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…

Training Tips For First-Time Marathon Runners

Training Tips For First-Time Marathon Runners

What are the best tips for first-time marathon runners? With eight marathons between us, and some spectacular successes and failures in those eight, we’ve had a chance to think about this. We had a fantastic training session recently sharing our thoughts on this with Maxime and Phil, two of the Pink Lady® Apples team, who…

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…

26 Ways Skiing is exactly like Training for a Marathon

26 Ways Skiing is exactly like Training for a Marathon

I just had a spectacular week skiing in the French Alps – huge amounts of food, even more exercise; the highest of highs and the lowest of lows; decked out head to toe in sportswear. And I thought, “Hold on, I’ve been here before. More than once. Skiing and training for a marathon are literally the…

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…

The Joy of Tapering

The Joy of Tapering

After months of training and many miles of running, it almost time for the Yorkshire Marathon. Hopefully, this time next week we’ll be laying with our legs up the wall and, despite the tricky angle, sipping champagne. Bendy straws exist for a reason. It’s tapering time, when our schedules say we should run less, eat…
