Suddenly it’s December… and you realise you haven’ Suddenly it’s December… and you realise you haven’t been in the baby pool for a long time. I restarted swimming lessons in summer 2024 as a nervous adult who wasn’t confident in the deep end. Progress came quicker than I expected — but confidence still took its time. Now it’s December 2025 and I’m back in lane swimming, holding my own in the medium lane 🙌🏾🏊🏾‍♀️ Calm. Patient. Capable. Still learning. This is what progress actually looks like — not dramatic, just consistent. Next goal: Swim Serpentine. Two miles. If you’re rebuilding confidence in your body — in the water or out of it — you’ll feel at home here. Follow along 🥰 #LearningToSwim #AdultSwimmer #BeginnerSwimmer #ThisGirlCan #ProgressNotPerfection
London Marathon. The end. And that was always the London Marathon. The end. And that was always the plan. I trained well, ran the marathon, then I stopped. Not because I “fell off”… but because rest was the point. Since then it’s been a mix of short runs, parkrun walks, one very satisfying “Strava said no” run, and doing exactly what felt right at the time. Here’s your reminder: You don’t stop being a runner because you’re not training for something. You don’t lose your identity because you take a break. And you don’t need to earn your way back. Still a runner. Still moving. Still allowed to change the pace. If this looks like your year too — you’re good. Trust me. 🫶🏽 #londonmarathon #loveparkrun #thisgirlcan #runningjourney #marathontraining
I don’t have a “goal” for followers; I just wanna I don’t have a “goal” for followers; I just wanna connect with people who like being social on social media 🤪 y’all are who I come to when I’ve got questions 😅 Here’s what I’m into: - cycling (road and gravel) - running (although I’ve not run much since london marathon in April) - I’m a personal trainer, indoor cycling instructor, run online classes and work freelance as a social media manager - I learnt to swim in my thirties and am trying to get strong enough to complete swim serpentine in 2026 - I have my own blog which I’ve written for the past 13 years called ‘keep it simpElle’ That’s enough about me; we can get to know each other properly after the holidays 🥰 but my inbox is always open 🙃 #aboutme #contentcreator 📸 winter views at the start of parkrun
⚠️ complete the Swim Serpentine 2 mile event in 20 ⚠️ complete the Swim Serpentine 2 mile event in 2026 to achieve my London Classics medal 😅 After completing London Marathon in 2025, @swimserpentine is all that stands between me and that giant medal. Let’s not focus on the fact I can barely string 2 lengths together atm… we love a BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious) goal right?! If you’re new here, I’m Elle and I started learning to swim in my 30s. And started again just before I turned 40, last year. This is the longest I’ve swum consistently and the plan is to not give up before I get those last 2 medals. In between the pool, I love cycling (indoors and out), write a blog and work as a fitness professional and freelance marketer / social media manager. What’s your BHAG for 2026 then?! #learntoswim #2026goals #swimmingjourney #representationmatters #thisgirlcan
