These Vegan Nutella Cookies help me forget that I totally failed at Lent. I’m not religious but I do like a challenge. My Lent-alution (Lent-resolution) had been to start meditating every day for ten minutes. I managed a week. I did feel the benefits of that one week, but I didn’t properly prioritise it, and…
3 Ways Running Makes You a Totally Rad Skiier
When I was a teenager, we lived in Canada, just 2 hours’ drive away from a ski resort. Most years, either out of charity or some comedy value, we, “The Brits” would end up being invited for the weekend at someone’s chalet. I loved the big dinners with friends, the apres ski, hot chocolate with…
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy mother’s day to the coolest lady I know. Thank you for: Bolstering me against the millions of conflicting images of how a young woman is ‘supposed to be’. Helping me realise that self-confidence is not a vice. Pointing me in the direction of exercise but letting me find my own way there. A fantastic relationship…
Chia Seed Pitta Breads
Far better to make resolutions for Lent than New Years. January is a terrible time for self-improvement – it’s dark, cold and your cupboards are still full of the booze from Christmas. Spring, on the other hand, is by definition all about new beginnings. Take something on for the 40 days of Lent, and by…
Just Keep Swimming
Until about a year ago, the only time I ever went swimming was on holiday. When I was on holiday, I loved it – like in the lake on Vancouver Island in the picture above, the cobalt sea in Croatia, or dips in pools in Greece – but I would forget all about it when I came…
Ginger Granola with Quinoa Crunchies
People who make their own granola have a certain reputation for being smug. And, you know what? The smugness is totally earned. In between playing with my new kittens yesterday afternoon (after my trail race and before triathlon swim training!) I managed to make 2 full batches of granola with very little effort at all….
What I’ve learned in Veganuary so far
I am, in a great number of ways, a lot like Beyonce. The most recent iteration of this Bibi-yonce confluence has been our temporary conversion to a 100% plant-based diet. For the month of January this year, we Veggie Runners have shirked the cheese, ditched the eggs and got rid of milk and joined thousands…
Ultimate Veggie Burgers
As we’ve said before, we don’t really believe in “new year, starve yourself” resolutions. I would hope you know us well enough by now to know that. I have made myself one January pact, though – I want to walk with a lighter environmental footprint. Being a vegetarian helps my carbon footprint a lot, and…
Vegan Ginger-Chocolate Brownies
I was given Scott Jurek’s book ‘Eat & Run’ for Christmas and have been devouring it ever since. It’s part running guide, part autobiography of the world’s greatest ultramarathon runner and part vegan recipe book. A proper book review will follow shortly when I’ve gulped the whole thing down. His book couldn’t come at a…
Becoming a Runner – My Story
We’ve been asked quite a lot recently which of the two of us started running first, and got the other into it. I can say, hand on heart, that I would not have bothered with the thing if it weren’t for my little mother. For years, the extent of my relationship with running was sitting…
Running a Marathon is Hard : 5 Stages
Intellectually, I knew that running a marathon would be hard. I pictured blisters, sore legs, maybe being sick a bit. In the end, the physical wasn’t actually the worst of it. I had trained well, had some great kit and have learned (sometimes the hard way) how to fuel myself through a run. I was…
Ras-El-Hanout Butternut Squash Risotto
This Ras-El-Hanout Butternut Squash Risotto is something I’ve been tweaking for a while – the sweetness of the squash works well with the cinnamon in the North African spices. I’m sure a risotto purist would recoil at the sound of it, but they’d soon change their mind when they got a taste. If you have…
