I’ve been running several times over the last few weeks, partly in training for the London Winter Run 10k, and partly just to get outside and clear my head when things get busy! However, it is always much harder for asthmatics running in the winter as the cold weather tends to affect our breathing – I quite often … More Show me your #Scarfie
What makes you HAPPY? For 2017, I have chosen this word as my “word of the year” (last year’s was FOCUS if you’re interested). I intend for it to help me let go of the trivial things that can bring me down, appreciate all the great things I have in my life, and consider whether … More My word for 2017: Happy
As 2016 comes to a close, I find myself in a very different place now to when I started the year. From completing two long distance cycling races, to taking up kettlebells and strength training, to being 10 months into a relationship with an amazing guy – 2016 has definitely been full of surprises! It’s great to … More A Look Back at 2016
It wouldn’t be December without a festive race to end the year, and it’s become a bit of a tradition for that to be the RunThrough Greenwich Park 5k. It’s so fantastically well organised and with a great festive atmosphere, that even though I had been feeling significantly under the weather the last few days … More Greenwich Park Christmas 5k
At the end of November, I headed to Canterbury for a long weekend. We stayed at the Camping and Caravanning site just on the outskirts of the city, in one of their ReadyCamp facilities. They are large permanent tents, complete with a bed, table and chairs and a mini kitchen area. It was a great … More ReadyCamping in Canterbury
Christmas is nearly here, and the end of 2016 is creeping up on me far quicker than I would like sometimes! It’s been a pretty manic few months with lots of developments in my personal life, which has meant blogging hasn’t been top of my priority list. However, I’m looking forward to getting organised and … More Christmas Fitness Gift Guide (and giveaway)
Considering what to eat and when for exercise can be complicated – too little fuel and your body won’t be able to function at it’s peak during the workout, too much and you’ll struggle with cramps, bloating and generally feeling sick and sluggish. Supporting your body with what it needs before, during and after activity … More Fuelling for Fitness with Lifebox and Energy Snacks
Over the winter it can be hard to keep cycling, with bad weather and shorter days forcing you off the roads and trails and into the gym. Another option is to invest in a turbo trainer so that you can keep riding your own bike, but in the warmth of your front room! What is … More Halford’s Beginner Women’s Guide to Cycling Part 3: Turbo Training
With all the extra sessions at the gym during the MyPT Transformation Challenge, I’ve been washing my favourite pieces of kit rather more often! Even though I am lucky enough to have a pretty extensive collection of activewear there are always those items that I will turn to again and again, and which I’ll grab … More Winter Activewear: TLC Sport and Zalando
Eleven strength training sessions in a month, and it’s time for the results of the MyPT Transformation Challenge! Last week was mentally quite hard – resisting the urge to turn to chocolate after a bad day and craving sugar as a pick-me-up for tiredness was tough. I also struggled with a three-day headache which affected me … More Week 4 Check-In: MyPT Transformation RESULTS
