Hills are my nemesis, both on the bike and on foot. I think it comes from learning to run (if that’s a phrase) in flatter-than-a-pancake Norfolk! And even now, when I head out for a run I opt to follow trails along the river rather than routes which might challenge me a little more in … More Run Reigate 10k race recap
On Sunday I headed to Beddington Park, just down the road from me in Sutton, for the Decathlon Running Series 5k. I walk, run and cycle in the park a lot as it’s such a lovely space, and a great escape from the urban sprawl of Croydon, so when I heard that Decathlon were holding a … More Decathlon Running Series – Croydon
I think the above photo sums up my RideLondon experience quite well. Sunshine, a massive smile on my face, surrounded by loads of other cyclists and just soaking up the scenery! I probably spent a fair few miles on cloud nine, purely amazed that I could cycle so fast because of the closed roads – … More My RideLondon Recap
I was relaxing at The Hacienda in Spain on a yoga retreat when the British 10k took place, so I asked Ruth from Rula Runs to take part for me – here’s how she got on! I know I repeat this statement A LOT, but I really do love running in London, and after running … More British 10k Race Recap
It’s kind of hard to put into words my experience last week at the BHF London to Brighton Bike Ride. I’ve had a full week for the achievement to sink in, and that medal is now probably one of the ones on my hanger that I am most proud of. The event was amazingly well … More London to Brighton Bike Ride
I ran the Richmond Riverside 10k on Saturday – one of the girls I raced with was my colleague Stephanie who as a relatively new runner, absolutely smashed her very first 10k! Here’s her experience: I started running about six months ago and can confidently say that the idea of a race absolutely terrified me (they still … More Stephanie – My First 10k
Yesterday I took on the Winter Run 10k in London, adding another medal to my growing collection. Here’s why I turned out in the rain to pound the pavements with 15,000 other runners and Why I’m Addicted to Race Bling. 1. For the people you meet Races are amazing places. No matter whether the day … More Why I’m Addicted to Race Bling
Almost as soon as we had finished the Greenwich Park 5k before Christmas, my work friends were keen to book another! We opted to sign up for the Battersea Park 5k, also organised by Run Through so we were confident in it being another great race. Being only two weeks after Christmas it was good … More First Race of 2016 – Battersea Park 5k
With only a couple of days left of this year it’s time for the annual recap and reflect of 2015 – I always love to scroll back through my blog posts picking out the highlights, and rediscovering things that I’d forgotten I did! It’s amazing how much things change within the short space of a … More A Look Back at 2015
It’s become a tradition for me to run a festive 5k every Christmas – or at least, I’ve done it for the last few years and loved it so much I wanted to keep going! This year, instead of the Team Naturally Run ladies, I roped in a couple of my new work colleagues. For … More Festive 5k in Greenwich Park
