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 …
I Need To Stop Snacking
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 …

Weight Loss – How To Do It

Why I Didn’t Join A Slimming Club
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.

Bannatynes Success Story

Getting Started With Ultra Running
In September 2019 I had gained a whole stack of confidence after entering the marathon, completing 2 1/2 marathons and lost a stack of weight I clicked on a website 😱and I pressed the button to enter an event. A 7 hour event 😱 Surely it’d be a fab way to just have a stack …
My First 20 Mile Run
Starting on this journey back in January, where I couldn’t even contemplate running a marathon as I puffed my way around a 1.5 mile circuit, I would have been in absolutely awe of the person who would get to running 20 miles within the same year. 20 miles is a LONG way! When you think …
