helping women find a balance between
WORK – LIFE – FITNESS – FOOD – FUN
“Mollie is an amazing, positive motivator, just what you need when you are trying to become more active.”
“She has a perfect blend of encouragement, counseling, and a no-BS allowed attitude that makes her super effective.”
INSTA
Things are picking up! More miles. More movement. More food.
James was away at a conference so I had to be home in the evenings with Maple. That meant lifting weights in the living room while watching Season 17 of Grey`s Anatomy. Apparently, I missed a lifting session on the bank holiday. Oops.
The warm weather is good practice for what will inevitably be a warm race in mid-July. Right now, I am finding a balance of pre-workout, electrolytes, gels and real food. It is a fine line to walk.
Here is how last week went:
Scheduled run distance in ( )
Mon - taught one x 45 min spin class; physiotherapy on stairs
Tues - taught one x 45 min spin class; physiotherapy on stairs
Wed - 30 min lifting session at home
Thurs - 12km run (12km)
Friday - rest day; osteo appt
Saturday - ran 28 km (which included my 82nd parkrun)
Sunday - rest day

Strike your vote 🤛🏻
As I have only been a British citizen since July 2025, yesterday was the first opportunity I have had to cast my vote. And of course, Maple had to accompany me to get a #dogsatpollingstations photo (swipe to see). The people working at the polling station were very nice but would not allow any photos inside the room. All I had to do was mark on X on a piece of paper and slip it into a sealed plastic crate. Easy!
Since I had makeup on (just the eyes and lips per usual), I took the opportunity to take some selfies. You never know when you will need a "good" photo for something.
In the evening, I went to see Dracula and it was spectacular. Cynthia Erivo is a one woman show with accents and costumes but do not forget the stage crew helping her out! What a team effort! 🧛🏻 I am going to reread the book as the play highlighted a few things I missed.
What did you get up to yesterday?

*Race To The Stones training week 4 update*
I think I am starting to get the hang of this! Finally scheduled in two weights sessions and even enjoyed a date with my husband (along with margaritas). The bank holiday meant I could swap a few things around in my training schedule for added flexibility. Here`s how I did.
Scheduled run distance in ( )
Mon - taught one x 45 min spin class; 17 min strength session at home while cooking dinner; physiotherapy on stairs
Tues - taught two x 45 min spin class
Wed - physiotherapy on the stairs; 35 min lifting session at home
Thurs - 7km run (10km); taught two x 45 min spin class
Friday - taught 30 min core class & date night with James
Saturday - 5km dog walk with friends
Sunday - Long run 26 km (26 km). Started later than I usually do so the midday sun started to get to me. This will be important info on race day. Even though I walked a few km I still got it done!
What do you find the most challenging when training for a big event?

My weight loss journey started one year ago. Look how far I have come. Size 18 to 14. 77kg to 65kg. 📉. AD
The before and after photos say it all. The body circumference measurements support what you see. So does the pile of clothes I am donating because they are now too big. 👚
I have no problem acknowledging how much Juniper has helped me with my weight loss. The positive feedback loop of losing weight, being able to move easier, and enjoying running again have helped me both mentally and physically. 🏃🏻
Where do I go from here? I have always wanted to help people be healthy and happy. Juniper is another tool that can help you. 🔧
Ask me any and all questions about how Juniper`s program works. I am here to take the stigma away.
Also, ask me for 10% off your first order. Let`s make this as easy as possible 😁

Things are getting busier so I am posting less. Last week, there was so much going on with the London Marathon, it was hard to keep track of all the events. I went to the Expo Thursday night to have a look around. Friday, I went to an @on event and tested out the Lightspray shoe (it is very cushioned and light!). Long runs are getting longer, but having friends to chat with and make me finish the entire distance makes them bearable.
Here is my week 3 training recap:
Scheduled run distance in ( )
Mon - taught one x 45 min spin class; fast 5km on treadmill (5km)
Tues - taught two x 45 min spin class
Wed - taught one x 45 spin class; physiotherapy on the stairs
Thurs - rest day bc no one was coming to the 5km morning run (10km). This is why accountability is important!
Friday - 5km run; osteo appt
Saturday - ran 24 km with a friend and ended at a bakery (24 km)
Sunday - rest day

Last week`s training went well. Lessons learned from the weekend where I had my first `long run` and then Sunday was household chores (only some of which got done) and kitchen shopping. I will need to have a better strategy going forward how to recover from long runs and still function on Sunday. Maybe an afternoon nap? If you have any ideas, please let me know!
Training break down for week 2:
Scheduled run distance in ( )
Mon - taught one x 45 min spin class; 3km on treadmill (5km)
Tues - taught two x 45 min spin class; physiotherapy on stairs
Wed - taught one x 45 spin class; 20 min lifting session
Thurs - ran 7.7 km (8 km)
Friday - did physiotherapy on the stairs / rest day
Saturday - ran 17.8 km with friends (15 km)
Sunday - rest day
Onwards!

Sunday long runs are now on Saturdays.for me until my ultra in July. Yesterday, I met some friends in Cambridge for 15-20km along the river. It was perfect running weather and we took it easy. My plan was 15km so I was happy to stop at 17km and walk the rest of the way to Chelsea Buns (highly recommend!).
Because I wasn`t home, there wasn`t any post-run stretch routine and I am paying for it today. Lesson learned! To make this training plan sustainable for me and my husband, I need to ensure that on Sundays I am able to contribute to the household and spend time with my family.
It`s a marathon , not a sprint.

Today was my last Wednesday morning class at @nrggym_hatfield and my members surprised me with a thank you card. This group is great and always come to class smiling (even though it is 6:15am). I am going to miss them! 😢. I so appreciate their thoughtfulness.
This is for the greater good as I shift my training focus to strength training on Wednesdays. My other cycling classes are training my cardiovascular abilities. Now I just need my body to be strong. 💪
What kind of cross training do you do? ❓
PS. This song is in one of my spin class playlists- enjoy!
