We're half way through May which means I've reached the half way point for Miles for Mind. I challenged myself to run 75 miles across May in order to raise awareness around mental health and well being. I'll be honest, it's been a bit more of a bumpy ride to get here than I'd anticipated.… Continue reading Miles for Mind Update

Running mantras…yey or nay?
I've a quick question, have you ever used a mantra when you've been running or doing any exercise where you've got to push yourself? If you pick a running magazine at the moment you're likely to come across an article extolling the virtues of having a mantra. Or that's how it feels to me. It… Continue reading Running mantras…yey or nay?
Are you ok?
Are you ok? Three simple words, but for some of us is difficult to answer. How many of us are truly honest with ourselves and friends and families when we're struggling? I know I'm not. This week is UK Maternal Mental Health Matters Awareness week (29 April 2019 - 5 May 2019 and today specifically… Continue reading Are you ok?
Time for a new running challenge
I need to try to mix up my running if I'm going to improve as I have a habit of just plodding along at the same pace no matter what type of training session I'm doing. Warm up, easy run, cool down, they all seem to be at the same pace. So it's time for… Continue reading Time for a new running challenge

Anyhow, it got me thinking about how much I share of the boys… Continue reading To share or not to share?
Racing…is it all about the bling?
I love a bit of race bling. I've always thought it's symbolic of the effort I've put in, both in terms of my training and the race itself. In the past I've always run for me, whether I've run as a member of a formal running club or more recently on my own. It's always… Continue reading Racing…is it all about the bling?
