I implore you to think about something you could do to change that, not for me - because maybe we don’t even know each other and never will. Do it for YOU.

We’re all getting older - and I’m not sugar coating this. If you do not exercise, you are more prone and susceptible to life changing illnesses and conditions. I know this sounds harsh, but it’s true.

Do you want to age with independence, to be able to look after yourself, look after your children, grandchildren, friends, take yourself to the shops, to dinner and even to the toilet?

Exercising isn’t a 100% safeguard against getting ill/injured/a disease, sometimes we’re just unlucky. But it makes a huge difference and gives you a fighting chance compared to the version of yourself that doesn’t do any exercise.

If you can afford it: join a gym, get a personal trainer, attend classes that you enjoy. If you can’t afford it: walk with friends, do youtube videos, download free fitness apps. There are types of movement for suitable for ANYONE at any age and fitness level.

Make today the day you start moving for your future self 👊

#harshtruth #controversialopinion #fitnesscommunity #fitnessmotivation #dowhatyoulove #fitnessatanyage #movementismedicine #candoattitude #positivenotnegative #moveyourbody #exerciseforlife

Lol jokes I’ve never been ‘cool’ 😆

But now I say to myself on the daily…

1. Have you drunk enough water?
2. Have you eaten some vegetables today?
3. Have you moved your body today?
4. Have you had some down time today?
5. What happened today that was positive/you are grateful for?

I’m not trying to sound like some sort of life coach, because I’m not! But when I find I keep these things in check each day I personally feel more balanced and in control of my life. Just what works for me 😎

Basically my session at the gym yesterday 😭

#fitness #fitnesscommunity #fitnesslife #fitnessjourney #gymproblems #gymgirls #fitnessinspiration #personaltrainer

This is a pretty sensitive subject but one I feel needs normalising…

WE’RE NOT 21 ANYMORE (unless you actually are 😆)

I truly believe that the patriarchy has set a standard upon us to keep looking the same as we did at 18/19/20/21 and then NEVER CHANGE! Never gain weight, never add muscle, never lose muscle, never change from carrying and growing a freaking human(!!!), never actually just changing in a way our bodies are naturally supposed to as we age.

And unfortunately we all feel that pressure first hand. I had these amazing denim shorts from superdry that I must have purchased in 2011!! I remember them being baggy on me, then remember struggling to fit into them just before the pandemic. Yes, I did have a cry that my favourite shorts no longer fit me, but my 21 year old body was not the same as my 30 year old body. And this is NORMAL and OKAY!

I took the decision to get rid of them…rather than keep them in my drawer ‘incase they fit me again one day’ (…tell me you’ve never said that one before!!)

Just because some of my favourite clothes no longer fit me anymore DOES NOT mean that I am ‘less than’ or my body is ‘worse’ that it was - I actually feel so much happier and more confident in my body than I did when I was younger. I know I have muscle, I know I’m physically fitter and can do incredible things that I couldn’t do when I was younger. And yes, I do put weight on, my weight is constantly fluctuating because I am a woman with hormones, a social life and I like food 💪

So here’s your reminder that you don’t have a 21 year old body… and that’s beautiful. You have a body that is your age that has done some amazing things and you should be SO proud of that!

My skiing career didn’t last very long ⛷️

This was my first lesson.

For some reason I had my second lesson on a dry ski slope…I went up the ski lift, struggled to get off it, then when I did, lost my balance - and in true Bridget Jones style, slid back down the slope and crashed into the people waiting at the bottom. I got a decent bruise as a souvenir from that one.

Haven’t done it since 🤣

This week’s training roundup…

A modest selection of runs - a couple of them didn’t go to plan, but it’s ok!

Feeling really good this week though, (apart from the blisters, you’d think I’d know better by now) and looking forward to upping distance and intensity next week 👊

If you’ve ever ran a race, you’ve probably had the dreaded ‘downstep photo’ - where the photographer catches you as you land on your foot with all of your energy and force, making your skin go loose and everything being pulled down by good old gravity!

Just a reminder that these photos do not represent you - they are just catching your body in a state of movement and are totally normal! Most people delete these, but I’m posting this and comparing it to one of the good ones where I look like a floating athlete so you can see it really is just the camera catching you at an unflattering moment. No biggie ✌️
