Spacebuns Runs!!
Today I shimmied to the very beginning of my Instagram feed. It’s rest day today and I was having a little brew in bed and watching the rain cascade down the window. I look a little journey back on my feed and it’s only when we give ourselves the opportunity to look backwards we see …
Let’s start with the bloody obvious here! Ultra running burns stacks of calories. You are on your feet for long periods of time and are covering a lot of ground. The calorie burn can be immense. So, it’d make sense to simply say YES, ultra running is ace for weight loss but that’s certainly NOT …
Let me set the scene; In terms of the hardcore of ultra runners the Ambleside 60k may well seem like a little trot out. I saw it referred to on Strava as a “baby ultra” but please don’t let the distance of this event fool you, it might be small but it’s truly mighty! The …
Have you ever thought – jeez, I really need to knock the snacks on the head? I know that so often snacking is seen to be the mega beast, the thing that’s getting in your way, the thing that’s stopping you from loosing weight and changing your life BUT is that really the case? I’m …

Something I consistently get asked is what “plan” I followed to ditch my weight or “do you do slimming world” or there’s an expectation that I did some extreme BS. YES, I did consider (fleetingly) joining a slimming club when I started this journey. They’d worked for me in the past so surely they’d work …
Should you be going to the gym if running is your priority? I know that for runners all we want to do is RUN. I also know that people say that you get better at running BY RUNNING. I also know, for sure, that strength training will make you a better runner. I have worked …
I was invited by Bannatynes to record a little video with them to celebrate my success (and obviously for marketing purposed for them). It’s nice to have a little shimmy through what you’ve achieved. We so often don’t give ourselves credit for how far we’ve come. Here’s the finished article…. I also got the opportunity …
So, I’m day 2 post my first ultra writing this and I simply wanted to download my thoughts about getting started, what I did and how it went. The first ultra I did was from Saturn Running and I took part in their “To Infinity & Beyond Event.” I entered this race in September 2019 …
