All the latest...
a pretty place to play
Hi, I'm Bethan, a runner, yogi and PhD student from London. For questions or press please email me at aprettyplacetoplay@gmail.com.
I'm on Instagram...
![It’s the first week back at uni and I seem to have lost all track of time 🙈 I actually shared a training update for The Speed Project over on my blog on Monday but got distracted by meetings and lectures and thinking hard about stuff (oh and a night of insomnia that’s hit particularly early in the term!) and didn’t really tell anyone about...so go have a read, I’m chatting about being turned into a human porcupine, how Running keeps you humble and sharing my training intention for this week. The link is in my bio ❤️

![It's Friday! I really hope I'll be running out the day like this, especially after this week's niggles. I've been resting hard and have everything crossed that my calf tightness will have eased off and I'll be back up to normal training load next week. The idea of an injury at this stage, just over two months to @thespeedproject just isn't something I want to think about, so I'm working hard to look after my body (and my mind) through this process so that I am strong in every way come race day (weekend!), whether that's listening to my coaches when they say rest or being honest with myself about what I need to do to perform at my best (sleeping properly, eating properly, drinking less, keeping my mind calm). Training for this race is such an adventure and such a learning process, I don't think I've ever been prouder of my body or respected it more, I'm working towards running across the desert - that is awe inspiring! What have you learnt from your running journey? Let me know in the comments below. ⠀

![Are runners pedestrians 🏃🏼♀️ I found myself embroiled in an interesting conversation on Twitter recently about the relationship between runners and walkers in parks. Now I reckon we all share the space and all have a responsibility to respect each other, but the person I was chatting to was of the opinion runners aren’t pedestrians and walkers should always have priority. It was an interesting chat that gave me lots to chew on, and I’ve shared some of my thoughts over on the blog. The link is in the profile and I’d love to hear your thoughts on this decisive issue.
