#throwbackthursday To the cool Street Art Running Tour with @secretlondonruns a couple of months ago. London is one of the worlds most culturally rich cities and street art plays a big part in that. What better way of seeing it and understanding it then going on a run with an expert tour guide? - Have you ever been on a running tour of a city? Enjoy it? - #gifted #thisdadcanrun #rundadrun #dadsthatrun #goodbyedadbod #runningdad #instarunner #instarunning #runfatboyrun #runningman #runsmart #runhappy #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runwithasmile #runfast #runrunrun #londonrunner #runlondon #marathon #halfmarathon #runlondon
#wednesdaywisdom “Take it all one day at a time and enjoy the journey.” This sums up my running at the moment. I am looking forward to starting the training for Berlin but for now I know I need a few care-free weeks of running for fun without the pressure of a plan. No distance or time targets for my training runs just running to feel. - Anyone else feel like this at moment? - 📸 @adam_w48 @rocketdogphotography - #thisdadcanrun #rundadrun #dadsthatrun #goodbyedadbod #runningdad #instarunner #instarunning #runfatboyrun #runningman #runsmart #runhappy #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runwithasmile #runfast #runrunrun #londonrunner #runlondon #marathon #halfmarathon
#medalmonday This was a hard fought for medal yesterday at the Hackney Half. I like the funky design and it’ll be a proud part of the collection. I need to sort some kind of display solution for my medals but am finding it difficult to decide on something? - How you display/keep your medals? - #showmethebling #bling #runningforbling #run #running #runner #halfmarathon #hackneyhalf #eastlondon #londonrunning #runlondon
#sundayrunday The Hackney Half was a bit of a mixed bag for me today? I didn’t perform as well as I had hoped but think there are lots of factors involved in that. Not least of all the ‘hangover’ from London. I felt tired from the moment I woke up today and though I ran the first 8 miles fairly strongly I struggled after that to maintain my pace. I came home in 1h 57m 25s so not a car crash but there is work to be done. The plan for the next 4 or 5 weeks is to build up a bit of strength and speed up with gym work and shorter (faster runs). I hope this will give me a decent base by time I start training for the Berlin Marathon in 5 weeks. Training and performance aside the event was good one and a decent one for the calendar. - How did everyone else get on? - #thisdadcanrun #rundadrun #dadsthatrun #goodbyedadbod #runningdad #instarunner #instarunning #runfatboyrun #runningman #runsmart #runhappy #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runwithasmile #runfast #runrunrun #londonrunner #runlondon #marathon #halfmarathon
#flatlay for tomorrow’s Hackney Half by @virginsport Am very excited for this run tomorrow, though not as prepared as I’d like to be. Post London I haven’t run much. Not going to let that effect my mindset though and am just going to see how it goes and have a goal to have a good time 🥳!It’s an early start tomorrow so it’s important that I have all my kit laid out as I have to be out of the house by 6am 😱! - Who else is running tomorrow? Hoping to say hey to as many people as possible 👏! I’ll be easy to spot so holler if see me! 👊 - #thisdadcanrun #rundadrun #dadsthatrun #goodbyedadbod #runningdad #instarunner #instarunning #runfatboyrun #runningman #runsmart #runhappy #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runwithasmile #runfast #runrunrun #londonrunner #runlondon #marathon #halfmarathon #hackneyhalf
How cool is this? A Lego Me! I really love the little details on the kit. What a cool memory of the London Marathon! - Q: how do you get one of these? A: head over to the talented @christopherallendesign and check out his recent posts. Essentially you need to make a donation to his fundraising for @spinalresearch a charity that is so personally important to him. Also, follow his journey to this autumn’s Berlin marathon. - #thisdadcanrun #rundadrun #thisdadruns #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #londonrunning #runlondon #berlinmarathon #runberlin #lego #legome #legorunner
#throwbackthursday To the Hackney Half 2018. Am very excited (and a bit nervous) to be heading back to this event this Sunday for the 2019 edition. This race has a fabulous route and atmosphere and was one of the first things I booked in to my diary for this year. I just hope I can do it justice as I haven’t been quite right since London and niggles have meant that I haven’t run much at all in the last few weeks. We’ll see what happens on the day but the goal is to have a good time! - Anyone else running on Sunday? - #thisdadcanrun #rundadrun #dadsthatrun #goodbyedadbod #runningdad #instarunner #instarunning #runfatboyrun #runningman #runsmart #runhappy #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runwithasmile #runfast #runrunrun #londonrunner #runlondon #marathon #halfmarathon #hackneyhalf
#wednesdaywisdom “Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” I try to remember that comparison is the thief of joy, find a love in what you are doing and don’t put yourself under unrealistic and unnecessary pressure. IG is such a cool place for so many things but stay mindful of the pressures that it can bring, take it easy on yourself. Keep turning up and you will reach those goals! - #thisdadcanrun #rundadrun #dadsthatrun #goodbyedadbod #runningdad #instarunner #instarunning #runfatboyrun #runningman #runsmart #runhappy #running #runningmotivation #runnersofinstagram #runwithasmile #runfast #runrunrun #londonrunner #runlondon #marathon #halfmarathon #mentalhealthawarenessweek2019
