I took my Trek Lexa SL road bike to my local bike shop on Saturday. When it got stolen the thieves damaged and bent the chainring, so that I couldn’t change the front gears anymore. I really wasn’t sure how much it would cost to fix, if I would need a new chainset or if the … More Ride London Training Update and Win a New Bike!
I returned home yesterday evening to some exciting and slightly scary mail. I entered the ballot for Ride London, the same as I entered the ballot for the London Marathon – not really expecting to get in, and not 100% sure if I really wanted to do it! But we should all do things that scare … More Ride London – I got in!
Have you heard of Payasugym? I used the website quite a lot when I was training for the Brighton Half Marathon last year. I didn’t have a gym membership but wanted to have access to a treadmill for sprint interval sessions. Using Payasyugym I was able to pay one-off prices for the YMCA gym near my … More Urban Movement with Payasugym

Being only two weeks after Christmas it was good … More First Race of 2016 – Battersea Park 5k
Activity trackers have become the norm among a lot of my friends, adorning wrists up and down the country. The number of models and brands is ever increasing, from Fitbit and Jawbone to Misfit- basic functions include counting steps and calories burned, but an increasing number can track your heart rate, sleep patterns and weight. Some … More Don’t be Stationary this January {sp}
Well January is rumbling along, and the first week back at work seems to have flown by! I’m actually loving getting back into a healthy routine – making my packed lunches, and popping out for RUNches to discover new routes… [RUNCH] Ran 6k along the canal at lunch – the longest run I’ve done for … More January Goals: Running and Yoogaia
Over Christmas I enjoyed exploring the countryside around my parents house, and heading out on plenty of walks. Its a tradition that every time my sister and I get together we will just go for a stroll to catch up on what’s been happening. Somehow walking and talking is an easier way to chat, rather than … More Country Walks with Trespass
The past year was a fantastic but definitely unpredictable twelve months. In the first few months of the year I felt strong and unstoppable – I smashed my half marathon goal time at Brighton, committed to a weekly yoga practise and was feeling all kinds of balanced and awesome. I joined Classpass, flitted around the … More Time to FOCUS on 2016
