With this glorious English Summer we’re having I thought I’d put together a few tips for running in the heat! I know we all want to get out and enjoy the sunshine but it can make an easy 3miler feel like a marathon if you’re unprepared… Of course as I post this we’re forecast a … More Running In Hot Weather
After my less than successful “Juice Cleanse”, you may think I never want to see another juice in my life! But although I’ve come to the conclusion that I disagree with an extreme all juice low calorie diet (duh), adding colourful and healthy juices to your everyday diet can only be a good thing.

Following on from mine and Steph’s 20-Minute Lunchtime Circuit last week (which we’re intending to make a regular occurrence), I thought I’d share another circuit session.

I love my running medals. And I have an awesome hanger from the Runner’s Wall to display them- every time I walk past I feel proud of what I have accomplished. It’s a little more full than this now! However I have also seen people use other ways to celebrate their achievements, from tattoos, photo … More Runner’s Jewellery
I may have mentioned that I have been struggling with an aching hip/groin for the last few weeks. It started a couple of weeks before my half marathon- an intermittent pain in the crease at the top of my left leg where it joins the pelvis, pretty hard to pinpoint and often just a dull … More Injuries and Swimming
The big weekend is finally here! After months of training, I am about to run my first ever Half Marathon – eeeek!
