My first 5km buggy run in over a year

This week has been up-and-down in more ways than one. A big high was being included in a Vuelio top 10 list, my cycle commute is definitely ‘up-and-down’, work feels relentless as it’s the start of the academic year and my running still feels in decline. However, I was pleased to complete my first 5km buggy run in over a...

Hi, I'm Tamsyn!

Triathlete | Blogger | Running Coach & Fitness Instructor

As an overweight couch potato, I decided to turn my life around. I lost over 33lbs/15kg and now love keeping fit and healthy. In February 2013, I set myself a challenge to complete an iron-distance triathlon (2.4 mile/3.8k swim; 112 mile/180k bike; 26.2 mile/42.2k run).

Since starting my triathlon journey, I’ve:

learnt to swim and completed a 17.5km sea swim

bought my first road bike and cycled across Japan

run six marathons.

had a baby.

I’ve not completed an Ironman yet… but I’m getting there.
