Photo: Zsolt Sandor / MothershipUK We all need extra energy in the lead up to Christmas. Even if you don’t celebrate it, the world seems to go MAD at this time of year. It all gets a bit fizzy and busy and, if you’re not careful, rather overwhelming. Don’t worry though, we have a two-part…

Chaopraya Thai Cooking School + Tofu Pad Thai Recipe
Sometimes it’s hard to be a food blogger (sing it like Tammy Wynette). Actually, that’s not true – it’s not hard, not even slightly. Especially when a restaurant like Chaopraya, gets in touch and asks if we’d like a lesson in cooking delicious Thai food. Why, yes, we most certainly would! Thank you, universe. We spent…
Chocolate Race Medals
What should you do with your old race medals? This is a problem familiar to all runners. You could hang them up and let them gather dust. You might hide the in a drawer and forget about them. OR, if you’re really smart, you could turn your race medals into CHOCOLATE! That way, you celebrate your successes…
Abbey Dash 2014 Race Report
Bring it, Abbey Dash! #sweatybetty #abbeydash #running #fitness #TomTom A photo posted by Veggie Runners (@veggie_runners) on Nov 11, 2014 at 1:05am PST The Abbey Dash 17 seconds is not very long at all. Ordinarily, you lose 17 seconds without even noticing they’ve slipped away, disappeared. Sometimes, though, 17 seconds is forever, bending time and…
Vegan Rosewater and Pistachio Cake
We believe our greatest gift to humankind is our invention of the post-marathon recovery cake. No doubt our OBEs are in the post. This Vegan Rosewater and Pistachio recovery cake, created for our recent Yorkshire Marathon efforts, was so good we ate it all before I had chance to take any photos on the day. Still, at least that…
Why Women’s Sport Matters (And You Should be Mad As Hell)
This year, due to a widening pay gap, “Equal Pay Day”, the date from which women effectively work for free until New Year, came 3 days earlier than in 2013 – November 7th. If you were the best female cyclist in the world, guess when you would have started working for free compared to your…
Sweetly-Spiced Squash Recipe
When I was a kid in Britain, the word “squash” solely referred to syruppy cordials, containing about 2% fruit. When a Canadian friend came over to visit, she kept refusing offers of squash, thinking that Brits really enjoyed giving gourds to their houseguests. Thankfully, with the rise of farmers markets and seasonal eating, squash has…
Get faster, fast! Top Tips for speeding up your 10k

Faster, faster – Aiming for a sub-50 10k
Now that I’ve gone long and steady, I’m ready for my next challenge at the upcoming Abbey Dash 10k – short and speedy. I’m just not 100% sure where to begin. I have to not lose sight of the progress I’ve made, since I ran my first race in 2012. I just am not sure…
Yorkshire Marathon 2014 Race Report
What’s the definition of ‘awesome’? As Bibi will attest, I have a problem with this word. People say a TV programme was awesome, that they just had an awesome cake etc. These things are not awesome. They are things you happen to like a lot but they do not inspire an overwhelming feeling of wonder, as…
Light Night Art Runs
Some people when they’re tapering for a marathon lay on the sofa and eat cake. This is perfectly reasonable but we prefer a different approach. Such as planning Light Night Art Runs, that involve running with a hundred other people festooned in fairy lights and glow sticks through a crowded city that has turned itself…
