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 [...]
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. Over the past few months, I have watched from afar as Robin trained to run five marathons in five days (yeah, you [...]
Edinburgh Marathon is coming up on Sunday – a favourite among many on the marathon circuit. I have one friend who did it last year and one who’s doing it this year (her first marathon!), so I thought I’d catch up with them both to get the perspective of a marathon newbie and some advice [...]
Wednesday night saw the inaugural Spikes & Heels class hit Gymbox in Farringdon and what a class it was! 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, [...]

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 [...]
With so many marathons going on at the moment, toe nails are probably popping off all over the place, so it’s probably unfair of me to be posting sandals, but hey, they’re purdy, deal with it. That heel, the plaform, that perspex trim that doesn’t have a hint of stripper shoe about it – it’s [...]
