When I talk to my non running friends about running a common theme bubbles to the surface; ‘don’t you get bored?’, ‘how do you keep going?’ I certainly didn’t wake up one morning and say to myself, ‘I’m going to run for 3 hours this morning’, it’s been a slow and gradual process over about … Continue reading What I listen to on a run

Thoughts on food- The Food diary
Some people may say I'm a fad dieter. I call it being a scientist and experimenting, where n=1. Without going deep and long form over my dieting history, it is safe to say there have been ups and downs in both weight and my mental attitude towards it. Mentally I've been unhealthy thin and unhealthy … Continue reading Thoughts on food- The Food diary
Tarawera Miler Training Diary- Week 2
Well well welcome back to the training diary. As I said with Week 1, I've been following a SquadRun program for a while whilst incorporating a few of my own little researched quirks. After a bit of my own research, I decided to create my own experiment (n=1) using the Zone 2 heart rate training … Continue reading Tarawera Miler Training Diary- Week 2
Tarawera Miler Training Diary- Week 1
Ok ok So it's not really week 1, I'm not going from zero to miler in 80 days (Although that would be a good experiment) but I am having a genuine crack at legit structured training.

Got my keep cup!
Hello enviro lovers! Well I'm feeling quite a little bit impressed with myself. Now when you open my over sized hand bag, not only to lip balm, credit cards and organizers fly out, but so do re-usable shopping bags, a re-usable coffee cup and a water bottle! Everything but the kitchen sink. It's been working … Continue reading Got my keep cup!
Tackling the War on Waste
Don't worry I'm not being slack, I haven't disappeared or given up. In a minor deviation from the Netflix documentaries, I started watching The War on Waste which has become some what of a phenomenon here in Australia over the past couple of weeks. The first installment of the three part series, talked about food … Continue reading Tackling the War on Waste
Sustainable running gear review
So I have been a little MIA lately, but my challenge is still going. The True Cost challenge was a great start for me. I'm sorry I was slack on the sharing end. After my initial running gear audit, I had a look at the rest of my wardrobe and made a substantial donation to … Continue reading Sustainable running gear review
