My 40+ life

Welcome to my 40+ life
Do you know what? For me, life really did begin at 40. This has been the decade where I’ve learned the most about myself and been brave enough to become the person I was always meant to be. Like most women in their 40s, I've been on quite a journey, and have always written about my experiences as a way of processing them. Last year I decided to be brave, take the plunge and launch this website.

There's something very healing and powerful about sharing our experiences. For years, I was the one reading blogs for comfort, guidance and support. Helping someone by sharing my story was always my dream and your comments and messages have brought me huge joy. Please subscribe by clicking at the bottom of any of my blogs so that you don't miss anything, and follow me on social media to see all my content - all links below :) .

Thank you!

I’ve learned during my very long and chequered journey with health and fitness that the key to sticking at it is doing stuff you genuinely enjoy. For me, exercising out of a sense of duty alone isn’t enough – I need to look forward to it. I recently realised that although I love running, I get...
Track running for beginners

If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd be dragging myself out of bed at 7.30am every Saturday morning to run around a race track in South Leeds, I'd have laughed in your face. But since joining a running club, track running has become a welcome part of my weekend and something I rarely miss. ...
