Train. Improve. Repeat.
As I started writing this post yesterday I was sat looking out of the window at the rain pouring down! It has been so sticky lately - I hoped that the rain would lighten the humidity - but no - it has stayed humid. Today has been slightly better but I am actually looking forward to...

I've often watched athletics on TV and seen athletes running in what look like long socks, and more recently seen runners in mass races wearing them too. My attitude has always been there is no way I would wear them having quite big calves...until now. I am a convert!! Realigntech contacted me to see whether I... Continue Reading →
As you may know I made a radical change to my diet in April last year, and now eat a Low Carb High/Healthy Fat diet. It's going really well but it has been an issue where running has been concerned, as gone are the days of taking my Science In Sport energy gels which I... Continue Reading →
Hope you had a nice relaxing Christmas. I popped up to the post with my husband to visit his family and it was chaotic as usual . I'm never used to having lots of people around so 7 adults, 3 kids and 2 babies was pretty full on! My mother in law has just moved... Continue Reading →

The craziness in my life is intensifying with one week before I move house 50 minutes away. With a busy job, packing and a toddler it has been somewhat challenging to train but I am not stressing about it as one more week and I will hopefully start to have some normality back in my...

My life is a roller-coaster at the moment! As a result I have neglected my running, this blog and anything that doesn't involve my job or packing! Yes you heard me right - packing! My family and I are moving in less than 3 weeks. Going rural I never thought i would say it but... Continue Reading →
I realise it has been a while since I last wrote. I don't know sometimes how people manage to keep up with everything - I have been finding having a full time job, studying, a toddler going through trying moments, trying to fit in training as well as numerous other things have kept me away...
