Is the Garmin Venu 3S Good Enough for Marathon Training?
I have worn a number of Garmin watches over the years, from the Forerunners to Fenix models but this was my first time trialling the Venu range (kindly sent by Very.co.uk to test). Garmin Running Smartwatch Venu 3S Running watches range hugely in both price and reliability. You can pay hundreds for a watch where you only use a small number of its features, or you can get a cheaper watch that doesn't do everything you need it to. I put the Garmin Venu 3S to the test to see if it could withstand the demands of marathon training... I'm focusing mostly on the running side of the watch features -...

Berlin Marathon 2024 Race Recap
There's a chance that after 15 marathons that I have become a little too relaxed about things, and make interesting decisions...like wearing new shoes on race day, or testing our beetroot loading for the first time. One of those things turned out to be a good decision. The other did not. I plan to do a full review of the Adidas Adizero EVO SL trainers I wore on race day but spoiler alert, I really liked them (although they didn't have a lot of grip on wet road). And the beetroot/nitrate loading (spoiler alert, don't do what I did and make sure to test them before race day!) Listen to the...

Could Beetroot Help You Run a PB?
When it comes to racing, many of us are looking for those marginal gains to help us run a PB. Like ensuring we are fuelled properly, utilising a proper carb load, trying out the latest Super Shoes...but what about nitrate loading? For this week's episode of the Cook...
The ‘Easiest’ Way to Get in to The Tokyo Marathon
I know a lot of people who are on the hunt for their Six Star Medal and for many, they are missing one or two elusive bibs; Boston & Tokyo. To run the Boston Marathon you have a couple of options - run a time qualifier, run for charity (usually $10,000+) run...
Boston Marathon 2024 Race Recap
In my opinion, the Marathon Majors are special. All marathons are special in their own way but there's something about the Majors that I just love. The extra fan fare, the events in the lead up to race day, the 'stash'. It's the running equivalent the the Golf Majors...
UppaBaby Ridge Running Buggy Review
UppaBaby is a well respected, premium brand within the buggy market and many friends have UppaBaby buggies for everyday use (we just use a Babyzen Yoyo and Thule Urban Glide 2) which has definitely saved us a lot of space and meant we don’t need 3 buggies (or more!)...
Coros Pace 3 – Kipchoge Edition Review
I've been a Garmin girl almost since I started running. The first watch I bought was a huge old Garmin that took up most of my wrist and definitely could not be worn at any other time aside from running. Luckily running watches have come long way in the last 12 years...
Barcelona Half Marathon 2024 Race Recap
When Brooks invited me out to Barcelona to run the half, I thought it would be a great opportunity to do a long run in marathon training. But then my training plan had it down as a race so with 24 hours to go, I decided to opt for the Brooks Hyperion Elite 4 (Brooks'...
Hong Kong Half Marathon 2024 Race Recap
I often google race dates before booking a holiday, just checking to see if there's anything I can sign up for while I'm there. Typically it's a local 5K but every once in a while you hit the jackpot and manage to overlap your dates *coincidentally with a big city...
Thule Urban Glide 2 Running Buggy Review
We’ve probably all been overtaken by a runner sprinting past with a buggy at parkrun. I had aspirations of being my strongest ever when pushing the buggy but the reality is, buggy running is hard! Even with something as nimble and easy to push as the Thule Urban...
Running Kit I’m Stocking up on Black Friday 2023
Black Friday sales are a great time to stock up on essentials like running fuel, socks, and sports bras, as well as picking up pricier items, your next pair of trainers, a new running jacket or just something pretty you've had your eye on. With that said, I'm really...
