Welcome to Nicola Runs! Exploring the world one run, or race, at a time!

I'm Nicola Forwood, I love running and being outside. From parkrun to 100 milers, I love it all! From track to trail I want to share with you as many types of race format as I can. It's great to know there are so many incredible places to run, and so many different types of races to try. I've over ten years experience podcasting about parkrun and am proud to be one of the first 100 parkrunners in the world to join the 500 club.

I have been run-streaking (running every day) for over 5 years. Run-streaking helped me stay sane after my 38 year old husband died of a brain tumour. His death left me a widow, at 31, and single parent to our 2 year old Poppy.

I’m always taking on crazy running challenges because, unless you push yourself, you will never find out what you are capable of! Come with me, and let's explore parkrunworld and beyond, because life is short and the world is big!
