I have to admit, I got a little teary during the second of our guided 5K runs for International Women’s Day yesterday. Supporting the launch of the This Girl Can campaign with RunLeeds, we were running with our all-abilities group along the canal in a sudden burst of glorious sunshine. The more experienced runners had…

5 Amazing Reflective Accessories for Runners
Hey, you, runners! You are great, you are powerful, you are better than you were yesterday. You are, however, NOT INVINCIBLE. This winter, I have been seeing a lot of runners out in head-to-toe black, no reflectors, headphones in and it gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. We need to have a talk about reflective gear….
Runners Need Leeds – new store
We’ve been saying for ages that running is the Best. Thing. Ever. It seems that now millions of other people agree with us. Yippee! According to recent research from Sport England (they do loads of research, you know – check out their latest stats), more than 2 million – 2 million! – people in Britain…
Chaopraya Thai Cooking School + Tofu Pad Thai Recipe
Sometimes it’s hard to be a food blogger (sing it like Tammy Wynette). Actually, that’s not true – it’s not hard, not even slightly. Especially when a restaurant like Chaopraya, gets in touch and asks if we’d like a lesson in cooking delicious Thai food. Why, yes, we most certainly would! Thank you, universe. We spent…
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…

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…
Light Night Art Runs
Some people when they’re tapering for a marathon lay on the sofa and eat cake. This is perfectly reasonable but we prefer a different approach. Such as planning Light Night Art Runs, that involve running with a hundred other people festooned in fairy lights and glow sticks through a crowded city that has turned itself…
5 Ways To Enjoy Tapering
Tapering can be torment but we Veggie Runners have some tips to help you enjoy the experience. When you’ve been marathon training for months, tapering is miserable. It seems counterintuitive but giving your body a rest at this stage in the game can be pure torture. With the Yorkshire Marathon looming over us, we’re hitting the…
Running Mix – Keep Running 170bpm
It’s been a while since I made a running mix, but now that I’m training for the Yorkshire marathon with the Veggie Runners crew in support of WaterAid, I felt it necessary to make something for those long runs. This one has a faster cadence at a steady 170bpm. If that’s too much for you, give my…
Commonwealth Legacy Art Run with Architecture and Design Scotland
This summer we held the first “Leg-a-See” Art Run with Architecture and Design Scotland. We were proud to be part of Glasgow’s GREEN2014 programme exploring the environmental legacy of the Commonwealth Games.
