Gold medal winning team at the Euro XC 2015 2015 has been a great year for me and those supporting and coaching me. I started out with becoming British Champion at the London Marathon in April and followed that up with a big PB in Berlin Marathon in September. Then finally finishing the [...]
Chia-mpion pudding Myprotein Organic Chia Seeds have so many health benefits that are essential for endurance athletes who are training hard. They are one of the world’s oldest sources of nutrition, documented to have been eaten by the ancient Aztecs and Mayans as early as 3500BC and even used for medicinal purposes. If [...]
A very a-pea-ling Salmon dish. Dill-icious! As a marathon runner I try to eat at least 3 servings of oily fish every week for both the protein benefits and the fact it's packed full of healthy omega-3 oils, essential for your cardio-vascular health, your joints & also aids digestion. I usually grill my [...]
Source the highest quality MyProtein Whey & ingredients, mix, blitz, enjoy! Over the past few years I've realised the importance of using the best quality protein for recovery and muscle repair. If you're having to do workouts close together it's not always possible to sit down and eat a chicken or a big [...]
Bonfire rice - great for after training on those cold wet nights In the dark cold wet days I like to stay warm with a good lunch. Some of the best meals are made with what is left in the fridge. This recipe was born from half a tin of left over chopped [...]
Pump-in Pumpkin Pesto Pasta - perfect for Halloween I came across Meridian Pumpkin Seed Butter and thought I would try it on my bagel but it just didn’t cut it for me, well not like almond butter does. I was on a mission to find the perfect recipe to appreciate this jar of [...]
Milk alternatives make me smile Fortunately I don’t have intolerance to cows milk I’m just not keen on the taste. I really enjoy a warming drink before bed especially as the nights get darker and colder but I was always disguising the taste of cows milk with chocolate or honey. Since a young [...]
Sonia during the 2015 Berlin marathon My preparation for London had gone perfectly but sometimes we don’t run the race we expect or want. It was great to become British Champion but I had mixed emotions about my performance. I made a list of what went well and things to work on. Berlin [...]
Even on tired days you can't help but be inspired by the beautiful surroundings and tranquil atmosphere out of the trails of the Pyrenees. It's my 6th consecutive summer here training and wouldn't wish to be anywhere else.
I've recently been given the great opportunity to become a Meridian ambassador. I have to confess, I have a bit of an obsession with nut and seed butters and I’m always trying to find a new way of incorporating them into my food but sometimes there is nothing like a spoon of almond butter to [...]
I’m always on the lookout for tasty treats and healthy options. I was recently lucky enough to receive some sample Chi products. Apart from coconut water and milk they also do coconut oil which I have a bit of an addiction to. I use it for cooking but also put it in my porridge and [...]
The crowd were absolutely amazing. Such a great marathon to have been part of.
