27 Year Old London Based Runner/Queen Of Sass
Amidst the copious amounts of Christmas gift guides, clever marketing tactics and delicious recipes, I wanted to touch upon something that I wish was discussed more often. Over the past couple of years, I’ve felt differently about Christmas. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but volunteering at Crisis and my trip to Malawi... Continue Reading →
When I was 6, I went to my first ever Arsenal match with my Dad. I can remember the day SO clearly, partly because my Dad covered my ears throughout to block out any “rude words” shouted by other fans, but also because this is the first time that I was exposed to any form... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago I read an article* about "loud women" (whatever that means) and immediately felt compelled to write about it. Whilst I wouldn’t necessarily class myself as a "loud woman’" and obviously this is a ridiculous phrase, there were many aspects of this article that resonated with me and I wanted to...

I found it difficult to write this post as I have SO much I’d like to share about my trip to Malawi, therefore I thought I would break it down into three separate posts (which could potentially end up being 86 posts if I struggle to contain myself.) This post will cover two of the... Continue Reading →
Having only completed 3 sessions at the Altitude Centre, I am by no means an expert on this topic! However, I have been asked to write a post about this, so I am simply sharing my experience thus far. There is a vast array of benefits associated with exercising at altitude, including improved strength and... Continue Reading →
Upon recently being accepted onto the ultimate Malawi Challenge: Sport with a Purpose, I frantically began searching for training plans for similar challenges. This raised 2 key issues: The majority of plans were created to be undertaken 6 months prior to expedition, and I depart on 6th October I couldn’t find any similar challenges… Therefore...
