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
Things have been pretty crazy lately, and I’m not going to lie, my fitness has definitely suffered! I haven’t been on my bike for 4 weeks and I am starting to feel pretty nervous about RideLondon next weekend. The only exercise I’ve done has been the weekly Sports Club sessions with work, which have been … More A little life update
With less than two weeks to go until the London 10 mile, I decided to take a look ahead to the next few months and share my challenges for the remainder of the summer – it’s shaping up to be a pretty busy one! Please do let me know if you’re going to be at … More A summer of challenges
The recent four-day weekend was just what was needed to recharge my batteries, and enjoy lots of time outdoors. The weather wasn’t particularly warm, but it was mostly sunny and dry which is all you really need for some active adventures! On Good Friday I squeezed in a 3mile run around Beddington Park – which … More Fitness and fun over the Easter weekend
I will admit I’ve got stuck in a bit of a rut with my training since my membership at MyPT Studio ended. I’ve been running and cycling, maybe once or twice a week each. I know that this isn’t really enough for the goals I have in mind for the remainder of 2017, but I’m … More Mixing up my training with Fitness First
After struggling with knee issues for most of my running life, and having recently discovered a love for cycling, I’d resigned myself to the fact that I probably wouldn’t run any more long distance races. I’ve always enjoyed the half marathon. It’s a big challenge, but it’s possible to train for without it taking over your life, … More Training for the London 10 Mile
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
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
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)
