Do you have "cheat days"? Cheat days (and cheat meals) are incredibly popular. The idea behind them, if you're not familiar, is to eat healthy most of the time, say, 6 days a week, and avoid "treats" - like chips, fast food, desserts, alcohol, soda, or any number of "bad" foods. Then you allow yourself to have all the foods that you crave one day a week.

Hey runner... Have you heard the term plant-based before? It is kind of trendy right now, and you might be wondering a bit about what it means and whether eating a plant-based diet is right for you.

If you're like many runners out there, you might find it hard to take a rest day. I know I've struggled with this a lot, and sometimes still do.

One thing that some runners find hard to accept is that they're often more hungry on their rest days than they are on their active days! Trust me, this is completely normal... nothing has gone wrong!

As a runner, you're constantly looking for improvements. Looking towards the best shoes, the best compression gear, maximising your nutrition, sleep & recovery. For some, this pursuit can lead them to working with a running coach. Someone who can develop a plan, get the most out of their training, see things from a calm & balanced point of view, and guide them towards the success they're after. But it can be difficult to decide which direction to go in. Which coach do you go with? Do I want to be a part of that team or another one? Whats different about them?
