Asked HOW ARE YOU? in my stories the other day and although some of y'all are doing 'kay, many of you (us) are just about hanging in there...I'm not 100% sure how "well" I am... I sometimes think I've lost a grasp of what being "well" feels like so I popped to the clinic today to check my white blood cell count (test results last year were not normal) and see where I'm at. Like, am I still suffering post co-vo or am I actually just not as fit as I hoped I would be, right now 🤷🏾‍♀️But this week was attempt no. 34 at a rest week 🥲 to give me half a chance of hitting my distance goal for @wflworldrun on Sunday 🏃🏾‍♀️💨 ...even if my legs might not remember how to run, they'll be fresh 😝 and d'you know what, the whole ethos of WFL run, is to run for those who can't 💥I'll be following some of my own advice (on the blog: Get Your Running Back On Track This Spring), wearing my fav running kit, prepping for the run (charge headphones etc) and then going in with a plan... a run/walk plan.Using my local @rodingvalleyparkrun route which is as flat as a pancake is part of my strategy too!Other than that, think it'll be a gentle ride on the turbo tomorrow 'cos I heard the weather is gonna be pants 👀Got any events this weekend?!📸 @fordtography#TheSweatLife #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfit #LTKstyletip #LTKeurope @liketoknow.it.europe #springoutfit #womensrunning #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanessex #ukrunchat #diversewerun #representationmatters #lululemon #lululemonuk #lifelooksbetter #wahooligan #adventureproof #thisgirlcanrun #arunnerslife #runningoutfit #createdwithadidas #adidasrunnersldn #runningblogger #loughton #loughtonlife #fromwhereirun #adidasrunning #runningcommunity #runningmotivation #rodingvalleyparkrun

Riding hills is one of those things that defo soun

Riding hills is one of those things that defo sounds better on paper than it feels during 🥲 But I signed up to the club hills training session... knowing what I'd gotten into as I live down the road to Mott Street but also not knowing, it's been sooo long since I actually tackled it...But I knew it could go one of 3 ways... I feel good and smash it ...hills are not for me today but I get it done... or I land somewhere in the middle. Whatever the outcome... I would have ridden it once 🤷🏾‍♀️ ... or twice 👀 ...erm, actually THREE times lolDespite the burning lungs, I did aight y'know 💥 ...enough PRs to make me smile, and I spotted a Local Legend laurel that will be mine v. v. soon 😝 but it is a hill 🙈Next week I'm doing a presentation on community for @livcycling @livcyclinguk and I'm looking forward to sharing my journey in cycling... finding my 'tribe' in this sport has been one of the most difficult things but nothing happens before it's time. I'm super happy @biolasarah took the time to chat to me about @velociposse earlier this year, which prompted me to join. Everyone I've met so far have been absolute bosses...Have you found your tribe on wheels?! Or you more of a lone ranger?!#femmebrutale #butchbrutale #livcyclinguk #livcommitted #livlangma #livcycling #livforward #livcyling #howweliv #ukcyclechat #lovetoride #thisgirlcan #InMyELEMNT #thisgirlcanessex #ukcycling #essex #betterbybike #blackgirlsdobike #cyclistsofinstagram #cyclingmotivation #roadstoride #cyclinglife #ridehereridenow #cyclinglife #representationmatters #bikeisbest #lifelooksbetter #wahooligan #adventureproof

AD | Time for me to get back on track with my running, ready for race day in just under a couple of weeks 😬⚡️It's been soooo long since I've had to prep for an event... but I've got a handy 6 day countdown guide for race prep on the blog... and day one is "Pick Your Kit (and get it washed)"Well, that's sorted, with some tried and tested pieces from @lululemonuk ...I'm wearing a firm favourite of mine, the Swiftly Tech Long Sleeve 2.0 along with the Swift Speed HR Tight, both perfect for wicking sweat and keeping me comfortable on my runs.http://liketk.it/3e2aiThese running tights win for me because of the pockets on the thighs; means I don't have to use any other accessories to carry my phone with me and there's a zippered pocket on the back to hold my keys securely.ꜰᴜɴ ꜰᴀᴄᴛ: ɪ ꜱᴛᴀʀᴛᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ʀᴜɴ ᴄʟᴜʙ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴜʟᴜʟᴇᴍᴏɴ ᴄᴏᴠᴇɴᴛ ɢᴀʀᴅᴇɴ ꜱᴛᴏʀᴇ ᴄɪʀᴄᴀ 2014 🥰Have you got a go-to race day / running outfit?!Hit the 'lululemon x rewardstyle' button in my bio link to check out the pieces and find out more about the fabrics and features!#TheSweatLife #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKfit #LTKstyletip #LTKeurope @liketoknow.it.europe#ukrunchat #loughton #fromwhereirun #thisgirlcanrun #runningcommunity #ARunnersLife #Thisgirlcanessex #ukrunningcommunity #thisgirlcan #diversewerun #fitnessjourney #runstrong #buildingabase #ukrunners #lifelooksbetter #adventureproof #womensrunninguk #loughton #runningmotivation #RunPUMA #instagramrunning #instarun #lululemon #lululemonuk #runningoutfits

Only gone and made it to the final week of my Zwif

Only gone and made it to the final week of my Zwift training plan, aint I?! 🎉...it's a win for me as my focus has been on consistency. Massively proud to have not missed a session (2 per week) even when some of them felt worse than anything in my entire life 😂🤣I'm still gonna be riding indoors for structured training, because although the good weather graced us recently... it was brief, huh?! So if the 🌴☀️ tropical vibes won't come to me, I'll bring them with my kit 😝 ...this sets gets nothing less than 10/10, right?!And, before you scroll...📌This Saturday 17th April, @georgiabeavenyoga and I will be going live here on Instagram at 915am for 45mins of yoga, including 5 minutes of breathwork and a 10 minute guided meditation 🤩📌 For all the Zwifters, we'll then be riding at 1045am - route will be Serpentine 8 for the badge, but you can do a training plan workout in the meet up too! If you wanna come ride with us, follow me on Zwift - Elle Linton - and then drop me a dm so I can send the invite!📌 oh and I think my event focus this year is gonna be on Duathlon! It's been a while since I've done one - it was on the cards for 2020 but... 👀 ...lots of tips on the blog for aspiring Duathletes which I'll also be reading to refresh my memory!ʜᴏᴡ ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛʀᴀɪɴɪɴɢ ᴘʟᴀɴꜱ ɢᴏɪɴɢ?! ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ꜱᴜᴘᴘᴏꜱᴇ ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴅᴏɪɴɢ ᴀ ᴅᴜᴀᴛʜʟᴏɴ ᴛᴏᴏ ᴛʜɪꜱ ʏᴇᴀʀ?!#livcommitted #ridehereridenow #livcyclinguk #ukcyclechat #thisgirlcan #thisgirlcanessex #representationmatters #womenscycling #pedalpower #cyclinglife #turbotrainer #indoortraining #indoorcycling #gozwift #ridelikeagirl #consistencyiskey #buildingabase #turbotraining #gozwiftcycling #zwiftcycling #paincave #lovetoride #blackgirlsdobike #zwift #nevernotriding #cyclingblogger #wahooligan #myrival #WhyIWattbike #WattbikeAtom
