Female runners might start to feel the effects of perimenopause a bit earlier than their sedentary counterparts, here's how to get through it:

Perimenopause can make training feel like a rollercoaster: one day you feel great, the next you feel exhausted. Sleep is disrupted, recovery feels randomised…

I'm good at running, and coaching, but terrible at selling myself. Can you help me? I have a foundational running plan that guides novice runners through the noise with a science-backed, experience-tested plan. But it barely sells. What am I doing wrong? 😭 https://t.co/h59bZkaOjQ

Whilst you should drink to thirst, it's useful to know how much fluid you need to take with you on long runs. You can use my calculator in different conditions to find out your individual fluid loss:

From pace calculators to post-run nutrition calculators. All the calculators I built for myself!

Tapering is science-backed art: get to the race as fresh as possible without losing fitness. Science says: decrease volume 41-60% over 8-14 days, maintain intensity & consistency. Yet I still see people advising starting 3 weeks out or dropping intensity

The perfect taper does exist… but you have to find what works for you.

Really clever people with high expertise don’t always sound confident because they know enough to know what they don’t know. Moderately clever people with minimal expertise can sound more convincing to people who don’t know the subject matter. Social media has elevated the latter

If we want a kinder, more liberal society we have to convince far righters that they are safe. MRI scans show larger amygdalas in far right voters so laughing at them, arguing or fighting will never work. They are hard wired for fear and anger. We bring them back with kindness.

When you lose your mojo... get out there and find it. Recently I've had very little motivation to run or train. I have the habit in place but no enjoyment or confidence, with one niggle after another. But I wasn't going to find it sat at home either... 1/3

Climate change is real, it’s desperate and it’s almost too late to act. Whilst these events have always happened, the scale, frequency and unpredictability is increasing. We have to act.
