What a week it has been. It was my son's birthday party this week, and we had over 30 people at the house including kids which was awesome but crazy! We survived and I even made the time to make my son a monster truck cake - but I have spent the rest of the... Continue Reading →
When your body is telling you to rest…
It happens to us all...we work hard, train hard, and push and push - until our body finally kicks back and says STOP. That's been me for the last 5 days - sick with flu and absolutely no training- it sucks! I have a fairly demanding job, life and top that with trying to train... Continue Reading →
Slowing things down with #lchf and running

Too busy to run?
This week and part of last week has been so busy I feel like I haven't had room to breathe ! As a result though I haven't done as much training as I would like. I have tried to fit things in when I can and have had lots of late nights and early starts... Continue Reading →
Running in the rain – do you or don’t you?
I woke up this morning at 4.45am and was meant to run outside with my friends but I saw that it was raining, rolled over and went back to sleep and then went to the gym later in the morning. Does that horrify you? Am I a wimpy runner for not running in the rain?... Continue Reading →
Park2Park race coming up and a few winter running tips
So training is going well so far this week. I think I mentioned already that I've entered the Ipswich Park2Park. Nothing like a nice hilly 5k to get the legs going. I did my first training run last week around the course and it was -1! I'm not too good at running in the heat... Continue Reading →
