Last week Monday we had the first part in this blog post on nutrition from qualified nutritionist Nikki Haggett, if you didn’t read part one here it is and now on to the second and final part…so much good advice here, 6. Meal planning can be an act of self care – sometimes in the rush…

Are you done with seeing yourself as a failure? I 100% am. So yesterday I wrote a provocative blog post called To the Man in the Van Thank You, all about being shamed on Tuesday night when I was training out on the streets of East London as part of a CrossFit Session. The response…

For the longest time I have wanted to bring onboard a nutritionist to support women in my groups, but it has been hard to find the right one. Someone who understands that losing weight isn’t always the motivation behind running for some of us, and also someone who isn’t going to feed us hype and…

Nine out of ten times these brands are completely inappropriate for me to partner with, despite there being huge financial incentive for me to do so. Sometimes these are just brands where there…

So this is a post I have thought about writing for a long, long time. And today seems like as a good a day as any to pluck up the courage and simply write it. I am often asked, what will you do when you lose all your weight? when talking to people about my…
