I’m taking part in the RideLondon-Surrey 100 again this year, and with only about seven weeks to go I’m trying to get stuck into training! Last year’s experience was pretty challenging, so I’m hoping with a bit more hill training and some consistent riding I should see an improvement. As ever, life does have a … More 2018 Cycling Goals with Livall
Are you looking to try something new this summer? If the great weather has got you inspired to head out on an outdoor adventure, why not take a look at mountain biking? It’s not just an autumn/winter sport, although the extra mud and puddles are always fun! Last month James and I headed over to … More Mountain Biking at Swinley Forest
It’s no secret that I’ve struggled with quite a few niggles since I started running five years ago. From shin splints as an enthusiastic beginner, to hip pain, ITB problems and my latest knee issues, I don’t seem to have managed to train for any of my races without picking up some sort of injury! … More DorsaVi Running Assessment
After discovering Deerland Safari last year through the Quality Unearthed website, I was keen to try another glamping experience! A couple of weeks ago, James and I headed down to The Brake Carriage on the outskirts of Glastonbury for a little Somerset adventure… The Brake Carriage The Brake Carriage is owned by the lovely Angela … More The Brake Carriage and Cheddar Gorge
I wrote this post over the four-day Easter weekend, and while we tried to make the most of the extra time to get outside and do exciting things, there was definitely a lot of sleeping too! Did you know that 50% of adults aren’t getting enough sleep at night and 1 in 4 say they would … More Why you should make time for sleeping
Climbing Kinder Scout in the Peak District during an amber weather warning probably wasn’t the best decision we’ve ever made, but the weather has been so ridiculous lately that the prospect of another weekend stuck inside wasn’t very appealing. Plus, as long as you’re well prepared and sensible, there’s no reason why a snowy adventure … More Snowy Adventures in the Peak District
The weeks are flying by and we’re nearly at the end of February already! It’s a little crazy. But with so much to look forward to in the next few months and the fact that I’m pretty fed up of the dark, cold weather (plus my birthday is at the end of Feb), I’m actually … More Outdoor kit I’m loving – February
As you may have seen on social media, I am hugely excited to announce that I have been selected to be an Ordnance Survey #GetOutside Champion for 2018/2019. I’ve found it pretty hard to sum up how delighted and amazed I am to be involved in this epic and awesome project – this post has … More Becoming an Ordnance Survey #GetOutside Champion
It’s eight weeks to go until my first challenge of 2018 – running the Sage Reading Half Marathon on 18th March! I usually sign up to an event at the beginning of the year to give me some motivation to get outside when the weather is less than appealing. A half marathon is definitely a tough … More Reading Half Marathon Training
It can be hard to get back into the swing of things after Christmas and New Year. I had an amazing break, but the lack of routine or a regular exercise habit (which if I’m honest I haven’t had for much longer than just over Christmas!), made it harder to start again in January. However, … More January Fitness with Esquared
