Salisbury 10 mile

As I’m not supposed to be racing, but am still allowed to run, I figured that I’d better take it easy at Salisbury. Pete had offered me a lift and I was grateful to take him up on his offer, but I felt a little sad as we ran most of the race together last year and I’d got a...

First PB of 2015 at Salisbury 10 Mile

My first PB (or PR for my American friends) was at Salisbury 10 mile on March 8th. I met several friends at number collection, and was also snapped by the official photographer whilst getting ready: I ran Salisbury 10 with my friend, Pete, who is coming back from injury, so we both appreciated having some company. Pete is better at...

Heartbreaker Half Marathon

The first time I ran the Heartbreaker Half Marathon (14 miles) was in February 2012. The course changed slightly in 2012 to remove a downhill start and move the turnaround point, so that it is now 13.1 miles and not almost 14 miles, however, that hasn’t affected my time very much: 2012 2:16:56 2013 2:14:53 I chose not to run...

No water on the hottest run of the year :-(

I wasn’t sure how I felt about doing Salisbury 10 mile. Two years ago, it was held on an incredibly hot day. I got a 5k PB, but then had to ask Irene to leave me as I was overheating. At the five-mile drinks station, I stopped and had three cups of water, which meant that the marshals told me...

Salisbury 10 Mile

At the moment, I’m really struggling to find time to write this blog, but maybe that’s a good thing as it means that I’m busy organising my life and training. The key event for me at the weekend was Salisbury 10 – a local 10 mile race that is part of the Hampshire Road Race League. 10 miles is the...

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.
