We don’t like the ‘new you’ business that saturates the media at the beginning of the year. What’s wrong with the old you?! OK, so maybe we don’t always look after ourselves well enough. Perhaps we eat too much over the holidays. Maybe we don’t exercise enough when there are so many other things going on….
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…

Join us at noon on Saturday 30th November to celebrate the launch of The Tetley with a unique 3-mile run that blends art, history and exercise in one…
Running Away From Home: Barcelona
I love not marathon training! It was a bit (I imagine) like trying for a baby: worthwhile, and with a great goal in mind, but with a bit of the fun taken out of the process. </end of comparison> I’ve just been doing 3-5 milers, a few times a week, at the pace I want…
Yorkshire Marathon Race Report
Sunday was an emotional day for us. After months of training, it was finally time to get our tried and tested running gear on, slap on a bit of vaseline, fill our pockets with gels and Shot Bloks and run the Yorkshire Marathon. It felt like we’d been on this trajectory forever but, despite our…
Mile 20 Hero : Terry Fox
This Sunday, we’ll be running the Yorkshire Marathon and I’m… apprehensive, to say the least. Though I’ve trained well, had a very successful 22 mile run and have got my nutrition strategy in the bag, I’m still worried. The great guys at Marathon Talk say – “Half of 26.2 is 20”, and I’ve heard that you…
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…
The Art Of Running – With Glow Sticks…
Once a year, Leeds city centre becomes awash with light and colour. It’s Light Night, you see, and artists, performers and all manner of entertainers fill the city with light installations of one form or another. This year, for the first time but definitely not the last, Veggie Runners were added into the mix. Working…
Running Mix – Making Up For Teenage Crime
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for a good-time run – David H Allison, a god among running men, has made a new running mix! It’s as brilliant as the other playlists he has so kindly shared with us. Mixes so good they’ll have you dancing when you should be running and vice versa. David’s a…
Putting the Fun in Long Runs
I love running, you know I do, but I’ve been finding the long runs during our training for the Yorkshire Marathon quite taxing. Not the running itself particularly. That can be tough at times but, hey, I’ve read Chi Running so I’m good at being Zen about it. I know it’s temporary and can zone…
Light Night Art Runs
Like Art…? Like Running…? Join us on Light Night Leeds on Friday 4th October. The whole city will be lit up and you can be part of it. Light Night Art Runs are just what you’ve been looking for! Organised by Veggie Runners (that’s us!) and Space2, Light Night Art Runs are lively, fun running…
Race Report – Great North Run
Bibi – The Great North Run was my first half-marathon since I hit-the-wall and heaved-by-the-side-of-the-road at Edinburgh when I tried to run 13.1 miles under 2 hours. As race day approached, and more and more of my colleagues asked me how I intended to do, I would mumble something about “a bit over two hours would…
