Good morning Ferals - and happy Saturday to you! This is a little write up on my 3rd day on the West Highland Way and the 4th instalment in my little WHW series. It's coming about 4 MONTHS after I actually ran the WHW - who's surprised? Not me. Unfortunately, life, as it always does, [...]
Good Morning Ferals! And happy Saturday to you! Today is my third instalment in my little West Highland Way series. Day two took me along the second half of Loch Lomand, through dense evergreen woodland and down into Tyndrum. It was a glorious day of running in the beautiful Scottish sunshine over incredibly varied terrain [...]
Good morning Ferals! Finally time for another Gear Review! This time, I've had the pleasure of using and abusing the Iridium Hybrid for the ENTIRE winter season so I can bring you a full report on what I loved and what I wasn't the biggest fan of. So first of all, what is it? The [...]
Hello Ferals! Today's blog is all about how and what to pack for a day of running in the mountains. This is the standard kit that I would pack into my Montane VIA Claw 14 if I was heading out for a full day. I do have a much smaller running pack that just squeezes in a bit [...]
We pulled into our campsite somewhere after 10 pm, battered from a long drive. The sun had set out the driver's side window hours ago leaving us to navigate the long single track roads to East Soar in the dark. The weather for the last week had been... less than favourable. Not what we wanted [...]

Wow - Hi guys! It has been a long old while since I wrote about my Ultra Training - fear not, I have not given up. I have actually managed to stick to the training plan incredibly well for the first time EVER! I have just not had the motivation to write about my training [...]
Good Morning Ferals! I have some incredibly exciting news. Truth is, it's been brewing for a few months but I didn't want to jinx it by telling you too early. I have teamed up with the incredible BMC to take on the role of Head of the Women's Development Group for their Equity Committee. I'm [...]
Good morning, Ferals! I do apologise for being on the quiet side for the last few weeks - I have been bogged down in pre-spring/summer season work bits and trying to get as much training in as possible. We did, however, manage to squeeze in a short skiing holiday to Borovets last week and we [...]
Hello Ferals! The weather is finally starting to turn and we are now getting some frosty mornings! I thought now would be a good time to review my beloved Phoenix Jacket. I've actually owned this jacket for about 4 months already and I was originally going to put out a review for you at the [...]
