CONGRATULATIONS to everybody that has run for charity in a marathon this year. Marathons and half marathons are immense undertakings, requiring both great physical and mental fortitude.
Rainforest Concern is so grateful to those that chose to run for us, the Rainforest Runners. Thank you.
Collectively our Rainforest Runners have raised nearly £8000. This is a stupendous effort.
If you have any photos of Rainforest Concern runners, or want to run a marathon for rainforest conservation in the future, please contact us at

Runners are always welcome to come into our Bath office so that we can discuss the work you have run for.
🏅 MEDAL MONDAY 🏅
A massive weekend for Team Armadillo with racing, running, swimming and a frankly ridiculous amount of climbing… 💪
Big congratulations to Nick, Dean, Cathryn and Ffion (Second in age cat!) for taking on the Llanelli Sprint Triathlon, the first race in the Welsh Super Series! A strong start to the series and plenty more to come 👊
Special shoutout to Ffion as well for finishing FIRST in her category at the Llanelli Swim on Friday 🥇 Excellent work backing it up across the whole weekend!
Meanwhile, Sean decided one trip up Pen y Fan simply wasn’t enough… completing the legendary @10yfan challenge by climbing up and down Pen y Fan TEN TIMES in under 24 hours 😳
18 hours.
No sleep.
Questionable sanity.
Outstanding effort 💥
And Rhys absolutely flew around the @bathhalf in a blistering time, showing all the hard training is starting to pay off nicely 🔥🏃♂️
Huge congratulations to everyone involved this weekend, proud to see Team Armadillo out there putting in the work, supporting each other and doing brilliant things!

Medal Monday 🥇
Ring that PB 🔔 1:53:38
Yesterday I raced @great_run Bristol. It was a wonderful event and very well organised. The finish was great and could find loved ones easily unlike Bath 🙈.
Absolutely over the moon with this time. Yesterday morning my two boys and husband all said times they thought I’d get! One of my sons said 1:53 and I was like absolutely not, considering I got 1:58 at @bathhalf only 8 weeks ago!
Since Bath, I have stayed consistent with all my runs, strength training and eating right (…with some treats thrown in for good measure) and it does just prove consistency is key!! Now to try and get closer to that 1:50 mark 🫣☺️

Why does running slow help you run faster? 🧠🏃
Easy running improves your aerobic system by increasing mitochondrial density, capillary growth, and stroke volume—meaning your body gets better at delivering and using oxygen efficiently.
Low-intensity miles also improve fat oxidation, help clear lactate more effectively, and allow higher training volume with less fatigue and lower injury risk.
Translation: running easy builds the physiological foundation needed to sustain faster paces for longer.
You don’t get faster by racing every training session. You get faster by building an engine first.
Train slow enough to adapt. Race fast enough to show it. So don’t be afraid to get overtaken on a run, ditch the ego and self-focus on your goals!

🏃♀️ UNDERSTANDING RUNNING INJURIES 🏃♂️
I had a great time talking to a group of local runners about risk factors for running injuries and strategies for prevention.
I'm looking forward to hosting more of these sessions in the future.
If you're carrying an injury or looking to be proactive in doing as much as you can prevent future running injuries...

May bank holiday / Star Wars day 😅
After being out all night helping / following Jim for the NCC and his other lovely crew / support, not getting much sleep and then having an hours sleep when I got home, I didn’t think this run would happen today, but as it was such a nice day I couldn’t stay in bed and miss the lovely weather 🥰
Glad I got it done - 7.3 miles in about an hour, didn’t feel too bad, think the new shoes were helping to carry me along 😅
