Stop London Marathon Sulking

November 12, 2015

I remember very clearly the confusion I felt at my friend's jealousy of those running the London Marathon. She'd not got a place and would've given anything to join them, instead she was fated to sulk the whole week before the race...

Top 5 Gross Things Every Runner Should Learn

November 10, 2015

Running isnt pretty. You huff and puff until youre beetroot red and soaked through with stinky sweat and the occasional tear. Unfortunately, it seems to get worse. The more Ive run the further and longer Ive gone the more disgusting skills Ive...

Scared to Safety when Running at Night!

November 04, 2015

It’s something, certainly as a female who runs on her own in the dark, I’ve acknowledged but always tried to not think about. You hear warnings and horror stories but you don’t ever expect anything bad to happen to you. And...

Have Fun and Run on Bonfire Night!

November 04, 2015

Unless I have someone breathing down my neck, screaming instructions, I find intervals hard. I’m sure I’m not alone. They hurt! And when you know that, it’s difficult to inflict that pain on yourself. Alas, you won’t get fast without...

Choosing your friends

October 22, 2015

It seems to have been the only reasonable explanation to my non-running friends as to why I wanted to run an ultra-marathon. “I’ve fallen into a bad crowd”, I explained with my tongue firmly in my cheek. Who hasn't been encouraged...

Sleeping Through the Extra Hour

October 22, 2015

I’m tired. It’s simple as that. It’s that time of year again when darkness seems to creep up on us. We go to work and return in the dark, barely seeing a spot of sun for months. It’s tiring! Everyone seems...

The Art of being a Pacemaker

October 21, 2015

I’ve never been one for number watching. My PBs are simple rewards for gradually becoming a better runner. I’ll run on feel, rather than tirelessly calculating splits and squeezing seconds out of miles. I collect stories, friends and photos rather than...

Getting out of your comfort zone

September 22, 2015

It’s hard being the s**t runner. Not least because you end up so soul-destroyingly far behind, that you start to tell yourself you’re s**t. You knew running in this group would stretch your comfort zone, you didn’t realise you’d end...

Don't stick with what you know.

Know your local loop like the back of your hand? Reckon you could bash out a local 5k with your eyes closed? Keep track of your mileage with familiar landmarks? You should get lost. Running should be a joy, a means...

A Simple Hello.

September 16, 2015

I was cautiously fresh from injury with my first half marathon on the horizon. I’d woken up early to enjoy the sunrise on the coast and attempt a long, (fingers crossed) pain free run during a weekend away. Half an hour...

How Naked is Too Naked?

August 13, 2015

It’s hot. The type of hot that could melt the rubber off your shoes or dry your mouth out in an instant and the smell of tarmac bubbling in the heat fills the air. You didn’t think about the summer training...

Training with Music. Should you?

Training with music. A lot of runners, sports people and gym-goers wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without their trusted companion – the headphones. But does training with music help or is it a hindrance? Should running with music be banned in all...

Why I love Half Marathons

August 01, 2015

It’s a fresh season of half marathon running. Half marathons are so much more manageable than marathon running. At half the distance it slots in with running your own business. I feel it is conducive to good performance in the office, a...

The Art of the Sunday Run.

The Sunday Run is a staple in all runners diets. As a runner growing up I was immediately introduced to the mythical activity of the Sunday Run! Some weeks were longer than others but every Sunday morning I would meet my training...
