  • Badass Mum Katie on how Running Built her Confidence and Calms her Anxiety

    by Beverley Logan

    It has enriched my life so much that it has become part of my identity. And it is also a crucial part of how I manage my mental health and my anxiety – I run for sanity not vanity!

  • Louise Runs 'Race to The King' a 53 Mile Ultra Marathon!

    by Beverley Logan
    At 40 miles I was no longer a runner, I was no longer me, I was just a woman, putting one foot in front of the other, willing herself on through the night.

  • Naomi's Love/Hate Relationship with Running

    by Beverley Logan
    To you, the innocent onlooker, it must look like…wow…this Naomi person must love really running and how determined is she?! She runs loads and always looks so smiley in her running photos. But, if only you knew the truth! I think the people I run with would tell you how much I moan on runs and how hard it is to drag me out for a run at times.

  • Ship Wrecks, Dolphins & Beers..Oh My!

    by Beverley Logan
    Now, I’ve never been one for trendy modern bars with weirdly named pretentious cocktails and food with teeny posh portions, nope! Give me a classic British pub and a cold pint in a quiet corner and I’m a very happy girl, so needless to say this place was right up my street!

  • Badass Mum Kirsty Shares her Incredibly Brave Journey and Talks About How Running Helps her Battle Anxiety, Depression and Bulimia Nervosa

    by Beverley Logan
    A few years went by and I moved to a different job where it became more difficult to keep my bulimia nervosa under control, it was that bad I went down into a dark hole and couldn't snap out of it. I stopped running because of the hours I worked and with the change of jobs I got myself into a workaholic mode and just spent most of my time at work, hardly saw my daughter and I didn't know her bedtime routine at all. She missed me, my partner missed me. Scott was the mother and father most of the time. I worked that much it took its toll on me and I was that bad I ended up going down a really dark road

  • Running During Pregnancy by Laura

    by Beverley Logan
    When I found out I was pregnant, I was in the midst of training for a half marathon. In fact, I had an 11 mile run planned for the following day. On the basis that I wouldn't be doing something my body wasn't used to, I carried on with my training but let go of any time-based goals. The little bit of research I had done said that not getting the heart rate up too high was the aim, so I have tried to stick to that throughout which has meant ditching interval training and anything else speed-related.

  • Victoria of 'Plus The Dog' Shares her Epic Journey into Running.

    by Beverley Logan
    For Christmas, my husband, who is supposed to care about me, and, you know, want the best for me, entered me into a 5K ‘race’ as my Christmas present. I was all at once pleased and really annoyed with him for doing this. I would have been happy with chocolate or something unimaginative but luxurious, but instead I got a race number. This is not luxurious, at least not in any context I know about.

  • From Baby to Marathon PB in 11 Months by Emily

    by Beverley Logan
    I run my first Parkrun almost exactly 3 months since having Ted; a very hilly Parkrun in Lullingstone. I finish feeling exhausted but great to have done it. As I walk over to my husband at the finish I realise my leggings are wet. I’ve basically wet myself. I want to cry

  • Nat's First Ever Relay Race

    by Beverley Logan

    18 teams. SHIT! Pressure was on. Especially when I saw how many running clubs were there. They all looked pretty serious to me. What if all these people run 30min Parkruns? What if these people all run past me and knock my confidence? What if I’m so slow and I let my team down?

    So I was there and there was no turning back. I just needed to do the best I possibly could.
