Chocolate Pretzel Energy Bars
After a big race, I’m always starving, and desperately crave two things – salt and protein. This can lead to some of my most pleasing food inventions. After the Pocklington 10 miler, I demolished Harissa Hummus and beetroot crisp sandwiches in my chia seed pittas. After a training run last week, I went weak at the…
Total Warrior, Leeds 2014 Race Report
Huge thanks to Zsolt Sandor at MothershipUK for the fantastic photos It is a truth universally acknowledged that lots of people think we’re total nutcases. Admittedly, our idea of fun (running the 96 miles of the West Highland Way, signing up for triathlons when one of us doesn’t own a bike etc.) is not shared by…
Feta and Cherry Tomato Flaky Pastry Pizza
Heavens, there’s a busy summer ahead, what with the World Cup, Wimbledon, the Commonwealth Games and all manner of other sporting events going on. Add in training for races that we’re actually going to run and, blimey, we’re exhausted just thinking about it! We know that you’re doing the same – running, watching, watching, running…

Asian-Inspired Cashew Coleslaw
One of the best things about exercising is how super-excellent food tastes afterwards. After a good bike ride or when I’m marathon training, the volume on my dinner turned up to eleven (Sorry, I just saw This Is Spinal Tap for the first time). It’s impossible to worry about anything when you’re wonderfully, atavistically focussed…
Roasted Nut Protein Balls
Some people like chocolates and cupcakes. At the risk of sounding like healthy-eating uber-nerds, we Veggie Runners love a good protein ball. Yes, really. But there’s a reason for that: these Roasted Nut Protein Balls are absolutely delicious. They’re sweet, moist, tasty, vegan and incredibly good for you – what’s not to love?! No added…
Total Warrior Race (Help Me!)
It seemed like a good idea when we signed up six months ago… A fun team name (“Aching Bad”), over a dozen women in the group, a summertime obstacle course and beer afterwards. As the time for the race draws nearer, reality has begun setting in for me. Even in summer, plunging into a skip…
