Olympic Athlete. Speaker. Coach. Woman of Faith.
Hey! So I thought I’d have plenty of time over the two-weeks + stay in the Middle East to write up this blog. What a myth! I believed the blog would be a positive distraction, a pleasant activity to relieve the boredom. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I wasn’t bored. I didn’t need… Continue reading My World Athletics Championships Experience, Doha 2019
I am the UK's number one long jumper! That feels AMAZING to say right now. And I have a NEW PB! This year has been such a dream. I know some of you have been waiting on updates. (Thank you for your email prompts. It's nice to know I'm actually writing for somebody, and not… Continue reading 2019 Outdoor Competitions – BEST UPDATE EVER!
It's been a while. I had nothing to say before, but now I think I do. Back in a Team GB & NI vest for the third time this year, I can't believe the complete u-turn my athletics career has taken over the past 12 months. For an update, check out past posts. But I'm… Continue reading Unstuck. Moving Forward.
#AskAbs: Following injury, what inspired you to get back to fitness and improve your PB? What advice would you give to athletes recovering from serious injuries or life set backs? Resilience. That's the buzz word, right? I'll answer these questions in 2 separate posts because this will otherwise make for a long read! Unfinished Business… Continue reading #AskAbs – Part 1: What inspired your return to fitness & to improve your Personal Best?
I'm back. Three years on, I'm back in Phoenix, Arizona. I left this place believing I'd retired from the sport I dearly love and enjoy. I left here with a broken heart (dramatic, I know but so true). Because when I left I'd just ruptured my Achilles tendon and was heading home for surgery and… Continue reading Back home where my heart is: Phoenix, AZ
Hi! Did you catch me on your screens on BBC 2 this weekend? If not, check out this 'Moment' for an update of my performance, placing & reactions at the European Indoor Championships, Glasgow 2019.

An update on my performances over the last two competitions (both in Birmingham), the challenges and the successes, and a tip that'll help you re-frame your perception of your unique gifts to find more enjoyment in your work.
My first England vest since 2008! I won! And I jumped the European Indoor Champs standard! I am also currently ranked amongst the top-ten female long-jumpers in the world right now. So many good feelings right now! 🙂 I had a mediocre series, at best. By series, I mean the jumps I took in each… Continue reading Indoor Competition 2: Vienna International – Team England (Jan 2019)
I opened up with 6.29m and a medal. A gold one. I’m North of England 2019 Indoor Athletics Champion. Women's Long Jump Northern Champ. And hilariously, I'm probably the number one female long jumper in the country right now (we're only 16 days in, so it's no biggie. hehe). To me, that seems so small.… Continue reading Indoor Competition 1: Northern Champs, Sheffield (Jan 2019)
