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…
First Olympic Triathlon – Nailed It!
I completed my first Olympic Distance triathlon – The Cleveland Short Course – last weekend. I had a (mostly) marvellous time and I am so happy I womanned-up and took the plunge. The Practice Swim My main reservation about the triathlon was the open water swim – having not had a chance to ever practice, I…
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
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…
Quinoa and Pomegranate Salad
We could have called this Quinoa and Pomegranate Salad a superfood salad but we don’t like to follow the pack. It is, though. It’s food, it’s salad and it is straight-up super, packed full of ingredients that nutritionists wax lyrical about because they are so unbelievably good for you. Let’s call it a really, really great…
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….
Turmeric and Citrus Spiced Almonds
Turmeric is the ‘It spice’ of the moment, and with good reason. The curcumin that gives it a shocking yellow colour has been linked to health benefits ranging from heart-health and digestion-settling, to even fighting cancer. The only way it can be improved upon is to combine it with the nutritional ‘It food’ – almonds!…

Maple and Pecan Protein Balls
If you train hard you need protein to repair your muscles, right? If you’ve trained really hard, you probably want that protein to taste a little bit special. Delicious is a word often over-used by food bloggers, ourselves included, but really, these Maple and Pecan Protein Balls are the bees knees. (Question: do bees even have…
Video: Pop-Up Running Event – Leeds Girls Can
One thing we Veggie Runners love is a pop-up running event. This one was part of the This Girl Can campaign which, as you probably know, aims to help girls and women get active, whatever their shape, size or age. Which, as you also may know, is something very dear to our hearts. This International Women’s…
