As for ‘rest days’ there is no set amount that is right or wrong but unfortunately most people aren’t resting enough.
Here are a few signs that you need to rest and sleep more…
Within minutes of crossing the finish line of my first ever marathon, I said to my husband, ‘I’m never doing that again!’ and in that moment, I truly thought that London 2017 would be my first and last marathon. One year later and I am about to embark upon my twenty week training program, to […]

I’m so excited to see the campaign this week in stores and online. Yesterday, I woke up […]
You know that feeling, when you’ve been on an air conditioned plane for eleven hours, and your face feel like a dried fruit! If you’ve landed somewhere hot, you’ll need to use sun cream and then you get a breakout, just in time for your first holiday selfie!
