Good morning/afternoon/evening, and if you haven’t read my previous two challenge posts, Happy New Year! 2021 has to be better than last year was, I hope 🙂 For the reasons I summarised in my first challenge post, I’m trying to cut down how much I spend this year. I’m aiming to get through 2021 without buying any new clothes and shoes. I’m also aiming to get…
Good morning/afternoon/evening, and if you haven’t read my previous post, Happy New Year! For the reasons I summarised in my first challenge post, I’m trying to cut down how much I spend this year. Like, seriously cut back how much I spend. Although I suspect I’ll find not buying any new clothes or shoes easy, I’m not sure the same can be said for my…
Good morning/afternoon/evening and Happy New Year! In a slight change from my usual running goals for the year post, I’m starting the year with a series of three personal challenge posts. All three are linked to my word for 2021 which is “save”. I’m trying to cut down how much I spend this year. Like, seriously cut back how much I spend. I want to…
As 2020 has almost come to an end, I’ve decided to review my running highlights, lowest points, and lessons learned throughout the year. As I spent a large proportion of the year injured and unable to run, I decided to include some non-running highlights and low points. I almost didn’t write this review but I decided that I may enjoy looking back at what has…
I’m aware that I’ve been neglecting my blog a little recently, sorry! To be honest, I haven’t felt like blogging. Finding things to write about became difficult. When the second lockdown ended, Birmingham moved straight into Tier 3 and my full-time job suddenly got ridiculously busy. I’m not complaining as I know how fortunate I am to have a job and to be able to…
Good afternoon and happy Friday. I hope that everyone who reads this is having a great week 🙂 My ‘True Cost of Running’ in 2018 and in 2019 posts both turned out to be incredibly popular, so I decided to review and to share how much I’ve spent on running-related purchases this year. I’m aware that the year isn’t over yet and that it’s only…
I’ve had a lot of injuries over the years and ever since I read Anna’s awesome review I’ve wanted to do my own DNAfit test. I wanted to know if I was predisposed to getting injuries and what my recovery profile is like. Two things stopped me; the price and slightly irrational but genuine fear that I’d discover I have something wrong with me. I…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this rants and raves post after spending most of the day staring at my laptop screen. Most sensible people would probably give their eyes a break, but I’m not sensible! I’ve also had to spend the afternoon listening to my neighbour playing his piano, why do modern houses have such thin walls? As a result, this blog is likely to be more…
Congratulations to everyone who completed the virtual London Marathon or any other distance today. You are all amazing 🙂 I attempted to complete my own virtual London Marathon but failed. I had what I thought was a cunning plan; I was going to walk throughout the night and early morning. I was going to capture the 26.2 miles in selfies; at the end of each…
I have another guest post for you this morning provided by Sarah who represents Victorem, a brand that specialises in resistance bands. Thanks Sarah. Although I use resistance bands on an almost daily basis, I haven’t personally used Victorem resistance bands. I wasn’t provided any Victorem resistance bands to review, so I don’t feel I’m in a position to recommend them or to provide any…
