  2. Not the news I wanted to share with you 1 week out from the Chicago Marathon 🥲 Last Thursday I started experiencing knee pain that escalated quickly and meant I had to stop my cool down early as I began compensating Later that day I couldn’t walk normally and my knee became swollen We tried our best to offload, I rested for a 3 days and things were looking really promising when I was able to run pain free on Monday for 15 minutes Sadly, it was short-lived and the pain returned in the next two runs The initial diagnosis was patellofemoral joint pain but when it stopped responding as expected to treatment, we decided to get an MRI this Wednesday On Thursday I received the results and it wasn’t good news I’ve got a fracture in the bone at the inside of my right knee (medial femoral condyle). It’s “subchondral,” so just under the cartilage. As a result my kneecap is sitting slightly higher than normal which has irritated the fat pad that cushions the kneecap, and there’s a patch of grade 2 cartilage damage on the inner side of the kneecap. My team thinks the fracture was caused by the fall I had on the trail 8 weeks ago as this isn’t the type of stress fracture you get from overtraining, it’s a trauma injury. When I fell on it I bruised the bone. Although it was pain free for 6.5 weeks of high volume marathon training, the weakness from the fall eventually became too much, which is why this appeared to come out of the blue. For now, I’m on crutches and I won’t know how long for until I speak to the Sports Doc next week. The worry is that this location is a major load-bearing surface of the joint which means this is a high risk fracture location. Even low-level activities like walking put force directly through the fracture site, so healing can be a challenge if its not properly offloaded. I don’t know what the next few months will look like - this is my first major injury so it’s going to be a process. It’s basically the worst news both professionally, and mentally right now. I mostly feel numb and get waves of sadness both for the race/this block, but also the unknown for the near future. I know I’ll be back, I just don’t know when right now ❤️‍🩹

  2. Top of the world! We did it guys! We officially finished the iconic Abbotts 6 world major marathon challenge @wmmajors !! And set a new Guinness world record in the process! I am absolutely OVER THE MOON!! And I know I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you to every single person who has helped me, supported me, sent wonderful messages and most of all donated money to @CR_UK & @AttitudeMag Foundation! I cannot thank you enough… and thank you not only to my incredible Kate but also my family who made the trip all the way down from Southport to see me. I was AMAZED! The perfect end to the perfect day. I was missing my Mum so much during the run but seeing them let me know that my Mum was with me all the time 🥹 Congratulations to everyone who managed to finish the @londonmarathon today. On the hottest day of the year 🫠 I thought I was going to pass out… my legs are still so destroyed from the @bostonmarathon (which I did on Monday)… my right leg started cramping about half way… I’m amazed I finished 🤣😩 and little Audrey, my stoma… wow!!… to finish the marathon today… and in that heat… Auds my girl, you’re a little champion. Once again the atmosphere of the London crowd was unparalleled… and all the runners looking out for each other, picking each other up when they needed it and cheering each other on from the bottom of their hearts. I’ve never been so proud to be from the UK. There’s so many kind hearts in this world and I feel very lucky to have run alongside you today. Even though it was tough today and my legs hurt right from the start, my feet & my stoma were bleeding, I’ve never been so inspired. Every single step I took, every bit of pain I felt in my body was an absolutely privilege. What an amazing day. I’ll treasure it forever. Buzzing I also got to chat to the wonderful @gabbylogan & @bbcsport too… 🤩🥰… Wow!! What a dream?! We really did it! #wefinishedtogether

  3. She did it! New @guinnessworldrecords 🤩🎉 Audrey is officially the fastest stoma in the world… or so she tells me 😂 Honoured to have set a new GWR today at the @sydney_marathon as the fastest female with a stoma to complete all @wmmajors 7 World marathon majors 🤩🌏 Today was so special and inspiring. From seeing Sophie Rayworth absolutely slay the course, to so many kind people chatting to me in the race and inspiring me to keep going. I’ve also loved being able to get to know more of the @runna family and be inspired by their journeys too. Im absolutely blown away by everyone who has been kind enough to donate to my chosen charities too. Thank you! You are literally changing and saving lives. Running has without a doubt helped me process my diagnosis of bowel cancer and had also made me incredibly proud to be the official owner of Audrey the stoma! She’s my little love and the whole reason I’m alive… and the reason I’m able to run. I am so grateful for her… And I truly hope that if you’re going through a tough time - you can see that sometimes the thing you think would break you… is actually the moment where you rise up and it becomes the making of you. And finally… thank you to my first, my last, my everything… my Kate. With you by my side I know I can’t lose. I love you. Thank you. 1. new GWR 🥹🤩 2. How cool is this medal?!🏅🇦🇺 3. 4:45am walk to the start 4. Trying to pretend it’s not f*cking freezing 😂🥶 5. The legend @itsmehelenthorn bona fide Aussie!! ❤️ 6. About to start… fingers crossed Audrey behaves (also, the reason I got this photo is because Kate got trapped in the marathon traffic and nearly had to join in the race 😂😂 - video on my story) 7. Wow… running across the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge 😍 8. Queen Rayworth 👑 @sophieraworth - absolute machine 🙌🏽 & @wmmajors seven star finisher! ⭐️ 9. The incredible Millie repping Team @runna - who not only has been so wonderful looking after us all, she also smashed out a super fast marathon 🤯 10. We did it Audrey 🥹🥰🏃🏽‍♀️🏅 11. Now for a burger🍔

  1. it’s been a year since I shared with you all an update that would change the trajectory of my life + I couldn’t have imagined the video would blow up the way it did. what I thought would be nothing more than a 4 week manic episode turned into nearly a 6 month, unrecognizable, black out filled period. I completely destroyed what I had been working so hard to build for myself. I made horrible decisions, impulsive and dangerous ones. I completely pulled away from those that mean everything to me + indulged in people that only proved to hurt and use me. I ashamed of where I’m at now, nearly a year later, but so goes the battle with bipolar/bpd. lucky to have had a friend during this last year who constantly showed me grace, reminded me to be kinder to myself and to have understanding that I didn’t choose this. “to try and capture what the last 4 weeks have looked like is next to impossible considering that prior to this, I’d never experienced anything like it before. 4 weeks ago, I hit my breaking point. Over a decade of dealing with my mental health, a diagnosis of bipolar II and the burnout I was running away from, it’s no wonder everything came falling apart. I’ve experienced manic episodes before lasting a day at most, however it’s been a month since I’ve felt anything. A month of feeling numb. 4 weeks of impulsive decisions, risk taking, no sleep, no eating. My mind tells me I’m fine but my body is wilting away. I feel hunger yet the nausea keeps food away. My eyes are heavy but sleep never comes. My thoughts never stop. 4 weeks of pulling away from loved ones, working overtime so I don’t have to sit with my thoughts and not being able to create content I love. A month of not recognizing the person in the mirror and feeling like I’ve been replaced by something evil. A month of not knowing when it’ll stop. Everything is falling apart around me and I simply have to let it play out. Relinquishing control I so desperately want to hold onto. I’m not sure when this will end and I’ll hopefully be back to “myself”, but I felt like sharing an update as I’ve been pretty quiet on here. Take care of yourselves.” #mentalwellbeing #bipolarawareness #womenoutdoors

  3. After a recent race went viral due to announcers joking about a woman’s body, I got into an interesting conversation with a friend. He wanted help responding to the question, “is it ever appropriate to comment on a women’s body composition or appearance, since in other sports, male athletes appearances can be made fun of and called overweight.” ••• Starting with the basics: Announcers and reporters jobs are to help viewers follow-along and get expert-level insight on the sport. With that in mind, why should any announcer ever feel comfortable passing judgements about how someone looks? If an athlete has publicly talked about a part of their appearance - like why they dye their hair a fun color, paint their nails before each race, have actively been working on increasing their upper body’s muscle mass, etc - then it’s ok to quote the player. If it’s not a fun-fact coming directly from the athlete, don’t talk about it. The very idea that any reporter would feel comfortable making mean-spirited or sexualized comments about any athlete - male or female - is disgraceful and unprofessional. ••• Now there’s one other important point to make: the majority of reporters, on-air announcers, and journalists are male. If any of the major sport broadcasts teams took athletes and their fans seriously, they’d be clearing out the old guard, and giving women an opportunity to fill these roles. Athletes come in all shapes, sizes, genders, and from different background. Even when the specific event being broadcasted is all-male or all-female participants, men and women should share the screen and equally have the opportunity to report. That way, we’d have a greater diversity in our expert-level insight... or the main point of having a broadcast team.
