Caffeine and Runners

It’s been one of those ‘blink and you’ve missed it’ weeks. It may be because I have been busily tackling my list of goals for September already, including getting in my first squash session of the year as well as going to my first Muay Thai lesson ever! It is a busy week that is… Read More…

Breathing Patterns and Running

Breathing Patterns and Running

A couple weeks ago, I was working with my physiotherapist and he was barking orders while I ran on a treadmill. “Keep your left foot 1/2 cm to the left.” “Get rid of that toe strike on your right foot!” “Midfoot on the left.” I was thinking so hard about running properly that I felt… Read More…

For The Days You Don’t Want To Run

For The Days You Don’t Want To Run

I thought I would use the rest of the week to tackle some of the common running questions that I get from you. The problem is, they are good questions, which means I have a long answer (per usual) and split them into two posts.  Today’s question: Do you ever have days that you just don’t want to… Read More…

Time Management When Training

I love to be busy, connected and have a problem with the concept that NO is a complete sentence so I am constantly running around when I should be… Read More…
