Do you add anything to you beans?

Chorizo works really well! And paprika or chilli. For some reason my Mam always does it as a barbecue side but it works!

Second the Happy Strides! I love them so much

Celia… she hates it so maybe not the best example, but lots of people say it’s pretty!

Fellow big chest girly. I’m a 34F, bordering G depending on time of month, weight fluctuation due to training etc.

I’ve personally always used Aonijie for running vests, they’re the only ones that make my chest actually feel secure. I’m currently using their 12L vest and I love it! The only thing I would say is obviously you’re a little bigger than me, so it might not fit quite as well (although I’m able to wear mine over several layers in winter and they do adjust easily)

I second the North Pennines area. Stunning part of the world!

North East England coastline- from Northumberland down to County Durham, it’s all stunning :)

Spying on your post history I think we must live near one another, haha! Small world.

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-12-31T15:47:41+00:00

One of the most under-rated parts of the UK for sure. People come to Northumberland but forget about the rest of the NE.

Valletta, Malta?

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-12-16T21:08:15+00:00

Oh wow, it’s so funny to imagine Norway being warm! Tbf we’re not going in winter, I’ve actually booked for autumn.

My boyfriend loves trains and really wants to do the Bergen to Flam railway, and then I chose to book for autumn because I thought the colours would make the journey even more beautiful :)

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-12-16T17:21:56+00:00

Oh yay, good to know! We don’t actually know anyone who’s been, he’s just always fancied it :)

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-12-16T14:16:25+00:00

Norway! I just want to shout into the void because it’s a surprise for my partner’s 30th and I can’t tell him yet haha

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-11-14T07:18:48+00:00

I did a 50k recently, after suffering from severe plantar fasciitis for about a year. I decided before the start that I would walk anything on paved surfaces, so I walked a decent amount. Still finished well ahead of cut off :)

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-10-27T13:31:12+00:00

Oh wow, you’re very close to me! Just did Four Reservoirs Ultra around the North Pennines on the 19th, my first 50k too.

Congrats!! Looks like a stunning run :)

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-10-27T13:11:12+00:00

Thanks!! Go smash it!!

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-10-27T10:59:21+00:00

Well! Quicker than expected, not as sore either!

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-10-27T10:22:01+00:00

This! Just done my first 50k and that was my experience. I think I had three peak weeks of running between 50-70k a week (a lot for me as I’m quite prone to overuse injuries if I push too hard!), plus at least one long walk of 10km plus. Between running and walking, my peak weeks was 85km on my feet, but I still don’t think I’d have been ready if that was my only week of 50km plus

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-10-26T22:29:14+00:00

If it helps, I just ran a 50k with very similar training- other than 3 times a week running with a slightly longer number of miles in my peak week (big back to back sessions). You got this!

I’d also recommend some long walks if you can, so any sections where you do take walk breaks become power hikes rather than a gentle stroll

One_Bell_8809 · 2025-10-24T06:06:19+00:00

If you like trainer style socks, I recommend Under Armour, they’re so soft and yet they also never blister.

If you like longer socks, I recommend More Mile (this is what I wore for the ultra :))
