75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Runners are a different sort of folk. We all do certain things we’d rather not admit to but I’m pulling back the veil of secrecy today and spilling the tea! We might even tell you we don’t do these things but guess what we do. So if you’re a runner and you’ve always felt a... Continue Reading →
When we think of people in our lives that are really fit and healthy we tend to think of the weekend warrior dedicated types. You know the people that are always posting medal shots of their latest marathon on social media. It seems impossible to imagine logging 50+ miles a week (and it very well... Continue Reading →
For this one everyone’s definition of endurance will be different. For me this would include a half but someone else could run that with no extra steps. For obvious reasons virtual races really took off over the last year and for some they will be here to stay. For this one we are talking about... Continue Reading →
Alright this isn’t serious but then it kinda is. I’m not someone you look at and think ‘wow I bet you she’s really strong’ quite the opposite really. For a long, long time I sort of lived up to that stereotype too. There’s no getting around the fact that I’m tall and skinny, lanky, wiry... Continue Reading →

I challenge you to run past a beach without taking a turn and actually running on the sand. I live in an area with 10 separate beaches and 8 of them are on routes I regularly run. Most of them are very small but a couple are getting on to half a km or more.... Continue Reading →
There seems to be two types of workers in the world those that sit for their jobs and everyone else. Almost all of the jobs I’ve done are more physical than office work. I’ve worked in a lab and taught which is pretty much just standing. But I’ve also worked as a waitress, lifeguard, hotel... Continue Reading →
Last year my running motivation really suffered. I’m planning not for that to happen again this year. It’s still too early to say whether any of us will be running fall races this year but we’re all hoping right? Even if we are racing this year training season is a long way off still. It’s...

No matter what sport you do the gear you use becomes incredibly important. Some of it is so central like a bike to a cyclist that your love of the sport almost entirely depends on it. There are other items that while important are either less so or generally done pretty well. Finally there is... Continue Reading →
