Can Couch to 5k make me a faster runner?

I recently decided that I am going to complete the Couch to 5k running programme, recommended and built by the the NHS. Everyone I've told about this has been a bit confused, as I'm far from a 'beginner' runner (did I mention I ran a marathon last year? I'm still using that fact to impress …

MK Winter Half Review

As you know, my first half marathon (ever) was supposed to be the Milton Keynes Winter Half back in December. Unfortunately the race was postponed due to a heavy snow forecast. I was gutted, but upon seeing the weather the next day, I realised it was a good call to make. I don’t live too …

Run Up To Christmas – Review

Where to start? When I first saw the words “Run Up To Christmas”, I thought “nice idea” and pretty much signed up on the spot. The concept was pretty straight forward: run as many kilometres as you can over the course of 25 days (1st December to 25th December). The race was a “virtual” one, …

Rockingham 10: Race Review

I’m going to start off this post with a bit of an emotional hurrah regarding the fact that I actually managed to complete a 10 mile run. About 6 months ago, when I signed up to run the Brighton Marathon, I honestly didn’t know if I would ever get to the point of feeling like …

Blenheim Palace 10k: Race Review

Hello beautiful people! Today on the blog I'm reviewing a race I did at the very beginning of October. So, you know by now, I’m marathon training - yada yada yada. This was one of a few races I’ve lined up with my training schedule so that I can actually manage to complete my marathon. …

Race Fees: Fair or Fortune?

After almost five years out of the running game, I've been so keen to take every single opportunity to run that comes up. That means more than just running around my neighbourhood in the evenings. It's also getting involved in organised events such as the wonderful Parkrun, Race for Life, the slightly daunting Brighton Marathon …

Giff Gaff Money Fit 5k 

Picture this. It's 8am on a Saturday morning. Usually I'd be asleep, or at the very least still in bed. But this Saturday is different. As I do every weekday, I've hopped on a train to London (30 mins later than usual, phew!), but unlike most weekdays, I'm heading to run 5km in Shoreditch Park.Yep, you're …

Brighton Marathon 🏃🏻‍♀️

As you're most likely aware, I will be running in the Brighton Marathon 2018, raising money for Guide Dogs.  Just under two months ago, I did a crazy thing and signed up to run the marathon. Before this, I had suffered from a recurring ankle injury every time I went for a run and it had …

Embracing Autumn: Day 2 of Blogtober

When I woke up this morning, I was planning on having a lazy day. It took me a few moments to remember that I had promised myself I would try to do some exercise every day this month, along with the blog. With a whole lot of willpower, I got into my (bright pink) running gear …
