Nike salutes the last place marathon finisher in it’s latest ad. I’ve been the person towards the back of the race, dodging the paper cups and wet sponges, hoping at least some of the supporters would still be on the roadside offering shouts of encouragement…and that was after I’d trained to complete the race. Now […]
I have thing for flowers, it’s something I’ve grown into with age. I seem to be embracing my femininity as I get older, I’ve always been a tomboy and I still think I’m part teenage boy and part 30 year old woman in my style. When I saw the Nike Photosynthesis pack I was instantly […]
Nike newest advert #betterforit feels like a shift for the brand, they’re not telling you to win anything or beat anyone but to just give it a go.
Energy gels, a necessary evil? The act of gulping down a sugary syrup when you’re knackered and thirsty doesn’t fill me with joy but they seem to do the trick when you physically and mentally need a boost when you’re about to hit a wall (whilst running) or bonk (on a bike).

I’ve been waiting for the Nike Flyknit Zoom Agility to release for what feels like forever. I’m already a big fan of the zoom agility, a women’s training shoe with the innovative Hex-Zoom outsole, and as soon as I heard they’d be releasing a Flyknit version in that colourway I knew I had to have them.

I’d never been a massive fan of energy drinks, bars or shakes and my hydration routine had always been a glass of water and then a glass of Vimto (the amber nectar for us Brits) after my run, and it had always worked quite well for me. When I started training for a half marathon […]
I tend to run on my own a lot of the time, partly because it’s time where I can just go out and de-stress, plot plans or work things out in my head and partly because I’m a pretty slow runner and don’t like the pressure of having to run faster or the guilt of […]
So, are you a runner? I get asked this question a lot and to be honest I never really know how to answer it. I like to run, sometimes I love to run and sometimes I want to do something else, it sort of depends on what goals I’ve set myself and what mood I’m in. […]
Whenever I tell people I don’t run to music I’m greeted with the same shocked face and the same questions; How do you stay motivated? Do you not get bored? The truth is I can’t cope with the headphone wires getting tangled, gradually falling out of my ears or me yanking it out with a […]
Nike just announced the launch of their latest training shoe, the Nikelab Zoom Hypercross Trainer. We’re starting to see more training shoes in the market and I can confess I only recently started to differentiate what I put on my feet for different forms of exercise…..I was a one shoe fits all. As I started […]
