Plogging and running really are the two of the main passions I have.

But they come from very different places. Plogging is a mission and I would rather not do it, whereas running? Well, that brings me true and deep joy. 

​

I tried to kid myself for years that I was a triathlete (i even did a couple of Ironman races), but while I love swimming and biking, running is where my heart is.

​

This was one of the real purposes behind me starting my wayeoflife Instagram account. I did it to motivate myself to rekindle that joy and celebrate it. To not just run, but to run more, run better, and run happier.

​

Other changes in my life (predominantly going vegan), meant I really could run more. 

Now I run around 4000km/year.

​

I still have some big ambitions too. Why should getting old stop me chasing goals? Age is just one limiter. Other elements play just as much of a part, specifically; structured training, recovery, diet etc.

So I am chasing PBs at the age of 53. And big goals too! I want to run 3:15 for a marathon (my best is 3:23 from over 10 years ago). Why the heck not?

​

But with so many posts made about the subject on my Instagram account, it is easy for some that I am especially proud of, to get lost amongst the crowd. Here are some of my favourites.

​

It could be a favourite of mine because of the photo, the video, the message, or it is just a cool memory.

I will change these up a bit, but for now, these are my top 9 photos and top 6 videos

(I really need to pull out all my videos in some sort of library)
