As you may be aware, I turned 30 last week. Eeek! I spent the weekend celebrating in the Lake District, and woke up on my actual birthday to a cup of tea in bed and pancakes. I even squeezed in a run/walk around the Fitness Trail in Wendover Woods – an opportunity to get outside … More 30 before 30: Recap
I’m always looking for the next adventure, a new challenge, a different goal to aim for! The HUGE Outdoor Adventure and Camping Show, London Bike Show, Triathlon Show and Oceans Show that took place at the Excel Centre last weekend was the perfect place for inspiration. From the beautiful bikes to rows of high-tech tents, … More Planning for Adventure: Winter Essentials
At last week’s John Lewis #mywellbeing event I joined a fab bunch of bloggers to get creative in the kitchen and whip up our very own smoothies, using their selection of brilliant blenders. My “Red Ambulance” (banana, berries, coconut milk…) concoction tasted pretty good if I do say so myself! When I was doing the … More Pilates and Smoothies with John Lewis (and Hunkemoller)
On Sunday I took to the streets of London with penguins, polar bears, huskies, oh and my boyfriend James, for the fantastic London Winter Run 10k! I’ve run this race for the last two years, and it’s always a great one to kick off the year and gives me an incentive to keep running through … More London Winter Run 10k – race recap
This month has seen my collaboration with MyPT Studio come to an end – I’ve loved working with the amazing personal trainers at the studio in Croydon. They’ve created such an incredible supportive community of people who love getting a sweat on, challenging themselves, and having a laugh. Unfortunately I just can’t afford to continue my membership … More Ethical Activewear from Sundried
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
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
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)
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
