It’s official – not only have I caught the triathlon bug, but I’ve press-ganged my little mama and our friend Rose into the madness, too. 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….
Art Run at Leeds Waterfront Festival
One of our favourite things to do as Veggie Runners is to organise Art Runs. We did one recently at Leeds Waterfront Festival and had a whale of a time. The ‘art’ bit of the runs is open to interpretation – it depends on where and when we do them and what there is to…
Ads on Veggie Runners
You might have noticed that Veggie Runners now has adverts on it – they’re certainly not going to make us rich but it may help to pay for hosting the site and some of our recipe ingredients. The first few days were a bit of a nightmare – we don’t control the ads, that’s all done…
On your Bikes, Ladies!
This is a call to arms. Or, rather, a call to legs. This week, the Tour De France will pass through Yorkshire, leaving a legacy of cycling enthusiasm in its wake. We need to make sure that this legacy extends to those of us ineligible for the Tour itself, aka lasses. Because currently, I don’t know where…
Veggie Runners in the Press
If don’t get enough of our chatter here and on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and Instagram, in the UK you can find us in newsagents near you, too. We’ve featured in lots of publications promoting active living and delicious, healthy vegetarian and vegan recipes. Features include Top Sante (see above), The Guardian, Women’s Running, Red! magazine, Vegetarian…
Chocolate Pretzel Energy Bars
After a big race, I’m always starving, and desperately crave two things – salt and protein. This can lead to some of my most pleasing food inventions. After the Pocklington 10 miler, I demolished Harissa Hummus and beetroot crisp sandwiches in my chia seed pittas. After a training run last week, I went weak at the…
Total Warrior, Leeds 2014 Race Report
Huge thanks to Zsolt Sandor at MothershipUK for the fantastic photos It is a truth universally acknowledged that lots of people think we’re total nutcases. Admittedly, our idea of fun (running the 96 miles of the West Highland Way, signing up for triathlons when one of us doesn’t own a bike etc.) is not shared by…
Feta and Cherry Tomato Flaky Pastry Pizza
Heavens, there’s a busy summer ahead, what with the World Cup, Wimbledon, the Commonwealth Games and all manner of other sporting events going on. Add in training for races that we’re actually going to run and, blimey, we’re exhausted just thinking about it! We know that you’re doing the same – running, watching, watching, running…
Pineapple, Lemongrass and Ginger Recovery Lollies
A negative split is running the second half of your run faster than the first half. As you’ll remember from my tricky marathon, I am totally rubbish at them. Until now. Knowing that these lollies are in the freezer waiting for me gives me a fantastic impetus to pick up my feet and push on a…
Asian-Inspired Cashew Coleslaw
One of the best things about exercising is how super-excellent food tastes afterwards. After a good bike ride or when I’m marathon training, the volume on my dinner turned up to eleven (Sorry, I just saw This Is Spinal Tap for the first time). It’s impossible to worry about anything when you’re wonderfully, atavistically focussed…
