75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Confession time, I'm usually the one muttering to myself, I am in fact one of those. I even find myself doing it in public, even when I'm totally by myself. Some say talking to yourself out loud makes you crazy others say you're only crazy if you answer, either way everyone talks to their self... Continue Reading →
If you read running blogs and I would argue you should (start with this one) you might get the idea that certain wishes are universal among runners. Don’t we all want to get faster, fo farther, race all the time and look perfect doing it? Sure lots of us do, I’ll confess that those wishes... Continue Reading →
I might sound obvious to seasoned runners but I’ve only recently realized how true that is.

We all hear these cliches things like, “Health is the most important thing”, “Take care of yourself first” and “I’m not as young as I used to be.” That’s all still totally true but we tend to say them without thinking about it anymore. This summer I had the opportunity to help a few older... Continue Reading →
Today is all about fasted cardio. What is it? Why do people do it? And perhaps most importantly should you do it? We will did into a little bit of science here along the way but this time I’m going to put my opinions out there at the start and that is a really strong... Continue Reading →
Everyone says to live a life with no regrets right? Well I hope they mean the big stuff because I regret something pretty much every day. Something like sleeping in, forgetting to put on deodorant, a poor left hand turn, getting suckered in by yet another makeup launch, being too hard on myself or overcooking... Continue Reading →
I read a lot about running and a lot has been written on the subject but one thing you literally never hear about is the fact that it’s ‘somewhat’ normal to have intense heart pain.
