Suns out. Picnic buns out 😄😎

A wonderful day in the park with my Katie. Including a quick outfit change so little Audrey (my stoma) could enjoy the sun 🌞

It’s back! One of my favourite swim suits is back in stock at John Lewis 🎉

So comfortable, great support and coverage and even though Audrey (my stoma) is showing I can wear this totally covering her up too ☺️

I’ve just ordered this in black ready for summer 2025. Audrey & I can’t wait to wear!

Wearing a size 10
I’ve also linked to a full coverage swimsuit if that’s more your style. Hope to see you looking fabulous poolside 😍🕶️

RUNNA Crew Love 🤩🙌🏽🌎

337,199 steps
8 months
6 major marathons
1 new Guinness World Record
& countless new friends, family & world class community!

THANK YOU TEAM RUNNA!

Ever since I told you my stupid idea of trying to run all 6 world major marathons, (one after the other), in 8 months, with the final two marathons on different continents and 6 days apart you have been right there beside me. Every single step of the way. I can’t thank you enough! Not only have you helped me get into the shape of my life for this challenge…

But thanks to your help, 5 of those marathons I ran are the fastest times of my life 🤯

Thank you for encouraging me, supporting me and helping me believe it was all possible. Even when my stoma prolapsed and nearly ended the challenge before we even started! 😂🤣

I am so happy that running brought us together and I am so proud to be a memeber of the Runna family. @KateHolderness too 🥰 I have NO IDEA how you’ve got her running regularly… and entering races… but you’ve done it!! It’s a miracle! 😂

_______

I’ve only been using the Runna app since July last year but it’s absolutely transformed my training. I’m learning more and more about all aspects of running, why different sessions are important, tips on nutrition, hydration, conditioning… even advice on trainers… and most of all I’m learning more and more about myself.

I feel like we’ve just got started Runna! I can’t wait to see what adventures we go on next ☺️

If you’d like to give Runna a try. Please use code ‘ADELE’ for two weeks free. I hope you like it as much as me… and I can’t wait to see you smashing it xx

Boston was a MOVIE 🤩🎬

We’d heard such good things you, and we knew you were a BOSS city… but we weren’t ready!!

From your welcome, your rich history, your grand beauty… the EPIC food… it’s worth visiting just for those cannoli!!…
To your prestigious & historic marathon. It was a true honour to run your iconic course. From Hopkinton, to Newtown, running up Heartbreak hill and trying to keep it ‘Boston Strong’ to the finish line… ‘chasing the unicorn’ has never felt so good 😍🏅🦄

Thank you for a wonderful time Bostonians - you LEGENDS! You are as gorgeous as your city, with hearts as deep as the famous Boston pie!!
We hope we get to experience another slice!

World Major Marathon City 5/6.
Proudly supported and #gifted by the incredible @BritishAirwaysHolidays team. We couldn’t have done this challenge without them. It’s been an honour working with them & meeting their accessibility teams. Thanks to their generous and heartfelt support we have been able to raise vital awareness of bowel cancer and make sure every penny raised from this challenge has gone straight to charity. They’ve made it possible for us to help other families affected by cancer and to support and represent those living with a stoma. Kate and I are honoured to be working with them and to able to show their genuine passion for making the world as accessible as possible.

Sports Personality of the Year 🏆🥹🤩🤯

Wow wow wow!! I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve you @divamagazine!! THANK YOU!! 😭🙏🏽
I am honoured to not only to be nominated for this award - alongside so many wonderful & incredible sports people - but to win it is just BEYOND!! My tiny mind is BLOWN! Is this real life?!

Congratulations:

I am so proud to have been nominated alongside you. Thank you for everything you do to make the world a better place!

Thank you to everyone who voted for this award, it means so much to me.!… and so sorry I wasn’t there to celebrate with you all. @kateholderness and I had to be on best behaviour to get ourselves ready for the @londonmarathon but our hearts were with you that night for sure. We were thinking of you all and we missed you.

I love you @roxybourdillon & my DIVA family and every thing you stand for. You make me so proud to be a part of your community and this award makes me even more determined to keep working on myself and becoming a better representative and better a person.

Sport, running & movement has helped me do that without a doubt. It keeps me focused, determined, and motivated. It’s helped me stop playing so small and trying to become the change I needed to see when I was younger. Representation matters so much and I hope this award is a sign that I’m moving in the right direction.

Thank you also to my hero @damekellyholmes. Thank you to you & @this_girl_runs for always being there for me & Kate and for everything you do to help and inspire others. You’re a huge reason that I know with hard work, anything is possible.

Thanks again @divamagazine for everything you do for me, Kate and our community And happy #lesbianvisibilityweek to you all ❤️💖👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏽 Keep shining bright ✨

Love from Adele, Kate & world record breaking stoma ‘Audrey’ 🎉 (the real sports personality 😆) xxx

🏰🏅🤯🤩👑

Got Kate to make me this reel just to prove last night really did happen!! Wowwee… I still can’t believe it!

How am I supposed to make small talk with Richard E Grant whilst waiting for The King & Queen?! My brain was MELTING… I ended up asking Richard if he’s on Strava 😂🫣… he said he’s not… yet… but he does run two miles everyday 👍🏽

Then I had to try and act normal in front of the King (who had lovely soft hands btw) and pretend I wasn’t absolutely freaking out inside. He was so lovely to me… he’s rather good at this 😄… he put me at ease straight away… and then ended the conversation asking me if I dressed up as a frog for the marathon. Haha! Ledge.
And then up next, a wonderful chat with the Queen who ended by joking that it would take her “300 hours” to do a marathon 👏🏽😄…

Both so lovely and so kind! Then I got to meet so many inspirational heroes who were being honoured at the reception and who are doing their upmost to kick cancer in the ass!!! Even though most of those people I met had been through incredibly tough times, they were still smiling, still hopeful and filled the room with their positivity, determination and dedication. Super humans! 🙌🏽🥹

I left feeling energised, motivated and inspired. Thank you ALL for the most special night. One I shall truly treasure forever and one I shall never forget.

“The very best of humanity”

Beautiful words from HRH The King.

Even though I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, and a diagnosis is a turning point from which you are changed forever… this is one of the parts of my journey that I am most grateful for. The incredible people it brings into your life.

Honoured to have been invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace honouring those affected by cancer and those who give tirelessly to help those living with cancer and their families.

That was one of the hardest parts for me, what it does to our loved ones. It meant so much to me to be in a room with some of the most inspiring, determined, gracious and courageous people I have ever met.

The King & Queen included. Reminding me at the end of it all, they’re a family who are doing their best to deal with a life changing diagnosis too and trying to help each other through.

These last few months, running the marathon at the weekend, and last night gathering was a beautiful reminder that there’s far more good in this world than bad… the power of humankind & the unstoppable human spirit ❤️

Mega Medal Monday 🤩🥹🌎

Wow!! And we’re at 97% of our fundraising target. To be honest, that’s the best medal I could ever wish for. Vital funds being raised for two incredible charities.

I couldn’t be happier or more grateful! Thank you to Team @Runna for getting me in shape for this challenge… and to every single person who has helped me & Audrey (my stoma) get here. Thanks for making these photos a reality. 6 marathons in 8months. The @wmmajors set is complete 😍. I can’t believe it 🥰

Today was WORLD CLASS 🥹🤩🌎

And even more special was to set a new Guinness World Record as the first and fastest female with a stoma to complete all 6 @wmmajors Marathons.

To do this during #bowelcancerawarenessmonth is even more special. Thank you to everyone who has helped me achieve this. This is our record and our medal! And I can’t wait to see the wonderful @lorrainekellysmith tomorrow morning on ITV’s @lorraine to celebrate and get my official certificate & time… and also to bring more awareness via her brilliant #NoButts campaign which I truly believe helped save my life 🙏🏽

I hope that if you’re worried about anything health wise or worried about getting a stoma my journey can go some way to bring you comfort. Even though my stoma is classed as a non-visible disability I truly believe it’s my super power. Without my stoma I wouldn’t be here… and even though I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone I’m truly grateful for this journey I’m on. It’s made me a better person, a more grateful person and I feel so lucky every day I get to wake up…

And I will dedicate the rest of my life to raising awareness of bowel cancer and living with a stoma. Early detection saves lives!! Please don’t fear the warning signs. Fear ignoring them… symptoms are just your body’s way of asking for help… and the sooner you seek help, the better chance you have of kicking c*ncer in the ass!!!

Top of the world!

We did it guys! We officially finished the iconic Abbotts 6 world major marathon challenge @wmmajors !! And set a new Guinness world record in the process!

I am absolutely OVER THE MOON!! And I know I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you to every single person who has helped me, supported me, sent wonderful messages and most of all donated money to @CR_UK & @AttitudeMag Foundation!

I cannot thank you enough… and thank you not only to my incredible Kate but also my family who made the trip all the way down from Southport to see me. I was AMAZED! The perfect end to the perfect day. I was missing my Mum so much during the run but seeing them let me know that my Mum was with me all the time 🥹

Congratulations to everyone who managed to finish the @londonmarathon today. On the hottest day of the year 🫠 I thought I was going to pass out… my legs are still so destroyed from the @bostonmarathon (which I did on Monday)… my right leg started cramping about half way… I’m amazed I finished 🤣😩 and little Audrey, my stoma… wow!!… to finish the marathon today… and in that heat… Auds my girl, you’re a little champion.

Once again the atmosphere of the London crowd was unparalleled… and all the runners looking out for each other, picking each other up when they needed it and cheering each other on from the bottom of their hearts. I’ve never been so proud to be from the UK. There’s so many kind hearts in this world and I feel very lucky to have run alongside you today.

Even though it was tough today and my legs hurt right from the start, my feet & my stoma were bleeding, I’ve never been so inspired. Every single step I took, every bit of pain I felt in my body was an absolutely privilege. What an amazing day. I’ll treasure it forever. Buzzing I also got to chat to the wonderful @gabbylogan & @bbcsport too… 🤩🥰… Wow!! What a dream?!

We really did it! #wefinishedtogether

To be honest now I’ve tried it. I wouldn’t recommend having just 6 days between two major marathons plus a transatlantic flight to recover from… and a very naughty stoma thrown in for good measure… but here we are 🤣🤪😫

Praying Audrey doesn’t prolapse again and hoping these things help to scrape me off the floor haha 🙏🏽

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has been sending messages of support or donating. I ❤️ you more than you could ever know! You’re keeping me going! Knowing how much money we are raising for the chosen charities is filling my heart with joy! You are changing and saving lives! I can’t thank you enough.

There’s a link in my bio if you can help. Every single penny goes directly to the charities themselves and I am so grateful to you for your help. I will run my heart out for you all on Sunday. My bib number is 38551 if you’d like to see how I get on. Thank you so much! Xx

Ps. Any last minute advice for DOMS would be greatly appreciated thank you 🤗

@Runna is Boston Strong🔥🏅

Team Runna have done it again! Not only did my Katie get a new PB in the 5K 🤩🥳🥹 Proud of you @kateholderness !! But I also managed to get 2nd fastest time I’ve ever run in a marathon… and that was on the hardest course I’ve ever tackled 🤪☺️ Those Boston rolling hills are no joke!

Using the Runna app has absolutely transformed my training, helped me learn how to get the best out of my body and has even helped Kate learn how to love running too… it’s a miracle worker! 😂🤣… which is good because I’ve only got 6 days to recover for the London Marathon this Sunday. 😬🤞🏽

If all goes to plan not only will all of the world marathon majors that I’ve run over the past few months be the fastest of my life, I’ll also be able to set a new Guinness World Record as the fastest female with a stoma to complete all 6 🥹🙏🏽

What an honour that would be if it happens! During #bowelcancerawarenessmonth too! It would blow my mind!! And hopefully bring hope and comfort to those living with cancer or a stoma ❤️

Either way, thank you for getting me into the shape of my life team Runna and for helping me achieve the challenge of a lifetime.

Only 2 more sleeps to go xx

From Hopkinton to Wellesley, Heartbreak Hill to Boylston… everything I dreamed it would be and more 🤩

Thank you to Dylan, Sarah-Jo, Emma for helping me on the way… and to all of the runners, supporters and volunteers for such an incredible day. This run will stay in my heart forever!

Thanks also to Dylan for the best advice… “bank energy, not time”… those rolling hills really take it out of your legs! Praying I’ve got enough left in me to run the @londonmarathon this Sunday 🤞🏽

Thank you again @bostonmarathon. Chasing unicorns has never been so fun 🦄🏅🏃🏽‍♀️

This is your sign. “Never give up” 🥹🙏🏽

Posting this here in case you needed to see this today…. And for anyone like me, absolutely bricking it about running the @londonmarathon this weekend. ME TOO 😫😭

I’m terrified. I keep doubting myself. I keep getting so overwhelmed. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I keep asking myself why I thought I could do it… especially 6 days after running the Boston Marathon… my legs are BATTERED. I can barely walk… I keep frantically googling how to get rid of DOMS 😫 Im praying I don’t have a prolapse again… and due to the flight home on Tuesday… my body and face are bloated AF. I look like a massive sausage 😂 A big cry baby sausage haha…

But then I have a word with myself, calm down and try to I remember what’s possible. What I’ve done before…. The version of me in the photo above would have some serious words with me.

The photo above is me finishing the London Marathon in 2023… the photo that started this journey I’m currently on.

That photo is 18months after waking up in a hospital bed - just having had surgery for bowel cancer
That photo is 18 months after getting a stoma. Learning how to walk again, then shuffling … then running
12 months after finishing chemotherapy…
a treatment that ravaged my body, damaged my hands and feet and something I’m still recovering from today.

In that photo I was bloated, aching, my feet were bleeding and my body & stoma hurting so much… but I still did it. My body was fragile but my mind was so strong. I was so determined - I was determined to show what’s possible post cancer and with a stoma - and that was the thing that got me through. I knew that as soon as my feet crossed the start line I wouldn’t give up until they reached the finish. I didn’t know if I could finish but I knew I would give it my all. All I had was hope & faith.

Cheers Boston 🍻

No wonder they call it “The city of kind hearts” 🙌🏽💙💛

I can’t even put into words how amazing the @BostonMarathon was. Woweee! The history, the hills… and without a doubt the Bostonian hospitality. A welcome like no other… and a city so strong. BOSTON STRONG!

Kate and I have loved every minute in your company. Thank you for the most wonderful time… and even though the Newton Hills / Heartbreak Hill nearly ended me… and my quads are shredded 🤪🤣 I feel incredibly lucky to have run your iconic course. Chasing the unicorn was NEXT LEVEL 🤩🦄! I’m so so proud of this medal - Wow! …it’s stunning, it’s a beauty! It’s so special - It’s made of magic!

I hope that magic stays with me… because I’m absolutely bricking it about running the London Marathon this Sunday 😆😩… I just don’t want to let anyone down… but as I’ve learned on this journey to all 6 stars… pain is a privilege. It’s a privilege to be alive and to feel. I’m lucky… and no matter how much my legs hurt and how knackered I feel, I will give it my all. I promise you that. Run, walk or crawl I will finish.

I’m in awe of this body and what my little stoma ‘Audrey’ can do… 6 marathons in 8 months… with many flights and prolapses in between… but if things go to plan… Audrey will set a new Guinness World Record on the streets of London this weekend 🤞🏽🥹 and I will be so so proud!

For everyone who’s been affected by cancer, for their family and friends…
and for everyone living with a stoma… Audrey and I will do this for you. We promise to give it our all… and we will carry you in our hearts right to the end ❤️

Only 5 more sleeps to go 🙏🏽

Oh hang on… Kate’s just told me it’s actually 4… FML 😂😭

Cheers Boston 🍻

BOSTON 🇺🇸

Fun, food & a 5K 🤩

Wow what a city?! Boston has been transformed into a runners paradise, more runners than cars on the roads at the moment… the atmosphere is incredible!!… but I’m absolutely bricking it! 😂 Everyone seems like an elite runner here. They’re all built like machines and look like they eat marathons for breakfast! Haha… OMG… I’m out of my depth… I’m defo going to be bringing up the rear at the @bostonmarathon 😄 but I promise to give this my all.

Thank you to the wonderful lady who I met on Friday. She told me all about her beautiful son who like me also had a stoma. Sadly her beautiful boy is no longer with us. He was only 16… Meeting that amazing lady and hearing all about her son reminded me of why I’m doing this. I promised her I would give it my all tomorrow and do her and her son proud. I’m also going to write his name down and carry him with me.

If you are reading this and you or a family member has a stoma, or have been affected by cancer, and would like to donate a name for me to write down and carry… it would be my honour. There’s a link in my bio if you can help or would like to donate a name.
Tomorrow… I run for us all ❤️

1. Tricorn
2. Am I in the hotel from The Shining?
3. I wondered why Kate made me have my photo here
4. Running the Boston 5K with my Katie ❤️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️
5. We did it! 🎊🏅🏅
6. Starstuck! Got to meet the incredible @klabera.ko from @dancingonice outside of the @runna hub. What a woman?! Klabera is also running the marathon on Monday 🙌🏽
7. When in doubt, roll it out 😆 Still got a dodgy right hip. Praying it behaves tomorrow
8. The food here is IMMENSE! Brioche Lobster roll, with clam chowder and a bacon & scallops skewer with rice. NEXT LEVEL!! 😋 Which was mine & which was Kate’s 🤔
9. Took Audrey to the pool 👙

That Boston Welcome 🙌🏽

Wow wow wow!! Thank you to Alexa & the whole Boston crew for the such an incredible WELCOME! Pom poms & CHEERS included 🤩🎊

You have helped me more than you can imagine. The nearer we get to the end of this challenge the more terrified I seem to be getting. I guess it’s because it means so much to me.

Thank you @britishairwaysholidays for everything you’ve done to help us on our quest to complete the 6 Major Marathons of the world. Thank you for helping show what’s possible post cancer and living with a stoma. I know it’s part of your mission to empower everyone to travel around the world with NO BARRIERS! As someone with a non-visible disability it’s been one of the greatest honours of my life to experience the top level of care from your dedicated team and meet people so passionate about helping others. Seeing what you do up close is an absolute privilege.

Thanks to you we’ve been able to raise vital funds for two brilliant charities who are changing and saving lives. We couldn’t have wished for a better experience. You are truly world class! And I promise to do my best to run both the Boston & London marathons over the next week... I hope to complete the challenge and do you all proud.

We couldn’t have done it with you. Thank you! We ❤️ you 🫶🏽

If you can help, share or donate in anyway it would mean the world (link in bio). I really hope to get as close to my fundraising goal as much as possible…. & to do this during April,#BowelCancerAwareness month, would be the greatest medal I could ever wish for 🙏🏽

I’m raising money for @cr_uk & @attitudemag Foundation. Two charities who are without a doubt changing & SAVING lives.

Thank you to every beautiful and kind soul who has donated already. Your support means more than you could ever know. Cancer is a team effort and I know that together we can kick its ass and send it packing! I hope for a future where no family has to lose a loved one to this terrible disease.

Colder than a penguins pocket… 😂

Thank you to the incredible team at @getadrip for getting me & Kate marathon ready ⚡️🤩

Well… me to run 🏃🏽‍♀️ and Kate to cheer 🎉🤣 not long to go until I hopefully finish the iconic 6 star World Marathon Majors challenge.
6 Marathons in 8 months.
The final two marathons within 6 days 🫠
@bostonmarathon a week today & @londonmarathon a week on Sunday. 🏅

We got the best advice from the team today. Marathon prep is on! Our visit included compression therapy, a high quality vitamin energy booster… and then 3 minutes of cryotherapy… at -87 degrees…

I’ve never felt anything like it, it was like being inside a limitless pill. Every single sense on full beam! All the feelings all at once. What a rush?!! I’ve never felt so present and ALIVE!!!

One of the hardest things about being on chemotherapy is the loss, erasure and dulling of the senses. Cryotherapy turned them and me right back up again!

It’s given me the biggest boost for the Boston & London double. And even though Kate got out early we’re both sat here absolutely fizzing & buzzing… from every single cell.

What a way to start the day?! Couple’s cryotherapy for the win! Haha

“April is a moment of joy for those who have survived the winter.”

A real pinch me moment. Something I never dreamed of. To be on the cover of ‘Women’s Running Magazine’ is beyond my wildest dreams.

Thank you thank you thank you!!… to you and your team Esther! I am truly honoured and I am also so grateful for all you are doing to help raise awareness of bowel cancer and living with a stoma. Visibility of both is so important. I also hope to show what’s possible post cancer. How I’m trying to get my life back on track. Reclaiming my body from cancer and dealing mentally with the trauma. Movement is medicine.

I couldn’t have asked to be featured in a better month too. April, the month of #BowelCancerAwareness and hopefully the month where I will finish my challenge of running all 6 Major Marathons of the world (within 8 months - finishing with Boston & London in the same week 🫨😬) and setting a new Guinness World Record as the ‘fastest (and quite possibly the first) woman to complete all 6 marathons with a stoma.

There is a link in my bio if you can help, donate or share this challenge in anyway.

Women’s Running Magazine is out now.

I used one of my training runs to run to Waitrose and get my copy 😂 it’s the best medal I ever got 🥹🏅

I wish my Mum could see this… well I hope she can. She’s the angel that’s kept me going through all of this. When I doubt myself, when it hurts, when I feel like I can’t go on she’s the strength that keeps me going. Run, walk or crawl I will do my best to do everyone proud. For all those living with cancer and their families and for every single beautiful soul who has helped me along the way. I carry you in my heart and it’s thanks to you that I’m so happy on that cover.

Everyday I get to wake up is a blessing. Every day I get to run is a privilege.
Every single penny that has been donated is saving and changing lives.
Cancer is a team effort and together WE can keep kicking its ass!!!

Thank you xxx (credits in the comments)

Soho House 10K | East meets West ❤️

Todays 10K reminding me of how running brings people together and even though we all have our own stories, goals, ambitions and journeys - we run as one 🫶🏽

Gorgeous morning with the Strava & Soho House crews. One team running from Shoreditch House (EAST) & and the other running from White City House (WEST)… completing 10K where we met in the middle at 180 House. Such a sick idea! I was lucky enough to run with Team East - the route was stunning - over Tower bridge, along the Southbank, past the Houses of Parliament, towards Trafalgar Square and then up The Strand finishing at Soho House’s new fabulous health club. It’s pristine, so chic, smelled amazing… and it’s MASSIVE! Like a big boujis tardis! 😍😄

Thank you for a great morning @frazzzle 🤙 @amy.s.foo & @amritpalghatora Always amazing energy with you guys and I loved meeting so many new inspirational people. Even more excited for the @londonmarathon now 🥰

Such an amazing morning with @milesjnazaire & @temp_tation… at the @lifeing_club x @lululemoneurope Notting Hill bike rave 🤩🎉🚴🏽‍♀️

Such good energy!! Which I’m not surprised about. Pretty much sums you lads up. Always living life to the full and absolutely smashing it 👏🏽🙌🏽 Loved seeing you both again today

I was so nervous, I couldn’t sleep last night. I don’t know why I’m like this... This was my first time at a spin class. I’ve always avoided things like to be honest… because I guess I’m still very insecure…. The old me is very much still in here and I get intimidated by fitness hotties and their activities 🫣😄 It always feels like everyone knows what they’re doing… when I totally don’t. But I had a word with myself, gave it a try and I’m so glad I did!

Thanks for one of the best hours I’ve spent in a long time @aanya.h I don’t know how you take the class, do all the moves… sing, dance, give us affirmations and DJ all at the same time… all without even breaking a sweat. You’re super woman!

Thanks for making my first time so enjoyable… who knew thigh burns and booty popping could be such fun?! Today’s sesh going straight on my Strava 😂

1. Miles ❤️
2. Good good energy 😍✨🥰
3. Absolutely bricking it
4. Kate said it looks like I’ve forgotten my trainers for PE and I’ve got to wear my school shoes 😂😂 (those shoes are actually still stuck to my exercise bike. I couldn’t get them off 😆🫣
5. Borrowed (stole) Kate’s Coach coat 🧥
6. Lululemon write your name on the dressing rooms! Got way to excited 🤭
7. This red 😍❤️🔥
8. Post class matcha 🍵 (also look like I work at Five Guys haha)
9. Amazing day. Feeling super grateful.

GO GO TOKYO 🇯🇵 We can’t sum Tokyo up in a caption…it was like nowhere we’ve ever been before but felt like everywhere SHOULD be like this! Where tradition meets the future, where old meets new… it feels like it was all the most incredible dream and we didn’t want to wake up! Thank you for making us feel so welcome ☺️🇯🇵 one trip isn’t enough!
…and it’s the most accessible city we’ve visited so far, especially for ostomates! Tokyo prides itself on being “A city that is accessible everywhere to anyone” for travellers & it truly was. Seeing their dedication to people with visible & non-visible disabilities - making us feel included & understood - made it even more special to run the marathon here for Cancer Research UK & The Attitude Magazine Foundation and raise awareness for living with a stoma.

That’s marathon 4 out of 6 of this challenge and it’s all proudly supported & #gifted by the incredible @britishairwaysholidays who are not only extremely passionate about inclusion and accessibility but also empower people every day to see the world with no barriers ☺️ ❤️💙
Until we meet again Tokyo…🇯🇵

Team Runna x Tokyo ❤️

Today’s #MedalMonday is dedicated to the brilliant Team at @Runna. Thanks to you, @kateholderness and I are now proud parents to two matching baby medals… 😍 hers & hers haha!🏅🏅

Without you there is NO WAY we’d have been able to have such fun running together in Tokyo. I think the Tokyo Friendship Run 5K was my favourite race so far. Getting to run by my Kate’s side filled me with such immense pride. I was so happy I could have cried. My heart was so full 🥹🥰

I also couldn’t have run the 4 world marathon majors so far… as fast as I have. Thanks to you Runna, they are the 4 fastest marathons I’ve ever run in my life… 🤯 and I didn’t even have to think about it… all I have to do is tell the app what I want to achieve and it works out a plan especially for me. It’s so sick. No matter your desires, goals or needs it will adapt to you. Both Kate and I have used the app to train for our running in Tokyo. Me for the marathon and Kate to take on her first official 5K race.

We couldn’t have done it without you! Kate even said today, “imagine how fast you could be if you knew what you were doing” haha! She’s right! Excited to see where this journey takes me. The Boston & London marathon double are up next… which will both be run in the same week… at the end of April… & with flights in between… and if I manage to carry on the way I’m going. I’ll also set a new Guinness world record as the fastest woman with a stoma run all 6 marathon majors! Wow! Whether that happens or not I’m just so proud to be running again post cancer and with my amazing little power house - my little running machine ‘Audrey’ the fastest stoma I know 😂🤣 - she’s my hero 🤩🙌🏽

Use code ‘ADELE’ if you’d like to give Runna a try and you can see all the insights and stats from my run on my Strava. My fastest two miles were my last - it’s incredible! #AD

Legs, head, heart

Wonderful advice from @a.culling that has served me well. Run the first part of the marathon with your legs, the second with your head and the last bit with your heart…

I think today was ALL HEART 😍 I didn’t have the best start this morning. I’m really starting to notice the effects of flying on my body and my stoma. The 13 hour flight here and the time difference really took its toll. I’ve had the most incredible time here.. but as you can see from the stats.. since we landed on Tuesday my body has been losing it’s tiny mind 😆🤪 I’ve got an app which tracks my bio data. If you swipe you can see my readings from this morning 😳🫠🫥 WTAF?!

My body’s been struggling ever since we landed. I also got woken up at 1am this morning by Audrey (my stoma) kicking off her stoma bag and emptying all of last night’s carb load all over me. So I essentially started the day hand washing my pyjamas and trying not to wake Kate 😖🙃. This seems to be her new pre-marathon ritual 🫣I had 3hrs sleep. I thought this is it, this is the one where the wheels finally come off.

I’ll be honest. I was absolutely terrified of today… but seeing the sad news of Angie Stone’s passing,.. I knew I had to at least try. What I was experiencing was nothing compared to what her family and friends are going through… I also remembered the reason I’m doing this… to raise awareness of bowel cancer… again… this is NOTHING compared to the effects of what cancer does to us and our families and friends.

The thought of that spurred me on. Cancer can get in the f*cking bin! The generosity of so many who have kindly donated to @cr_uk & @attitudemag and supported me & Audrey (my stoma) on this challenge of running the 6 major marathons of the world is all I need. Wild horses couldn’t have stopped me. I knew I’d give it my all.

Thank you for inspiring me and keeping me going… to my family & friends who stayed up in the UK to keep me going. I love you, Lois, Tallulah & Lola 🥹 I know Mum was with me - thank you for reminding me 🙏🏽🕊️and thank you to my hero Kate who has been with me every step of the way.

Ps. Harry Styles photo bomb in the last pic 🤩

Incredible day with @kateholderness at the Tokyo 5K Friendship Run.

I am so proud of you Kate. I know how nervous you were about today. I know how much you don’t ’feel’ like a runner. But you turned up, faced your fears, gave it your very best and absolutely smashed it. Believe me, you’re everything this sport represents to me and more.

It was so wonderful to see the range of people at the run today. So many people of all differnt ages, backgrounds & abilities - coming together from all around the world. Everyone supporting each other, cheering each other on and most of all having fun.

So many people told me how wonderful Tokyo is but I didn’t know it would be this amazing. Not only are they the most polite, organised, welcoming, kind and friendly people… they’re also so accommodating to ostomates and people with disabilities.

Thank you to every single person who has helped us get here. Right from my diagnosis with bowel cancer to getting a stoma.. and eventually being well enough to run again. Everyone single kind soul who has supported us or donated to this challenge.

I aim to run the 6 major marathons of the world to help raise vital awareness of bowel cancer and to celebrate living life with a stoma. Even though my training hasn’t gone to plan this time, to be honest, I’m scared and I don’t know if I can do it… the thought of you will power me through.

Knowing every penny donated will go straight to two incredible charities: @CR_UK & @AttitudeMag Foundation… is motivation enough…
(There is a link in my bio if you’d like to find out more or if you can help in anyway. Thank you!)

So tomorrow, I take on the 4th major marathon of this challenge… and when it gets tough, and I doubt myself (like I always do…) when I need to dig deep… I will channel the courage you showed today Kate. And I will give it my all… and I will run to you with everything I have.

I hope it goes well, but whatever happens, I must remember that it’s a privilege to get to do this. It’s a privilege to be alive.

Kate and I are also celebrating our 21 year anniversary.
Today is the greatest day.
Feels like my birthday too 🥹

I knew the moment I laid eyes on you that I would love you forever. It is the privilege of my life to be right by your side.

I hope this next year brings you all you wish for a more. You deserve it… and I will be with you every step of the way.

Always ❤️

World Cancer Day

Today’s training run is dedicated to all those affected by cancer and their loved ones.

@kateholderness and I know first hand how incredibly tough a diagnosis can be… but we also know that there are so many angels all around us who tirelessly help others in their time of need.

Thank you to the incredible NHS, cancer charities and those who are able to share their stories and give hope to others. You make this world a better place.

This is the very reason Audrey (my stoma) and I are taking on the challenge of running the 6 major marathons of the world. To raise as much awareness as possible of living with cancer, living with a stoma and what’s possible post diagnosis and treatment.

Running has been my mobile medicine. It’s helped me stay focused, positive and determined when I was going through treatment. It helped me physically & mentally. Chemotherapy can be so harsh on the body… I felt like I was slowly being erased… running helped me hold onto my identity. It helped me to remain strong spiritually.

Kate is also challenging herself to run the Tokyo 5K. I am so so proud of her because I know how hard it is to start running, stick to a plan and stay motivated. Respect to anyone who takes on the challenge of a race. It’s scary but it’s so rewarding.

There’s not a day that goes by that I am not truly grateful. To get another chance to wake up. To get a second chance at life.

To those going through a tough time. I promise you that you are in my heart every step of the way during this challenge and I hope you know that you are not alone.

Kate and I like to make regular donations to the fund and we thank every single generous, kind soul who has been able to donate alongside us too. No matter how big or small. You’re all making a huge difference to people’s lives.

There’s a link to the challenge in my bio if you can help, share or donate.

Either way, thank you for reading this. We promise to represent you all with pride at our next stop. Tokyo marathon we shall see you soon.

Sharks can run now 🦈🏃🏽‍♀️

Loving the new running apparel from Gym Shark. It’s sick 🕶️ It fits so nicely over Audrey (my stoma) and lots of lovely details in the clothing. The sports bra is NEXT LEVEL 🙌🏽 Probably the comfiest one I’ve worn and it’s got a fastener at the back so you don’t have to wrestle with it to get it on 🤼‍♀️ Getting trapped in sports bras is my worst 😩🫣😂

The kit arrived just in time for my final run of Jan 🖤 Gonna wait until dark and then take the UV light out on a mad one 🤣🔦

A challenge I can get behind! Always love a good shop run 😄 🏃 🛒 and now even more more motivated thanks to @Waitrose

Introducing The Magnificent #30PlantswithWaitrose challenge ✨
The more diverse our diet, the better it is for our gut microbiome. Something I’m so passionate about. A happy tummy is a happy mind and healthy body! This is something I’m even more aware of as I continue to work on my health, recover from bowel cancer and look after my little stoma - the very cheeky Audrey!
As anyone with a stoma knows, digesting plants can be tricky and hard to balance so I’m always looking for good ways to fuel my body and top up on nature’s goodness!

Absolutely LOVED this challenge! Not only could I incorporate it easily into my marathon training but it also gave me a little boost knowing I was getting a wonderful edible medal at the end of it!

There’s so much help from #Waitrose online and in store look out for the recipe ideas and green labels…
Plus, all of these food groups count:
🍎 Fruit
🥦 Vegetables
🌾 Whole grains
🫘 Legumes
🥜 Nuts & seeds
🌶 Herbs & spices

SO MANY COMBOS 😍 😋
and buzzing that dark chocolate, with over 70% cocoa, counts too 🍫 Can’t wait to play again!
I’m so here for this!
Happy gaming everyone 🎉

So proud to be an ambassador of this range!… and I hope showing some more of the detailing helps. Especially, if like me, you have a stoma as want to know how high the waist bands are and how they fit etc… I’ve put a full run down below of some of the features people have been asking about.

Some of these wonderful items are #gifted and some items I bought myself because I’m a Primark Stan and I need it all 😂 I’m partly blaming @abbiewood1 - she told me about the oatmeal v shaped set and I couldn’t stop thinking about it haha. I actually went on a run the other day to go and ‘check out it’ and in the end I had to buy it… and get the bus home in my full running gear 🤣

Ok, some of the finer details here. Hope this helps xx

1. Black visor - removable inner sweatband for easy washing
2. Green leggings - cute hidden pocket in waistband perfect for locker kets etc…
3. Grey workout jacket - the tailoring on this is so good! Mesh panel on back along with & dart detail for a gorgeous fit.
4. Grey workout leggings - phone pocket & drawstrings
5. Oatmeal workout set - gorgeous soft material. You need to feel this set! Stunning. It’s also very supportive for my stoma due to the sleek v shaped crossover design.
6. Black workout shorts with phone pocket. Perfect for runners 👌🏽
7. Cropped stone zip up cropped top with thumb hole detail
8. Cute black bum bag with plenty of compartments for storage. We paired this with the clipable purse accessory in black - comes in different colours

#UnstoppableYOU

Today was an absolute dream. I never imagined a day like this was possible. It’s not so long ago that I was a very different person. Lots of bad habits, overweight and very unhealthy… both inside and out. It took me a long time and a lot of love and patience from Kate to help me start to make a change… but bit by bit I did it.

Step by step. Literally. It all started with walking… every day… and then eventually I wanted to make a commitment to myself so I bought clothes that I could exercise in. The first place I went was #Primark.

They had good quality fitness clothing that i could afford, felt comfortable in and didn’t feel embarrassed. I’ll be honest, I shopped in the men’s bit at first because I felt so self conscious. I wanted baggy clothes so I could hide away while I worked on myself.

If I could have told myself then that I’d manage to make a change and I’d be in the window of Primark in the future… I wouldn’t have believed it! And in their active range too… and that active wear… that then helped me become that person in the window… it’s blowing my mind. Ifs like some form of inception haha…. Just goes to show that with the right mindset ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Today was amazing. Not only being able to share the gorgeous collection with everyone, but also being able to give out gift cards and goodies to some of the shoppers in store. You never know, those gift cards just might help someone else make that change they want to make too.

Thank you to everyone who came to say hi today… and huge thank you to Bryony, Courtney & Abbie. I’m so so proud to stand alongside you.

OH… and the white jacket I keep getting asked about. I’m told on good authority that it’s going to be in stores very soon. I shall keep you posted!

✨ New year, who dis?!… 😄🙃

This year is all about trying to become the best version of myself. The glow up is real 🤩 Well, it’s loading! Kate and I have decided to stop just talking and thinking about things and actually do them instead… excited to see what happens!

Now we have our minds right, we’re getting our clothes right too. Starting the year with a bang as part of the incredible @primark Performance #UnstoppableYOU campaign. It goes further than the clothing, it’s a mindset, it’s a feeling, it’s empowering. I’m so inspired by everyone involved in this. Please check out their stories. They’ll fire you up for sure…

@bryonygordon
@courtneydblack
@abbiewood1
@mrashleycain
@keeganhirst
@aadam.hamed

And make sure you check out the range… it’s STUNNING! As someone who used to be very different and not look after myself, I now understand the importance and power of self care.

This range is quality - so many lovely details on the items… it’s designed for fitness and performance… and looks 🔥😍 That white jacket 🤍 I’m in love! I’m also so happy how the range fits little Audrey (my stoma)… thank you to #Primark for including ostomates as part of this too. Seeing Audrey in shop windows and on displays makes me incredibly PROUD! 🥹🙌🏽Representation is so important. It means a lot. Thank you!

Primark was the first place I went when I first started to get fit because I knew it would have pieces I could afford. I think that’s so important when you start to make a change. As few barriers as possible… so if you can look good and feel good, it’s a great place to start to help you change your mindset and change your life.

Lets do this 🎉🎉 #AD

There’s not a day goes by that I don’t think of you or miss you Mum.

I’ve been dreading today, it’s a year since my Mum passed away. Christmas & NY were tough enough but today is another level.

I truly understand now what it means to lose a parent. Thinking of everyone missing their loved ones at this time of year. It hurts so so much… but at the same time I’m clinging on to the hope that my Mum knows how loved she is and that we’re all thinking of her.

This has also reminded me of the depths of human kindness. My family, my Katie and my loved ones have been incredible. I’m feeling very grateful to not be going through this alone.

I also want to say the biggest thank you to @markhanretty and the incredible team at @dancingonice who were there for me a year ago today. Thank you for looking after me and getting me through. Thank you for being my family while I was away from my family. I missed them and needed them so much but you kept me going. I’ll never forget what you did for me. You’re such good people and what an amazing, genuinely lovely show.

Hopefully it all makes sense now if I seemed over emotional in the first week…My first performance was the same week as my Mum’s funeral. I felt so scared. All I wanted to do was try my best and make her proud. I kept thinking “what am I going?!” I’m not a dancer, or a performer or even a skater 🙃 but thanks to Mark and the whole DOI team we were able to do a routine that hopefully showed my Mum how much I loved her. She only saw a rehearsal video and never got to see the full thing. Every single movement was sent to heaven for you Mum.

I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad today and I’m trying my best to keep going each day and do you proud. I love you more than words can say.

Until we meet again 🌹
