Leeds Abbey Dash 10k – 31 Weeks Pregnant

Leeds Abbey Dash 10k – 31 Weeks Pregnant

“When will you stop running?” was a question I was asked a lot when I was first pregnant, and I didn’t have an answer. I knew I would run as long as I felt comfortable, and safe. So, I didn’t know that the Abbey Dash would be my last pregnant race at the time I…

Women’s Running 10K Race Report – 6 Months Pregnant

Women’s Running 10K Race Report – 6 Months Pregnant

“It’s going to be super muddy tomorrow – you do have trail shoes, don’t you?” said Mum, the night before our Women’s Running 10K race, a trail race that we’ve have been ambassadors for for about six months. Hmm. Well, yes, I did HAVE them, in the sense that I own trail shoes. Several pairs…

London Marathon 2017 Race Report

London Marathon 2017 Race Report

I like people. And at London Marathon there are a LOT of people to like – 39,000 runners and even more spectators, all of whom I fell mildly in love with on Sunday morning. Green start – I made my way to the Green Start alone, but never felt alone on the journey. I spoke…

Edinburgh Half Marathon 2016 Race Report

Edinburgh Half Marathon 2016 Race Report

If you had a panic attack during a race, you’d think that that would be the most important memory of the run, wouldn’t you? But no, in Edinburgh Half Marathon the views along the coast at Portobello, and the crowds along the route, and the pleasing feeling of running alongside mum in our first race…

How Tough is Tough Mudder?

How Tough is Tough Mudder?

Voluntarily receiving 10,000 volt shocks to the head is not everyone’s idea of a good weekend. And the electrocution at the end of Tough Mudder is certainly no laughing matter. My teammates and I had joked earlier in the race that we should have been training by licking batteries at home, but in reality, nothing could…

Lakeland Trails Coniston Marathon Race Report

Lakeland Trails Coniston Marathon Race Report

Last year, I made my running all about PBs and, with some sweat and swearing, I did rather well. Good For Age London Marathon 2016 here I come! All very well, of course, but you can’t keep going faster forever now, can you? Well, maybe some people can but I doubt if I have the…

How To Train For Your First 5K

How To Train For Your First 5K

Training for your first Race for Life 5K or 10K is a seriously brilliant idea. Being a beginner runner is challenging no doubt, but you can see improvement day by day, and you carry such a sense of pride from it. That is, if you train properly and give the event a little bit of…

To Tri and Fail, or not Tri at All?

To Tri and Fail, or not Tri at All?

I am currently contemplating my first ever DNS at a race. This would be a first for me – I’ve had tantrums by the side of the road in a marathon, I’ve nearly been sick during a half, and I’ve slogged myself ragged and missed my target time by 17 measly seconds in a 10K….

Asics Greater Manchester Marathon Race Report – Half and Half Relay

Asics Greater Manchester Marathon Race Report – Half and Half Relay

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…

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…

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 : 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…
