As camping fans, James and I have a few tents between us – maybe not as many as the number of bikes we own – but still a pretty comprehensive collection. From tiny two-mans to massive beasts that sleep a whole football team (well, maybe not) we have a tent for every occasion. Still, they … More Decathlon Inflatable Tent Review
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
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
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
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
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
It’s that time of year when everyone starts rolling out Christmas Gift Guide posts so here’s mine! These are all items I’ve tried myself and thought were useful, fun or quirky. This year, what with moving house and being a little financially stretched, I wanted to share some ‘budget’ Christmas present ideas so all fifteen … More Fitness and Outdoor Christmas Gift Guide
Running is one of my favourite things to do as the autumnal days start to appear, and the nights draw in. Yes, it’s hard to feel like heading outside when the weather is abysmal but generally I love pounding the pavements in the evenings lit up like a Christmas tree, or taking to the trails … More Autumn Races with On Running
At the end of this month I’m tackling my very first Obstacle Course Race at the Tough Mudder Half South London – to say I’m a bit nervous would be an understatement! Fortunately, thanks to For Goodness Shakes I have three other lovely ladies on my team to offer both moral and physical support around … More Training for a Tough Mudder
Many people in London have been affected by the disruption at Waterloo which has rippled around the whole South West trains network. The entire Chessington branch line is currently closed so there aren’t actually any trains running to my office at the moment! This is where trying to commute to work by bike is a … More Commuting by folding bike with Decathlon
