I took a year off from the marathon.  I love running marathons. I (mostly) love training for them.  Honestly I think part of it is relishing the routine of training as a non-routine girl. Of seeing the progress over a 12, 16, 20 week build. And truly, the...

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...
