The Japanese diet is completely packed with fermented foods, that are great for your gut health and immune system. There has been some evidence that eating fermented foods also contributes to athletic performance, as the ‘friendly’ microbes act like a catalytic converter, helping you to make the most of the food you put into your…
Why I did parkrun on my Wedding Day
When most brides are having their hair and nails done on their wedding day, I stood sweaty and grinning at the finish line, cheering as some of my friends and family finished their very first parkruns. Others had run beside me the whole 5K, letting me blow off steam about my nerves and excitement for…
Hot Cross Bun Caramel Popcorn
Sweet, spicy, citrussy – I absolutely adore hot cross buns. Toasted, and spread with coconut oil, then topped with mum’s homemade marmalade, they’re a favourite Sunday treat. Earlier this week, I was alerted to some mass-produced hot cross bun popcorn on the market, full of whey byproducts and scary looking ingredients and I instantly knew I…

Experience less stress, sleep more deeply and improve your relationship in 2016 with one, simple act? It IS possible, I swear. Ready? Ban your smartphone from your bedroom.

Pistachio and Cardamom Marzipan
These vegan treats are delicious, super simple to make and would be lovely Christmas gifts. I don’t think I can really pretend that a food containing nearly a quarter sugar is healthy, but pistachios are great sources of mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin E and iron. Just make sure you share them around and don’t eat them all. (Believe…

REAL #fitspo – 6 Inspirational Instagrammers to follow today
We Veggie Runners love Instagram but sometimes it can feel a bit dispiriting. Who needs to see a parade of perfect people, drinking smoothies made of fairy dust and unicorn tears, doing handstands while their abs glistened in the sunlight? It’s not inspiring, at least not to me. In fact, scrolling through the images of…
Art Run with Mima – Transporter Bridge Colour Party!
Our favourite part of crafting our Art Runs is developing a story around a place. We were both born in Teesside and have a massive affection for the area and its people, and so were so pleased to hook up with The Middlesbrough Museum of Modern Art (mima) to celebrate their ‘Localism’ exhibition. On the…
How (and Why) to Begin Eating Mindfully Today
During the summer, I began making big, bold complicated salads for myself for my packed lunches and (this sounds a bit dramatic) they changed my life. The springy leaves of rocket, and the seeds and olives I had to chase around my plate with a fork had an unexpected side effect – I had to…
How Tough is Tough Mudder?
Voluntarily receiving 10,000 volt shocks to the head is not everyone’s idea of a good weekend. And the electrocution at the end of Tough Mudder is certainly no laughing matter. My teammates and I had joked earlier in the race that we should have been training by licking batteries at home, but in reality, nothing could…
Running Back to Myself
It was a holiday, I suppose. But it was also so much more than that. It was a homecoming, and a reunion, a coming of age, coming back to my self. When I was 16, my mum and I moved halfway across the world to Victoria, British Columbia, where we lived for nearly 5 years. I…
It’s Never Too Late to Start
It’s not too late to start your journey into fitness. Maybe you didn’t like running at school. Maybe running around in a polo shirt and shin guards made you feel self-conscious, with a mouth full of gum shield and spit. Maybe you didn’t like being shouted at for shuffling your feet when you were passed the ball…
