#pyllonrunmoment17 We were asked to share our happiest run moment/s from 2017 2017 was the year I started training under Paul. The first time in my life id try to have some consistency & thought in what I was doing, rather then rolling the dice at each race as to whether I’d even finish. The plan was to build for Lakeland 50, I’d run it the year before in a pretty slow time & could see the benefits of training. Unfortunately I had the worst cold of my life when attempting my first taper & never started.. though the run with Rupert (@mountainfuel_uk) in the following week in the Borrowdale valley put a smile on my face So instead here is a selection of random photos from a few of the races/events I shot photos at that year Swipe 📱👈🏻 . #teampyllon #capturingmemories
Never been one for birthdays but I’ll be remembering my 30th I guess living on your own has its own set of challenges in a lockdown, as you are your only face to face company & worst enemy wrapped up in one I got my daily fresh air on Saturday, running up/down a midget hill for 45 minutes before slipping back into my isolation chamber. Right now I’m truly grateful I don’t live in a city, i’d be going off the rails Having been working from home for two weeks before the weekend & now on leave, making sure every day has some form of purpose, set of goals & structure is paramount. For those who follow my reviews, there’s a lot coming out in the next few weeks on my website Forever grateful for everyone reaching out to check I’m doing ok So here’s to being 30 Keep safe, keep active, keep talking, keep being yourselves #stillakidatheart
Going In @trekbikes Factory Racing follows the Enduro, DH & XC teams over the 2019 season I was lucky enough to watch the global premiere at @kendalmountainfestival last November & Trek have now released this for everyone on @redbullbike TV 90 minutes of escapism, highs, lows & shenanigans Link in bio #abreakfromreality #kendalmountainfestival
Looking forward to big days in the mountains - whether running, racing or capturing others 📸 . . . #returntothemountains #pushyourlimits #throwback
Happy Birthday to the legend that is @grahamojoe Missing the 5am breakfast chats from XPs, energy he emits & proud of being unashamedly himself A true sensei #birthdayboy #teampyllon
The Pentlands provided a break, a final piece of mental clarity from the ever evolving situation that finds us relinquishing our social freedoms in order for a greater future I’m sure there are some who will deem the above to reckless. Thankfully unlike many areas, the Petlands were quiet, very quiet - few people on the southern peaks, the north empty. Social distancing observed, the recommendations of Mountain Rescue observed & followed Races, events, group runs & rides - they’re a privilege, not a right. We have them because of decisions that were made by countless generations before us. I love all those things, they’ve been my work & social life for the past decade, but they aren’t everything. I’ve many friends who are race directors, media, involved directly who are all being hit hard financially, I want to support them where I can I struggled last week, working from home. Changing attitudes, habits & routines takes time, but they can and will be done. I live on my own, I’m single & my parents are self isolating due to my fathers medical conditions (they also spent a week in Spain when it went into lockdown). I haven’t seen them since January and now won’t till July earliest I never talk about her, but my younger sisters a nurse. Major gratitude for all frontline services & those involved both directly & indirectly Utilising a small space as an office, gym, place to unwind & stay connected isn’t easy, but has to be done Follow @ayrshiremtb for @gozwift / @elite_cycling tips & tricks for those who want to turbo these weeks away Im always here for a chat, keeping mentally well is paramount moving forward
