My Current Running Shoe Rotation
I have a lot of pairs of trainers. Running shoes obviously (both trail and road), casual trainers, shoes for weights, and I’m even considering a pair of Padel shoes to really hit the ‘millennial into fitness’ stereotype (there’s a new padel centre near us that I’m keen to start trying to play regularly with Tom!). I’m lucky I get to test a lot of shoes both being sent and from purchasing them as a ‘work expense’ (as I tell my husband and accountant!) and my goal is to do more reviews of running shoes for women that take their training seriously but are mid pack runners. I'm...

ASICS Nimbus 27 Review
I realise I'm really behind with my shoe review posts and have so many more to write/post/share - plus am going to start sharing more YouTube shoe content because honestly I just don't think there are enough female shoe reviewers (currently I look to RuntotheFinish and Meg from Believe in the Run but am lucky to be friends with them so often just send a text saying 'would I like these?'). I recently posted this on instagram after an article in RunHer mag shared a similar sentiment. So let me know which shoes should I spend money on so that you don't waste yours? What pair do you want to know...

Garmin Forerunner 165 Review: Is this the best beginner running watch?
As someone who wears my running watch all day everyday (mostly so I don’t forget to put it back on, plus I like getting the HR and sleep data) I love a watch that doesn’t immediately look like a fitness watch. And the look of the Garmin watches wins every time against...
Adidas Pro 4 Review (from an average runner)
These shoes have been in my cupboard since November waiting for the right moment to put them to a proper test. But you know what they say about not saving your best for best, otherwise you might never use them. I used them for a few workouts before testing them out...
ASICS Novablast 5 Review
I wore a pair of ASICS for my very first marathon, the London Marathon back in 2012. I remember buying the first pair from Sweaty Betty with no clue what I was looking for. Then a second pair from the London ASICS store after having a gait analysis.I’ve loved a lot of...
Sydney Marathon: The 7th Marathon Major
Sydney Marathon ballot opens tomorrow and is the latest marathon to join the World Marathon Majors. The original Six Star medal won't change and they won't be making a 7-star medal, rather waiting for a 9-star option, likely when the two other candidate races (Cape...
The Best High Impact Sports Bras for Runners with Big Boobs
Every female runner *should* be running in a high impact sports bra. Research shows just how much your chest tissue moves around when you run and how much damage is caused if you don't have some real support, no matter your size. However, for those of you that have...
Adidas Adizero EVO SL Shoe Review
There aren't many shoes I would run a marathon right out of the box in... OK, that's a bit of a lie, because unless I'm racing for a time, I'm usually willing to put things to the test in pursuit of a good review opportunity. But truthfully there aren't many...
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...
Berlin Marathon 2024 Race Recap
