Let’s be honest: summer running can feel like a bit of a slog. The sun’s blazing, the air is thick, your toddler refused to nap, and you’re already dreaming about your next ice cream before you’ve even stepped out the door. I love running, but when life is full and the heat is on, I … More Real-life tips for summer running
Running has been part of my life for several years now, but like many new mums, I have definitely found it difficult to get back into a consistent routine after having my son.

I made the decision pretty early on in my pregnancy to stop running. I was lucky not to suffer with morning sickness, but instead battled constant nausea throughout the day (no actual vomiting) for most of the first trimester. It was made worse by the bouncing up and down that comes with running so unfortunately … More Post-Baby Return to Running: Part 1 Preparation
With the arrival of summer, Arthur and I are still heading out on lots of walks as I mentioned in my last post.
