Asics Greater Manchester Marathon is one of the few in the UK (the only?) that offers a half and half relay option. We don’t know why other marathons don’t but we were more than happy to run half each in Manchester. Not because we’re lazy but because we have different races lined up so we’re…
Our London Marathon Weekend
There are many great things about writing Veggie Runners but the best of all has to be the people we get to meet. Spending weekends with each other – yay! – in the company of other runners talking about pretty much nothing but running. Our idea of a great time. Yeah, OK, it’s not for everyone…
Vegan Bread and Butter Pudding
One of the great things about having a food and fitness blog, is that we get to experiment in the kitchen to create delicious recipes to tickle your taste buds, dear reader. Sometimes we get so carried away designing delectable dishes – in this case a Vegan Bread and Butter Pudding – that we forget…
Vegan Savoury Crumble
Savoury crumble is always a winner. It’s perfect for a big Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. While the meat eaters are chewing on whatever it is they chew on, you can bask in the splendour of this lovely, light vegan alternative. You can serve it with roast potatoes, vegetarian gravy and all the trimmings….
Vegan Black Bean and Sun Dried Tomato Dip
There’s a song called ‘It May Be Winter Outside (But In My Heart It’s Spring).’ I sing this song around the house. A lot. Bibi says it’s one of the first songs she remembers hearing. I think I like it because it’s zingy and bright and it’s a lovely accentuate-the-positive kind of song. And also…
Vegan Yam Curry
I bought a yam from my local market. I’m worldly wise. I’ve travelled widely, spent 9 years studying at university (not being dim just, y’know, not getting a proper job), trained as a caterer and have been cooking for decades. Despite all this, I have to be honest, I knew not what to do with…
Kale and Sesame Soup
Kale is a superfood, right? That’s what people have been saying for ages. It’s rich in anti-oxidants, with an ORAC rating of 1770 (I don’t really know what that means but it sound good, doesn’t it?) It’s high in iron, has anti-cancer properties, it’s anti-inflammatory and on and on. Of course, there’s now a kale…
This Girl Can – International Women’s Day Event
I have to admit, I got a little teary during the second of our guided 5K runs for International Women’s Day yesterday. Supporting the launch of the This Girl Can campaign with RunLeeds, we were running with our all-abilities group along the canal in a sudden burst of glorious sunshine. The more experienced runners had…

Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie
You know we Veggie Runners love a good protein smoothie. This vegan Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie is great for post-run repair and for helping to keep your immune system in good shape. It tastes rich and creamy, though it’s neither, and it’s lovely poured over ice cubes. A bit like Baileys but better for you….
Refresh Yourself With A Micro-Break
It doesn’t take long to recharge your batteries. Treat yourself to a micro-break – an hour or two might be all you need. Sometimes you need to give yourself a break. Not a holiday, not a spa vacation, not a yoga retreat or a stay in a swanky hotel. It doesn’t have to cost much….
Vegan Protein Pancakes
Image: Zsolt Sandor / MothershipUK Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, Mardi Gras – it’s time to fatten yourself up before the privations of Lent, if you happen to believe in such things. I didn’t turn out to be quite the good Catholic girl my dear, departed father hoped for but I do still give something up every…
