Verity’s Weekly Blog
Explore the sections below, each one brings together articles, insights, and reflections to support you wherever you are in your running journey.
This is where it all began with my weekly running blog. What started as a few reflections after our club runs has grown into a space for stories, lessons, and honest thoughts about running, coaching, and community.
You’ll find posts about the real-life side of running, stories on how to stay motivated, manage setbacks, and celebrate progress, whatever that looks like for you.

And if you’d like these reflections delivered straight to your inbox, you can join me on Substack for writing on running, confidence, and the quiet miles in between.
