New York City Marathon Weekend 2023
My feet hurt, my throat is sore and I got a blister from the New York City Marathon. Cheering is HARD! I was in the city for marathon weekend and working at the expo for Erica Sara (check out her personalised running jewellery) including the official New York Marathon finishers pieces). It was a lot of fun to see the behind the scenes of the opening and closing of the marathon expo and speak to the thousands of runners picking up their bibs. Although I definitely felt a little jealousy towards everyone running, especially all those running NYC for the first time. On Saturday morning I ran...

Comparing The New Brooks Ghost Max Vs. Ghost 15
I’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for the Brooks Ghost Max to be released since I first learned about them in August. I don’t quite know why the UK seems to be the last location for the Ghost Max to be available (or why the colour options are so different to North...

The Best Places to Run and Refuel in Graz, Austria

Taking a Run Class at Peloton Live Studios, London
I’ve had my Peloton bike for nearly two years and whilst I don’t use it as often as I did due to marathon training, I still love it. As well as the bike classes, I’ve also taken a number of running classes either outside or on my (non-Peloton) tread at home. My...
