There are three things that stand out as I reflect on my solo run (read *shuffle*) across The Two Moors Way. The hot pink foxgloves adding pops of colour against a verdant landscape, the 13kg of backpack digging into my left rotator cuff for more than 12 hours a day, and a constant worry that……

Running with purpose is a pretty cool way to do it. Veganism and environmentalism to take centre stage this year!

World Vegan Day feels like a big deal to me. Ten years ago if you’d have told me I’d be a vegan, writing and podcasting about the subject, I wouldn’t have necessarily laughed at you, but I wouldn’t have quite believed it. My life has been pretty mainstream in terms of lifestyle choices. I grew……

Trying to encapsulate last week’s experience on the Dragon’s Back Race is like trying to bottle lighting, but then I like trying hard things so I’ll give it a go! I’ve been waking up at strange hours – around 4am – which would have been when my alarm went off on camp; ready to grease……

It started with a nightmare. The evening before Operation Crib Goch (OCG), my tired quads were already twitching, but the nightmare was intense. Apparently I was mumbling and screaming in my sleep. Perhaps I’d built this up in my head far more than I realised. For someone who will take on most things, Crib Goch……

Tackling Crib Goch is one of the scariest prospects in my Dragon’s Back Race training plan

When you push your body and mind to its limits, it can feel euphoric when you cross the finish line. You can also just feel exhausted! I’m always humbled when it’s Marathon time of year – you know, all those inspiring people who’ve won a place at the start of London Marathon to raise money……

Believing we can achieve a goal can help us just as much as the physical training I’ve been lucky enough through my work and running to speak and meet some incredible people, who have shown me that believing in ourselves is one of the most powerful drivers to success. Don’t get me wrong. Training for……
