Lancashire Lass, global trotter, currently residing in Manchester...trail running aficionado and advanced personal trainer at your service :) Been fortunate to travel to around 270 cities across our globe and fortunately the runners have some with me to most places! Running has been my best friend and worst enemy for about 6 years now.

Retaining your Running Mojo

This year I’ve been smashing up the KMs across mutiple races, mainly in the Lake District. But as most people who run races regularly know at some point you start to ask yourself why?…how do you keep up the motivation when all you wanna do is rest and eat?  Well I managed to keep my […]
