Postnatal Running with Nike Epic React

Bibi Rodgers — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 20:12:15 +0000

While this was a sponsored opportunity from Nike, all content and opinions expressed here are my own. I’m just getting back on track – or finding a whole new one – after the birth of baby Stanley Atticus five weeks ago. Labour went according to plan – home birth in the pool in my dining...

Best Reflective Running Gear

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 12:43:13 +0000

Training in winter means you need the best reflective running gear you can find. Here in the UK, it’s dark morning and evening from October through to springtime. Few people have the luxury of regular daytime running so if you want to get the miles in, you need to get the gear that will keep...

Five Easy Ways To Beat Stress

Jayne Rodgers — Wed, 15 Nov 2017 06:45:09 +0000

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...

Bibi Rodgers — Sun, 08 Oct 2017 18:35:10 +0000

“It’s going to be super muddy tomorrow – you do have trail shoes, don’t you?” said Mum, the night before our Women’s Running 10K race, a trail race that we’ve have been ambassadors for for about six months. Hmm. Well, yes, I did HAVE them, in the sense that I own trail shoes. Several pairs...

Can being pregnant make you run faster?

Bibi Rodgers — Thu, 07 Sep 2017 06:55:04 +0000

All of a sudden, as I began my second trimester of pregnancy, my running started to get much faster and feel easier than it had for years. The advice, quite rightly, is to not focus on PBs while pregnant, and just enjoy being active for as long as you can. But I’ve suddenly found myself...

Round Sheffield Run Race Report

Bibi Rodgers — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 20:28:01 +0000

“I’ve just got the opportunity to go to Glastonbury… would it be okay if I missed the Round Sheffield Run?” asked Mum on the phone, 3 weeks ago. Hm, to make her miss the most iconic festival in the world to run around South Yorkshire with me – it would have seemed churlish, wouldn’t it?...

Active City Break in Cardiff with Visit Wales

Jayne Rodgers — Mon, 22 May 2017 15:28:28 +0000

Mum and I live in different cities, and with our jobs to do and own lives to lead, we don’t get to spend as much time ‘one on one’ as we’d sometimes like. So, when the great team at Visit Wales asked if we Veggie Runners would like to head up to Cardiff to experience...
