This weekend, while I was searching for an audiobook to get me through my long Sunday run, I stumbled upon the Runners Connect - Run to the Top podcast. Curious, I downloaded a couple of episodes while I had my pre-run cup of tea. Tea consumed, I pulled on an extra running top, laced up and [...]
I started writing this post on Tuesday on my way back from work and it began something like this: 'Now I'm back to work and the weather has taken a turn for the chillier, following an unseasonably warm Christmas, it now really feels like January and that the New Year is truly here. And 2016 [...]
Before I jump into a January 'New Year' type post, I wanted to write a quick round-up of the Christmas period, which has been especially heavenly. After two blissful weeks away from the office, jam-packed with family and friends, good food, lots of sleep, running and relaxing, I now feel (almost) ready for the year [...]
Last week I was in Chicago for a conference with work. Work trips such as this are so useful for building relationships with our colleagues across the pond. It's so nice to add a human element to all of those emails that shoot between us during the remainder of the year and to be able [...]

This week I've been reading about temptation; in particular, how gender impacts on our propensity to be tempted by food and, as a result, how it can influence our weight loss goals. I started to think about this while reading about the ways in which gender can affect how our bodies process various chemicals - [...]
I have been wearing my Jawbone Up for just over a month now, so I figured it was a good point to make an initial review. Anyone who has found themselves going from a to b with me over the past 6 weeks will know that walking has become my mode of transport of choice. [...]
Apologies for the silence of late. This is certainly not on account of having nothing to write about - far from it, since I seem to be stockpiling articles that I've earmarked for review - but rather due to the distractions offered by plentiful amounts of running (with the start of the cross country season), reading (since [...]
