I love the #ThisGirlCan campaign, and I’m not afraid to say it. I know I’d get more clicks by posting a scathing critique. After all, it’s more click-baity to see people tear each other down than to support and nourish each other. But I wouldn’t really know where to start. I love that it’s body positive. I love that…
Indian-Spiced Brussels Sprouts
Sprouts – you are having a bit of a moment, as far as a cruciferous vegetable can be said to ever have a moment. For years it’s been ‘Kale, that’ and ‘Kale this’ but now its (very) little cousin is taking the time to shine. What are the signs? No January-blues superfood salad would be complete without ‘shaved’…
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…
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
After I posted my “Help me internet” post last week, the wonderful Sarah from Goldilocks Running sent me the most fantastic, thorough guide to getting fast – FAST. She’s been kind enough to let me share her hard-fought knowledge with you guys, too. If you haven’t read her blog yet, head straight over there (once you’ve…
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…
Marathon Training : In the Home Straight
Marathon training this year has strengthened my soul. It may not have felt it every mile, but overall, I’ve got out a hell of a lot more than I’ve put in. During the 16 weeks that I have been training for this year’s Yorkshire Marathon, I have left a job where I felt very secure, and loved my…
Vegan Gingerbread-Spiced Protein Granola Bars
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman, upon finishing a half-marathon, will be in want of ALL THE FOOD. I created these protein filled bars to save my life after the Great North Run. They’re based on a recipe from the really wonderful Oh She Glows, who does incredibly beautiful vegan recipes. Her…
Marathon Training on Tour – Bibi’s Highs and Lows in Dorset
An article I once read by Guardian author Tim Lott has been jangling around in my head a lot lately. The crux of it is, you’re more likely to be simply content in your life without children, but you experience much higher highs and lower lows as a parent, and so you can’t really choose one…
Vegan Peach and Prosecco Ice Cream
A recipe that leaves you with 3/4 of a bottle of prosecco that you need to drink? You’re welcome! You can thank me later… if you remember. You can even take aside some of the peach puree before mixing the other ingredients in to whip up some bellinis while you wait for the ice cream to…
Commonwealth Legacy Art Run with Architecture and Design Scotland
This summer we held the first “Leg-a-See” Art Run with Architecture and Design Scotland. We were proud to be part of Glasgow’s GREEN2014 programme exploring the environmental legacy of the Commonwealth Games. We had so much fun researching the history and regeneration of Glasgow, and were bursting to share it with the 30 dedicated runners who braved the…
