On Sunday I went out on my bike for the first time since September last year! My poor Trek Lexa…I’ve definitely neglected her, mostly because I’m a fairweather cyclist (!) but also because I’ve moved house and Croydon really isn’t a cycle friendly area. I’ve also been pretty busy training for my first half marathon … More Get On Your Bike
After my first Half Marathon and a super busy stressful week at work, I was definitely in need of both a physical and mental break! Fortunately a couple of friends and I had just the thing planned last weekend… We headed to Champneys Forest Mere near Liphook on the South Downs, for a 1 Night … More A Relaxing Break

It’s hard to sum up the culmination of several months training into one blog post. Especially as right now, it hasn’t really sunk in. I ran a half marathon last Sunday! I won the entries to the Windsor Trail Half last November, and having convinced my brothers to run with me, January to May were … More My First Half Marathon! {Windsor Trail Half}
The big weekend is finally here! After months of training, I am about to run my first ever Half Marathon – eeeek!

As the weather gets warmer I always feel more inclined to eat fresh fruit, salads and smoothies!

Aside from the running what else did we get up to? I’d never been to Geneva before, and was really impressed with how easy it was to navigate on foot. It’s reasonably small with most things within walking distance, and the airport was a short (not even 10minute) train ride away from our hotel. Most … More Geneva Race-cation: Top Things to See & Do
I had a pretty disastrous experience at the Easter 10k a couple of weeks ago that really brought home to me the importance of fuelling properly for a race. The race was a late start, 10:30am, due to the Bank Holiday. I had porridge for breakfast at around 7:30am, but having run out of bananas … More The Importance Of Fuelling Properly
Race number two of my Geneva race-cation was as part of Team Naturally Run 1 in the Relay Marathon! Burgers the night before meant we were well fuelled… and I enjoyed my runners breakfast “Swiss-style” in the hotel room before heading out (replace peanut butter with nutella, and a bagel/toast with croissants – nice!) The … More Geneva “Race-cation” – Geneva Relay Marathon
