9 April 2016 - After testing the foot out at the gym yesterday decided to take the test outside for a longer 9k run......and so #happy to say that there was no pain! All things hopefully back on track to running the #londonmarathon now only 2 weeks away! Will give it a proper test tomorrow in a longer 25k + run but I am now confident that it wasn't anything serious! #nikerunning #nikeplus #valentinepark #eastlondon #ducks #marathontraining #runfornepal #pleasesupport (at Valentine's Park)

8 April 2016 - S had been letting the foot rest after the #stressfracture scare but s has also been taking it easy. Still haven't actually had it checked out by a doc but it's stopped hurting the last couple of days. Tested it out on the safety of a soft cushy #treadmill for a cruisy 1k and it held up okay....a little sore but maybe it's just in my head #marathontraining #nikeplus #nikerunning #2weekstogo #fridayfun #tgif (at Fitness First Ilford, UK)

2 April 2016 - Starting at #bethnalgreen we did a quick loop around #victoriapark before heading towards #leyton #leytonstone through #wanstead and then #redbridge where we had to pick up our running bag so we could carry some water and energy snacks, it was about 14ks in by this stage and were feeling good. Getting started again we just couldn't find the right momentum, our legs had already cooled down and every step was a pain in the ankle, knee or calves. Our aim was to do 35k all the way to #epping through #eppingforest We pushed through another 12.5ks through #rodingvalleyreservoir #buckhursthill but didn't quite make it the whole way as we caved in to finding a #tube stop and making it back on the #centralline from #debden. #eastlondon #nikerunning #nikeplus #runlondon #marathontraining (at East London)

A relaxed Sunday run after the big one on Saturday, a good chance to stretch the legs and it's all for a good cause #sportsrelief #sainsburys I decided to wear some of my limited #Nepal merchandise need more for the big #marathon day so that I can display what I am running for loud and proud! Anyone know where we can get Nepal vests/singlets/sports shirts? #London #marathontraining #nikeplus #nikerunning #actionaid (at Olympic Park, Stratford)

Starting at #BethnalGreen we ran up the canals, past #Londonfields, #Angel, #KingsCross, #CamdenTown kept going down the canals past #LondonZoo the got out to do a quick loop around #RegentsPark.....that's where it got really tough...consistent up hill battle past #HampsteadHeath, #GoldersGreen and finally to sunny #Colindale! Was meant to do 32k's but the hills really killed the legs.....thanks to everyone who donated this week the support really helps on these loong cold runs! #nikeplus #nikerunning #marathontraining

12 March 2016- Our longest run yet! First 10k felt fine, next 10 was ok but that final 9k was a push! Stop, start, stop, start... Had protein bars, energy gels, strawberry laces to keep us going #londonmarathon #nikerunning #nikeplus #marathontraining #eastlondon #london (at East End of London)

3 March 2016 - both the best and worst run in #florence! It was weird, 15ks in to the run it started pouring heavily and only then did we feel energised and motivated! Absolutely loved running in the rain with it dripping down my face, hair wet and splashing in the puddles along the river #arno. Suppose to do a 26k run but had to cut it short, as after we hit our peak did we realise being soaked with the cold wind against us and joints feeling stiff was did the run get tougher and tougher. #marathontraining #nikeplus #nikerunning #londonmarathon 💦💧👣#firenze #italy (at Florence, Italy)

3 March 2016 (s) - Feel good within! Enjoyed the sunny 5k run before work #londonmarathon #nikerunning #nikeplus #marathontraining (at Victoria Park, Bethnal Green, London)

23 February 2016 (S) - I really didn't want to miss the game tonight....but I also really didn't want to cancel a run! #dilemma went to the gym for a shortish run and made it to the pub only missing part of the game! Problem was the place was only showing the #Arsenal #Barcelona game 😶 I was hoping at least one screen would have the other game but had to resort to following it on the phone! Great comeback by #Juventus, it's going to be a tough second leg but let's hope they get through...... #nikeplus #nikerunning #marathontraining #ucl (at Old Street, London)

21 February 2016 (S) - The dots on the map represent me struggling to the gym in the hotel for an attempted 23k run! I ran out of time. Ran out of energy. I really wanted to go for a nice long run along the sunny canals and parks of #Amsterdam but the weather didn't really allow and I got lazy 😞 I really need a boost with only 2 months left till the big day! #marathontraining #nikeplus #nikerunning #thenetherlands #holland (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

19 February 2016 (S) - What do you do on a Friday night when you are waiting for two friends to join you on a night out in #Rotterdam ? Go for a run obviously 🙄 there is small chance that I might not make the long run tomorrow so thought I would get something in tonight! Ran past this cool bridge which was a bonus! #netherlands #nikeplus #nikerunning #marathontraining (at Rotterdam, Netherlands)

17 February 2016 (S) - Standard late night #liverpoolstreet #m&s meal 😔 snuck in a run at the gym! Really need to get an outdoor run in soon getting bored of the treadmill! #marathontraining #nikeplus #nikerunning (at London Liverpool Street Station)

13 February 2016 (S) - So this photo is a little bit of a fake....only a little bit. I did go running in #tromso and I did run 24k's but it was not outdoors in the freezing temperatures rather in the awesome #SATS gym in town! Running on a treadmill for that long was not the must fun thing to do but was happy to have clicked up the big run even when I was away for the weekend! The #northernlights #auroraborelis were amazing! #nikeplus #nikerunning #marathontraining #tromso #norway (at Tromsø, Norway)

8 February 2016 (S) - The standard #mondayrun it's only when you run alone when you realise how hard much better it is when you have a running partner! This lap felt like it took forever! #nikeplus #nikerunning #regentspark #marathontraining

6 February 2016 - Longest run we have ever done! 22.5km starting at #morelondon #towerbridge and heading all the way down the #thames to #batterseapark and back again down the other side of the river! About 17k's in started feeling the heaviness in our legs, needed energy given there was another 5.5k's to go, so pulled out the peanut butter protein bar.., oh how that helped boost us and kept us going for the hardest ever 5k. Felt great to have worked up to this within the 4 week space... At this point in time couldn't do another one of these,but hopefully with another 2 months of training to go - we'll get there! #nikeplus #nikerunning #london #touristslowusdown (at London, United Kingdom)
