We’re happy to add DJ Anna Wall’s ‘The Bricks That Built My House’ Mix to our Veggie Runners Running Mix collection – she’s a woman in demand!

The Pain Barrier 10K Mud Run – Review
Photo by SportSunday Event Photography I HATE getting my feet wet. With a passion. It’s pathological. I’ll do anything to avoid it. When I ran the West Highland Way in Scotland last year, I probably added about 10 miles to the 96 we were already running trying to find routes that didn’t involve wading through…

NVA Speed of Light – Review

4 Things to do when you can’t exercise
What should you do when you get injured? I’m not talking ice, rest, compress etc. This isn’t going to be a medical advice post – Mum’s the only doctor in Veggie Runners, and she’s a doctor of philosophy, so not much good for a broken ankle or other injuries. This post is talking about things…
5 ways to motivate yourself to get out and run (and a song, too!)
Even Mo Farah doesn’t feel bothered to run some days. Here are on getting yourself out of the door when you really don’t feel like it. Just go for 10 minutes. Chances are, you’ll get in to it while you’re out, and stay out for longer. If not, at least you got some fresh air…
Running Away From It All
By Sarah Leitch Do you ever fancy running into the distance, instead of in circles? And what about running alongside mountains and rivers instead of round the park? I’ve been doing just that recently, in the Scottish Highlands where I live. I love the idea of travelling on foot along the old pathways here. I’ve found…
Running Mix – The Lonely Runner
This running mix was inspired by two of the best ever running films; The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962) and Chariots of Fire (1981). If you haven’t seen these films I highly recommend giving them a view. There are some great quotes that I’ve taken from the films and put into the mix….
Book Review: Run, Dean Karnazes
This review was written by our good friend and, though she modestly claims otherwise, very fast runner, Katie Fox. “Run” by Dean Karnazes is the first book on serious running I read.
