    Women’s Only Races

    Thursday, May 23, 2013

    One of the many reasons I started this site was because of a conversation I found myself having repeatedly. Women’s only races. It kinda goes without saying that I’m pro-women. I am one, hence, have kind of a vested interested here. Given the evidence that women are more likely to work out if they can [...]

Heels of the Day

  Behold! The Heels of the Day! Having just booked my holiday for the summer, I find myself wasting hours looking at summer shoes (the word ‘wasting’ belonged nowhere in that sentence – we’re discussing SHOES man, nothing’s wasted there, amiright?). Anyhoo, I came across these beauties by Sophia Webster and it was instant love. [...]

Robin Arzon: MS Runs the US

I’m extremely lucky to count the incredible Robin Arzon as my friend. We may live on different continents, but we are bound by our mutual love of running, sweating and generally being awesome.

The incredibly badass Pavlina Golds headed up the session with an intense workout that burned from the get go. This was a taster class to see how people would respond to it. If they liked it, [...]

Fave Summer Sportswear

As it starts to heat up, we finally get to bust out our summer sportswear collections. It’s no secret, I’m all about not compromising my sense of style just ’cause I work out. I love a bold print, I love colour and I love pieces that are good for ‘crossover’ into regular every day wear. [...]

Cycling: Inclines & Descents

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I spent the weekend in Nice cycling up some big mountains. I got some really excellent coaching while I was there and due to my taking on of the Etape du Tour in July, I was paying particular attention to any instruction given on how to handle inclines and [...]

Cycling Breakthrough!

Well friends, as you know, I’ve been training for the Etape du Tour. I say ‘training’ – it’s been more of a prolonged exercise in how not to whinge week in, week out about how much I dislike cycling. Running is far more enjoyable for me and nowhere near as stuck up (yeah, I said [...]
