First Impressions of the Adidas Supernova Rise 3
In a world where fast shoes get a lot of attention, the daily trainer often gets overlooked. But in reality, we do most of our mileage in our everyday shoes, the easy miles, the volume, the warm ups/cool downs - the important stuff that makes up the bulk of our training. And yet the carbon plated shoes are the sexy ones. The ones that we google, watch and read reviews religiously before spending our money (and often lots of it) on the latest racers. Some of my favourite shoes are the reliable, comfy, OK my max cush trainers. One of my goals for 2026 is to review and share my...

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...
Swimming Nutrition: How to fuel for Swim Serpentine
Swim Serpentine, the 2 mile swim in London's Serpentine lake is on a lot of runner's bucket lists for one reason... the London Classics. The London Classics comprise of the London Marathon, Ride 100 (a 100 mile bike ride looping out of London) and the Swim Serpentine....
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...
