We Veggie Runners are full of the Blitz spirit. We’re all about make do and mend, waste not, want not and putting a few stitches in our lucky race knickers so we don’t have to buy new ones. We’re the same with food. Why make one meal when you can stretch it out to two,…
Goji Berry Multi-seed Flapjacks
Goji berries are very good for you but, on their own, they don’t really suit my palate. Nutrition experts will tell you they have a ‘herby after-taste’. That may be true but my tongue reads it as ‘ick, bitter, blurgh.’ I need to blend them with a few choice ingredients to make them palatable for…
Runners Need Leeds – new store
We’ve been saying for ages that running is the Best. Thing. Ever. It seems that now millions of other people agree with us. Yippee! According to recent research from Sport England (they do loads of research, you know – check out their latest stats), more than 2 million – 2 million! – people in Britain…
Vegan Festive Energy Balls
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…
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…
Movember Tash-Tastic City Run, 30th Nov
It’s Movember – time to MOVE! Join us for our Tash-Tastic City Run in Leeds at 2pm on 30th November. Our 5km moustache-shaped route takes in the best of the city’s sites and will give you the best GPS map ever! That’s not all. We’ve teamed up with Outlaws Yacht Club and MPIA for an…
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…
Beetroot and Roasted Red Onion Soup
Among my many, varied and mostly useless talents, I have an uncanny knack for finding a song for any occasion. You say a word, I have a song for it. Which is why I can often be found moonwalking in my kitchen whilst singing ‘Beetroot, just beetroot…’, in the manner of Michael Jackson. We’ve told…
5 Ways To Enjoy Tapering
Tapering can be torment but we Veggie Runners have some tips to help you enjoy the experience. When you’ve been marathon training for months, tapering is miserable. It seems counterintuitive but giving your body a rest at this stage in the game can be pure torture. With the Yorkshire Marathon looming over us, we’re hitting the…
