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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …

It's also getting involved in organised events such as the wonderful Parkrun, Race for Life, the slightly daunting Brighton Marathon …
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 …
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 …
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 …
