Most people pack far too much when trekking or racing but you can actually have a great (and better!) experience if you go light. Not to mention faster and easier. My new blog (link in bio) details the kit I took for the Three Passes Trek in Nepal which, with a generous allowance, weighed in at around 7kg including some food. Most trekkers we met had probably three times this but why? 🤷‍♀️🤔 If you’re one of these people, check how you can go lighter next time! 😊 This kit list is appropriate for similar treks in the Himalayas as well as for those of you racing @everesttrailrace or a similar multi-stage mountain race in this region (shave off some unnecessary luxuries from this list if you race to get your pack closer to 5 kilos and always check the mandatory race equipment). 📸-> @sondreamdahl . . . . . #travel #adventure #nepal #himalayas #trekking #trailrunning #fastandlight #fastpacking #fasthiking #travelblogger #myracekit #outdoorgear #packlight #travellight
Now, and for the next couple of months is the perfect time to head to Nepal! I have just published a travel blog about the epic Three Passes Trek which @sondreamdahl and I did in November 2018. Head over to my blog (link in bio) to read! . . . . . #nepal #travel #adventure #himalayas #travelblogger #fasthiking #trekking #fastandlight #myracekit #trailrunner #mountains #everest

Thanks for the great organisation and to everyone who came and made it such a fun and inspiring day! 🙏😀 See you in the big sandpit in April!🐪🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ 📸-> @becksferry . . . . . #speaking #speaker #expo #mds2020 #marathondessables #runnerslife #running #ultrarunning #stagerace #desertrunning #sahara #london #coach #ultracoach #myracekit

Back running in Tunisian Sahara. It was amazing to be back in the desert! Unfortunately it wasn’t my day. I felt very good during the first 25km, started more conservatively than last year, and ran in a great group. However, due to a combination of factors I decided to call it the day after 35km. My legs pretty much stopped working and I felt like I would have expected to feel after double the distance. Possible contributions was the extreme and sudden heat as we turned off the road into the sand. In any case, sometimes it’s just not the day. 🤷‍♀️ Congratulations to everyone who finished in these tough and very hot conditions! 👏👏👏 Thanks @ultramirage100k for having us! 🙏😊🐪 📸-> @iancorlessphotography . . . . . #desertrunning #sahara #running #runners #ultrarunning #umed100k #runnersofinstagram #hot #africa #tunisia #runnerslife #adventure
No matter how much time I have to get ready, I never seem to have enough! My wedding day was no exception but somehow I pulled it together. This was about 2 minutes before walking out in the cold to get to our beautiful outside venue. The guests were already seated so I couldn’t keep them waiting any longer 😂🥶.

By popular demand.... a lot of people asked what shoes I wore for my wedding. Well, here you go! It was freezing cold for the ceremony outside and involved walking on some trails with roots and rocks. Still, you want to look somewhat glamorous for your wedding so I chose a pair of pink boots! 😬. Then I swapped into white peep toe shoes for the evening 😊 📸-> @iancorlessphotography . . . . . #wedding #outdoorwedding #bröllop #vigsel #swedishlapland #saltoluokta #stfturist #pinkboots #weddingshoes #trail #kungsleden
