Running with a buggy Q&A

I’m regularly asked questions about running with a buggy (and other issues relating to being a running mum). I thought I’d share some of my insights and some useful links in a single post… Do I need a special buggy? It’s recommended that you only run with a buggy that is designed for running. There are a number of different...

What now?

So, although I’m not feeling like things have been going well this year, I’ve now done my ‘A’ races. This year has not been the year for me to do an Ironman (not least for financial reasons), but I have managed to do a 5km (3.1 miles) swim, a 100 mile (160km) bike ride and a marathon (42.2km/26.2 miles). Since...

Buggy Mums, parkrun, JPCC and a sundae

Wednesday was a rainy day, but that didn’t stop me from going along to Buggy Mums. I knew that Christine would have planned a session that would keep us moving and I wasn’t wrong. Unsurprisingly, we were a small group of just 7 people today, but that didn’t make it any less fun. One brave lady came along for the...

What I’ve been doing

It includes marshalling a race, attending a Giant store workshop, parkrunning and more. Sunday 22nd January No running for me today. Stuart, baby...

Back on track for a spring marathon

Time is passing so quickly these days. There is so much that I want to blog about and never enough time! I had intended to go to Buggy Mums on Thursday last week, but the weather forecast was very bad. I knew that the venue (Weston Shore) is quite exposed, so I really dithered about whether to go or not...

Training with my baby

Today I went to my first ever Buggy Mums session. I’ve been looking forward to it ever since I learnt about its existence in November. It’s run by ParkLives, which is an initiative by CocaCola to bring free sports activities to city parks across the UK. It’s fantastic that I can go training with my baby (instead of leaving her...

Big round up

It feels like ages since I’ve had a chance to blog. Christmas was hectic and baby M takes up an awful lot of time (who knew it was possible to sit doing nothing but watch a baby for hours!) The good news is that I’m getting back to running after having a baby and it’s fine! Penrose parkrun On Christmas...
