What running has taught me

Running hurts sometimes Age 12, I was volunteered by my class to run the 800m at sports day. I was never an athletic child, and the thought of running around a track, with the entire school watching, filled me with dread. I was so worked up about it, that when I went to the track … Continue reading What running has taught me

Runderwear Review

I have been lucky enough to have been a Runderwear ambassador for the past year, and Runderwear have kindly sent me lots of kit to try out so I thought I would share my favourite pieces of kit and explain why I like them so much. I have been using Runderwear products for around 3 … Continue reading Runderwear Review

I’m not a real runner

I've heard this phrase a lot recently and it worries me if I am quite honest. It worries me because running is supposed to be inclusive, yet there are a lot of people under the misconception that they're not real runners, because a small minority of people are telling them that they're not fast enough … Continue reading I’m not a real runner

Why summer is made for trail running

There is nothing I love more than pulling on my trail shoes on a summer’s day, and heading out onto the trails to see where they take me. A feast for the five senses: the spectacular views, or even if you’re on urban trails, the way the sunlight turns a wooded path into a glorious … Continue reading Why summer is made for trail running

Why I’m running Miles for Mind – some words on bullying

It sounds silly when I write this down - I mean I'm … Continue reading Why I’m running Miles for Mind – some words on bullying

Fell-racing – falling with style

Fell running, sometimes known as hill running, but not to be confused with mountain running, is the sport of running and racing, off road, over upland country where the gradient climbed is a significant component of the difficulty. Since moving to the edge of the West Pennine Moors last autumn, fell racing has been on … Continue reading Fell-racing – falling with style

Running the Nationals

If you're a regular runner, how often do you get an opportunity to compete with the best athletes in the country? To toe the same startline, and to set off on the same gun? It doesn't happen in many sports, but the English Cross Country Association National Championships is one such event. I had been … Continue reading Running the Nationals

What running has taught me about myself

December is always a time for reflection, so I sat down today to write a blog post about my year, but was stumped as to how to sum up a year where I've achieved so much without a plan, without sounding like a hypocrite. As a running coach, my business thrives on setting goals, making … Continue reading What running has taught me about myself
