How to Recover from a Marathon

How to Recover from a Marathon

Well done on completing your marathon! Now comes the hard part… Recovering from a marathon can take days if you don’t do it properly – after my first, I had to wear slip on shoes until Wednesday because I couldn’t bend down to tie my laces… By my second, I’d learned a few lessons and…

Five Easy Ways To Beat Stress

Five Easy Ways To Beat Stress

In recent months, I’ve been going through a period of intense busy-ness: starting a demanding new job in a new city, buying a new flat in a different area altogether (logic never was my strong point!), living between two different places, often on the road, driving hundreds of miles each month, seemingly always packing – and…

Training for London Marathon with 3 Runs a Week

I wasn’t planning on doing a marathon this Spring. I really, truly wasn’t. And then… I got a place for London Marathon. THE London Marathon. One of the marathon majors; the race that people here in Britain – even the people who ask “how long is your marathon?” – think of when they hear the…

How to Fall Asleep Naturally

How to Fall Asleep Naturally

It happens to all of us at some point – the light switches off, but you don’t. The impact of just a few night’s missed sleep can be dramatic. One Harvard study demonstrated a clear correlation between drowsy drivers and increased accident rates. There’s also lots of evidence now that long-term lack of sleep is linked…

Pink Lady Pilates Core Workouts

Pink Lady Pilates Core Workouts

Pilates is great for runners You probably knew that already. What you may not know is why it’s good for runners. Laying on a mat making usually tiny, often slow, movements seems at odds with the power and dynamism needed for even a lazy-day run. I’m up for more or less anything – I run, of…

The ‘Three Runs a Week’ Marathon Training Plan for a PB

The ‘Three Runs a Week’ Marathon Training Plan for a PB

Can you get a marathon PB with just 3 runs a week? That was what I managed last time I trained for 26.2. I followed the FIRST marathon training plan, and knocked a whopping 31 minutes off my previous personal best. I’m not aiming for knocking any more time off this year – Loch Ness…

Finding the Time for Fitness – 48 Hour Challenge

Finding the Time for Fitness – 48 Hour Challenge

What’s possible in a weekend? We’re often asked how we manage to fit exercise into our busy lives. We approach it a different way – exercise is what we like to do, not something we add in so we often shuffle other things aside to fit fitness into our lives. Neutrogena challenged us to complete…

Why I did parkrun on my Wedding Day

Why I did parkrun on my Wedding Day

When most brides are having their hair and nails done on their wedding day, I stood sweaty and grinning at the finish line, cheering as some of my friends and family finished their very first parkruns. Others had run beside me the whole 5K, letting me blow off steam about my nerves and excitement for…

Running Back to Myself

Running Back to Myself

It was a holiday, I suppose. But it was also so much more than that. It was a homecoming, and a reunion, a coming of age, coming back to my self. When I was 16, my mum and I moved halfway across the world to Victoria, British Columbia, where we lived for nearly 5 years. I…

How I Fell in Love with Running (and You Can, Too)

How I Fell in Love with Running (and You Can, Too)

If you’re a beginner runner, it’s hard to imagine loving running sometimes. It can seem that there are slightly bonkers people who were born loving running, and then everyone else. With me and running, it certainly wasn’t love at first sight. Running was someone else’s thing, and I didn’t really want much to do with it…
