I’ve taken a week away from blogging this week. I’ve been really busy at work and the beginning of silly season means that a lot of free time has been spent on getting into the festive spirit. However, I’ve managed to fit in a few workouts, not to mention the Lululemon Yoga Rave which had… Read More A Week in my Trainers
The cold snap has finally arrived in London and it is suddenly freezing. If anyone is struggling to find the motivation to train in these colder months then a while ago I wrote all about it here. Don’t forget to use my code POLLYWARRACK at MindfulChef.com if you want delicious, quick and healthy meals next… Read More A Week in my Trainers
Last Monday I received a very exciting parcel from the friendly people at Mindful Chef. They are a new British company who believe that what you eat is really important, but can be difficult to get right, especially with the time pressures of a busy lifestyle.

Running your commute can be a really useful way of getting some miles in if you’re training for a race, or just as a way of either setting yourself up for the day or winding down from work.

I’m currently taking part in the Fitter Cleaner Leaner Challenge by the amazing Tanya N. This is a structured, informative and supported challenge to help get rid of extra body fat, and surrounded by unhealthy treats at work I thought it is something that I would benefit from. I don’t necessarily want to lose weight,… Read More My Fitter Cleaner Leaner Challenge

Since it’s now the run up to Christmas I am feeling increasingly busy at work, not to mention tired by the weather and tempted by the treats of Christmas and silly season. Since I’m not properly in training for VMLM 2016 yet and I… Read More A Week in My Trainers
#NeverStopLondon is a very appropriate hash tag for the new training series available from The North Face.

This year I started my Halloween with a BANG – or a boom to be more precise. Alongside a few other lucky bloggers I was invited to join the lovely ladies of Bella Kinesis for a Halloween themed Boom Cycle and brunch experience. Naomi from Boom Cycle put us seriously through our paces through one of the most… Read More Bella Kinesis BOO(m) & Brunch
I’ve been easing running back into my training this week, which feels great. However, I’ve also been incredibly busy and I’ve found myself working early or late or both, and wanting to spend my free time with friends or just relaxing. So, that’s what I’ve done, with no guilt. I’ve really made an effort to… Read More A Week in my Trainers
There has been a lot of attention paid recently to the fakeness of social media posts, particularly when it comes to portrayals of health. This re-entered the digital conversation this week with Essena O’Neill’s decision to leave social media. This is because she believes that the world of social media is fake, and pursuing ideals… Read More What Social Media means to me
