My parkrun A-Z: Jersey Farm parkrun

This weekend, my mum came to stay, which meant that I had a free pass to travel to another parkrun. (My mum comes to visit M, not me!) I’m trying to complete my parkrun alphabet and as the letters that I needed were J, Y and Z, it was an easy decision. There’s only one Y left in the UK...

My parkrun A-Z: Victoria Dock parkrun

Last weekend, Stuart treated us to a trip to London. M was so excited about our minibreak as the last time that we went somewhere other than my mum’s house in Cornwall for a break was two years ago. I was excited because it was an opportunity for some parkrun tourism. I’m still trying to complete my parkrun alphabet, so...

My parkrun A-Z: Itchen Valley Country parkrun

My plan on Saturday had been to go to Southampton parkrun to celebrate its 400th event. Stuart was going to do a long run that finished on The Common and I was going to drive there with M.

Land’s End parkrun

One of my goals this year was to complete all of the parkruns in Cornwall. To help me achieve that, I’d planned to run at Tamar Lakes today.

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.
