Race Report: Dublin Rock and Roll Half Marathon 2018

Race Report: Dublin Rock and Roll Half Marathon 2018

Dublin Rock and Roll Half Marathon Race Report Or, to put it more accurately, ‘How The Pope Ruined My Weekend’. Not that I bear the guy any grudge but all of the arrangements for this race were changed to accommodate his visit to Ireland later in the month, making this very popular half marathon rather unpopular…

SimplyHealth Great Run Series

SimplyHealth Great Run Series

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…

Setting Our Intentions

Setting Our Intentions

What does setting an intention mean? The idea can sound a bit vague and woolly, as if saying ‘my intention is to be happy today’ will actually make you happy. But, hey, guess what? It can! The whole idea behind setting an intention is to generate a mindset that you apply throughout a particular period of time…

Abbey Dash 2014 Race Report

Bring it, Abbey Dash! #sweatybetty #abbeydash #running #fitness #TomTom A photo posted by Veggie Runners (@veggie_runners) on Nov 11, 2014 at 1:05am PST The Abbey Dash 17 seconds is not very long at all. Ordinarily, you lose 17 seconds without even noticing they’ve slipped away, disappeared. Sometimes, though, 17 seconds is forever, bending time and…

Faster, faster – Aiming for a sub-50 10k

Now that I’ve gone long and steady, I’m ready for my next challenge at the upcoming Abbey Dash 10k – short and speedy. I’m just not 100% sure where to begin. I have to not lose sight of the progress I’ve made, since I ran my first race in 2012. I just am not sure…

Yorkshire Marathon 2014 Race Report

Yorkshire Marathon 2014 Race Report

What’s the definition of ‘awesome’? As Bibi will attest, I have a problem with this word. People say a TV programme was awesome, that they just had an awesome cake etc. These things are not awesome. They are things you happen to like a lot but they do not inspire an overwhelming feeling of wonder, as…

Leeds Xpress Triathlon – Review

Leeds Xpress Triathlon – Review

I’ve always avoided triathlon because it all seemed so complicated and technical. Oh, and really rather difficult. Then I saw the fabulous Brownlee brothers whizzing round the Commonwealth Games and thought, ‘That actually looks quite easy!’ When the first thing that I did at Leeds Xpress Triathlon was put my indelible tattoo on upside down,…

Total Warrior, Leeds 2014 Race Report

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…

Triathlon: Done!

Triathlon: Done!

I did my first triathlon and I absolutely loved it. I wish I could do it again right away, so I could fix the bits I messed up on and get the same giddy, companionable feeling again. The swim, the bike, the run? All felt within my ability, albeit not super speedy compared to some…

Running a Marathon is Hard : 5 Stages

Running a Marathon is Hard : 5 Stages

Intellectually, I knew that running a marathon would be hard. I pictured blisters, sore legs, maybe being sick a bit. In the end, the physical wasn’t actually the worst of it. I had trained well, had some great kit and have learned (sometimes the hard way) how to fuel myself through a run. I was…
