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
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
So we’re already into Day 4 of 2018 and I’m finally starting to sit down and think about my goals and ambitions for the year – if I’m honest, there’s nothing BIG that’s jumping out at me, screaming that I HAVE to do it this year. I’m just excited to see what the year holds … More Happy New Year: Breathe in 2018
As is the tradition on my blog, every year at the end of the year, I like to look back and reflect on what I’ve achieved. It’s a nice way to remember some of the memories that may have been forgotten, and celebrate just how far we’ve come in those twelve months, which really do … More A look back at 2017
As you may have seen on social media, at the beginning of December I moved to Hemel Hempstead! I’m now living with James, my boyfriend, and am looking at renting out my flat in Croydon from January (let me know if you’re looking for somewhere!). It’s a very exciting move, and a little bit scary … More Hello Hertfordshire
I haven’t played team sports properly since I was at University, these days preferring to take part in solo exercise such as running and cycling – even if I do enjoy doing those things with other people! However, I’m lucky enough to have landed a job where my colleagues are like my team-mates, a huge … More Rediscovering Team Sports – WIN Netball Tickets
