Hi, I'm Bethan, a runner and writer who strives to be not only physically fit, but also mentally fit. For questions or press please email me at aprettyplacetoplay@gmail.com.

I'm on Instagram...

14 miles all over the city with Doris, the folding bike of dreams 🚲 I love how cycling gives me a whole new perspective on the city, and that there are so many more segregated cycle routes than I thought there were! Seriously, cycling is so much more enjoyable when you don’t have to worry about trucks and cars, especially in London! Do you cycle in the city? What do you love about it? . . . . #cycling #btwin #decathlon #decathlonbloggerscommunity #bikes #velo #london #womenscycling #girlsonbikes #citycycling #bikesofinstagram #outdoorbloggers
You cannot be what you cannot see 🏃🏼‍♀️ there are so many women and girls out there who don’t believe movement is relevant to them, who see sport as something just for boys, who lost all interest in physical activity at just 7 years old, but what if we could change that by making women in sport more visible? Today on the blog I’m chatting about the power of documentary film making in creating inspiring female role models, go check it out and let me know if you’ll be joining me at @feminista_filmfest this weekend!

Blowing off some cobwebs with 8 miles of trails around Thorney Island, a beautiful patch of land off the south coast complete with an air of mystery because you need to be buzzed in and out (its MOD property) 🏃🏼‍♀️ it was so amazing to get out and shake my legs out after feeling really rotten all weekend, although I’m always surprised how hard trail can be compared to road! Mike seems to take to it like a mountain goat, but even though I enjoy it I always find uneven paths and stop start miles tough! Maybe it’s just because it makes me feel slow, but tell me I’m not the only one who gets beaten up by trails?! . . . . #beyondexpectations #running #marathontraining #bournmouthmarathon #ukrunchat #womensrunningcommunity #inspiringwomenrunners #mindfulmovement #mindset #powerspeedendurance #runrunrun #marathon #trailrunning #trail #adventure #getoutside #outdoorbloggers
This week has been a bit meh on the training front. Two good interval sets, but not much of anything else 🏃🏼‍♀️ 13.1 was on the cards for today, but between a storm and a rebellion in my uterus I’m giving it a pass, although that does mean I get to run by the sea down in Chichester tomorrow, so mega silver linings! Training will never be perfect, there’ll always be things you can’t control, so work with what you’ve got and focus on enjoying the ride, the rest is just a bonus. . . . . #beyondexpectations #running #marathontraining #bournmouthmarathon #ukrunchat #womensrunningcommunity #inspiringwomenrunners #mindfulmovement #mindset #powerspeedendurance #runrunrun #marathon
