Round up of my first week of a crazy year

2015 is going to be a crazy hectic year as I’ve set so many goals for myself. I’ve already got back to some training, but I can’t train outside on my bike at the moment. I’m also not back to swimming yet, so I’ve been doing a lot of running. One goal is to inspire new runners. I have been focusing...

Giveit100 – what am I focusing on?

I’ve started my Giveit100 challenge today: I’m going to focus on healthy eating and making sensible food choices for 100 days. This morning I weighed myself.

My goals for 2015

I’ve spent the last couple of days discussing the races and events that I want to enter in 2015. Stuart is a firm believer in quality over quantity, whereas I want to enter everything! I quite enjoy doing cross-country running and usually do some of the local cross-country series (CC6) but Stu doesn’t want to risk injury; also he is...

Monday Morning Motivation – Find your greatness

Greatness. It’s just something we made up. Somehow we’ve come to believe that greatness is a gift reserved for a chosen few. For prodigies. For superstars. …And the rest of us can only stand by watching You can forget that. Greatness is not some rare DNA strand. It’s not some precious thing. Greatness is no more unique to us than...

New Year’s Resolutions – is it worth making any?

My New Year’s Resolutions: in 2015, I will be: Yeah, right. With an estimated 14.5 million adults making New Year’s resolutions that focus on fitness and health, self-improvement (or, at least, the desire for self-improvement) is a national hobby here in the UK. Yet very few of us – some estimates say only around 8% – achieve our New Year’s...
