Behind the scenes

LET’S CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM

October. November. December. Let’s lock in with our swimming 🏊🏾‍♀️

I’ve gone from learning to swim again as an adult to finishing half a mile at Swim Serpentine. Mostly breaststroke, plenty of yapping, but we got there 😅

Next up: getting more comfortable with front crawl and keeping at those tumble turns. Something’s starting to click, and I want to see where another three months of practice takes me.

Weekly group lessons, going with my husband and having something booked in have helped me stick with it this time.

Anyone else working on their swimming? Tell me what you’re practising! …let’s do this together 👇🏾

Girl math says if it makes you feel better, it’s an investment, not an expense.

But essentially, YOU get to choose 🤷🏾‍♀️

Your goals. Your version of success. Your movement. Your reasons. Your level of commitment.

Your expensive bike if you want one. Your five-minute workout. Your marathon. Your lack of marathon.

Because there isn’t one right way to do fitness. There isn’t one thing we’re all supposed to be working towards.

Maybe you want to get stronger. Maybe you want to run a marathon. Maybe you want to be able to say yes to more adventures. Maybe you just want movement to make your life feel better.

For me, riding bikes makes me ridiculously happy. They take me places, introduce me to people and give me adventures I probably wouldn’t have had otherwise.

So yeah. HAPPY NEW BIKE DAY TO ME 😌🚲 I’m now riding the Liv Devote Advanced Pro (2026)

What’s something that adds to your life that you’ll happily invest in?

FYI, I’m qualified to coach ya yet very happy to follow along for the adventure 😝

I’ve been a fitness professional for 20+ years, but I’m also here for trying new things, learning as I go and enjoying what all that training lets me do.

Sometimes I’m the expert. Sometimes I’ve made the mistake so you don’t have to. Sometimes we’re figuring it out together.

This weekend I got to ride around the New Forest with good company evidenced by them joining in for my Millenial dance break 🤣😂🤣🤪

Big love to @duathlongirluk for hosting the gravel weekend (check out her page for the 2027 dates 🙌🏾), and of course @draftingthroughlife and @lauraahodgeee for the miles and chats 🚴🏽‍♀️💨🥰

I was defo pushed out of my comfort zone but that’s what we’re here for, right?! …getting stronger so we can go and enjoy ourselves. More of this pls 🙏🏾

I genuinely thought tumble turns were one of those swimming skills that would just never be for me 🤪

BUT… something is actually starting to click 👀

They’re definitely not there yet, but every time I practice I’m getting a little less confused about what my body is supposed to be doing. And forget all the tips on instagram coming from people who can tumble turn in their sleep… respectfully, tips need to start with a roly poly / somersault AT MOST!!

Anyway, one of the best bits about being a beginner is watching something slowly go from feeling impossible to actually feeling within reach.

What’s next for you to master?! 🏊🏾‍♀️

SEPTEMBER DISCOUNT CODES: PART 2 💸

I told you I had more 👀

Here’s another batch of discount codes for brands/products I actually use, from cycling kit and period pants to skincare, travel and a few things that are harder to put into a neat little category.

I share all my codes, links, things I’m actually using and any decent offers I spot in my Click Happens channel, so join me over there if you enjoy saving a few quid.

And tell me: which brands would you actually WANT me to get a discount code for? 🤔

Some links/codes are affiliate, which means I may earn commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you.

MUC-OFF 🚴🏾‍♀️
ELLE20 gets you 20% off at Muc-Off UK.

I use loads of their bike care stuff, but the electric pump pictured has become one of those little things I chuck in my bag for rides to help me feel more confident.

DERMATICA 🧴
SIMPELLE50 gets you 50% off your first 3 months.

I’ve used Dermatica for years now. The personalised formula is the main event, but I’ve tried quite a few of their other skincare products along the way too.

QUAD LOCK 📱
ELLELINTON10 gets you 10% off.

Probably best known for their phone mounts, particularly if you ride, but they have a whole range of phone and lifestyle accessories too.

WUKA 🩸
SIMPELLE10 gets you 10% off all collections excluding Basics.

Period pants, period swimwear and more. Their swimwear has been particularly useful for me this year because learning to swim is challenging enough without my period trying to mess with the schedule.

FREE SOUL 💗
KISE15 gets you 15% off.

Women-focused nutrition and wellbeing products. The vegan protein bars pictured have been VERY handy for throwing into my bag when I’m out and about.

BRICK 📵
ELLELINTON gets you 10% off.

This little thing physically blocks selected apps on your phone until you tap it again. Basically, for those of us whose “I’ll just check Instagram quickly” somehow turns into 45 minutes of doomscrolling 👀

HEALF 🧘🏾‍♀️
KISE10 gets you 10% off.

Healf stocks a massive range of health and wellness brands, so this is a handy one to remember if there’s already something you buy from them. My fave purchase so far? My red light panel.
