London Based Runner/Queen Of Sass
In precisely 11 days, I will have (hopefully!) completed my first triathlon. I haven’t stuck to my training plan; in fact, I haven’t even looked at my training plan. I could potentially regret this when it comes to triathlon day, and in general I would always advocate following a structured training plan. However, the reason... Continue Reading →
I’ve recently heard a lot of people use the term ‘August Anxiety’; this describes the panic/dread associated with the thought of summer coming to an end. I can relate to this, having experienced similar anxiety around this time last year. Before delving into this, I want to touch on the difference between feeling anxious and... Continue Reading →
Firstly, I wanted to apologise for no longer blogging on a weekly basis - SO many of my fans have been asking why this is the case (two people have asked me). I only want to blog about topics that I feel passionately about, and by committing to blog on a weekly basis, it was... Continue Reading →

Having recently received yet another targeted ad inviting me to take part in an 'eight week summer fat blast challenge', I wanted to share my thoughts on why I will always say “no thanks” to diet culture. Diet culture is all around us. It’s plastered over social media, at the gym, on food packaging, in... Continue Reading →
I was asked to write this post by a friend who struggles with anxiety. I hope they find it helpful, and I hope that others do too. Earlier this year, I was encouraged to start journaling*. I made a half-hearted attempt at this a few months ago but, to put it bluntly, I didn't really... Continue Reading →
With the new series of Love Island impending, I can't deny that I'm looking forward to eight weeks of tacky reality tv at its finest. I am not being hyperbolic when I say I enjoy trash tv! The appeal of Love Island is clear; the drama, the incredibly attractive contestants, the potential romance, the unnecessary... Continue Reading →
