A day is a dog year on the internet. So it feels like a million years since our recent Light Night Leeds Art Run, when actually it was only a couple of weeks ago. We’ve been a bit distracted doing hynobirthing classes, running one of the luscious Hardmoors races on the North Yorkshire Moors and...

We had a major fangirl meltdown recently when we met Brendan Foster, one of big running heroes and founder of the the Great Run Series, which includes the biggest half marathon in the whole wide world. As you can see from the photo, he already had his coat and bag and was ready to leave...

We Veggie Runners have an action-packed spring and summer of running coming up. It’s easy to get caught up in the data and spend time stressing about pace, splits and PBs. This year we want to take time on our runs to smell the roses, get covered in mud, slither down soapy slides, you know the...

We’re going to be taking part in the Leeds X-Press Triathlon together in less than two weeks. It’s quite weird being the expert at something out of the three of us....
