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...
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...
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...
New York City Marathon Weekend 2023
My feet hurt, my throat is sore and I got a blister from the New York City Marathon Weekend. 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...
Navarino Challenge 10K Race Recap
You know when a 10k isn't quite a 10K, and you just keep running, and running, waiting for the finish line? When you've started to pick up the pace a little too early and aren't sure if you can hold it? Hoping for the finish line to come, and yet it still isn’t...
