Listen To Your Body: Sleeping

This is the first post in our series Listen To Your Body. It’s about sleeping and how we can learn to do it well. Do you make a puzzled face at that, thinking ‘well, surely you’re either sleeping or you’re not’? That’s only partly true. Yes, your body will gain some benefits from getting your head on…

Running Mix – The Bruce Lee Running Club Mix

Here’s a new running mix that has been designed with a bpm that matches your cadence when running. About two years ago I first heard this kind of running mix from AudioFuel and found running to the beat a great motivator. Trouble is you can quite easily get addicted to it and end up listening to the…

Savoury Breakfast Muffins – Two Recipes in One!

So, you need breakfast in a hurry. You don’t fancy cereal or porridge and you’re not quite in the mood for toast. Oh, noooooooo, whaddya gonna do?! ‘s ok, we’re here to save the day. Our marvellous breakfast muffins are that rare breakfast treat that you can make the night before. I took a basic…

Mushroom and Sweet Potato Frittata

It being Better Breakfast Week in the UK, and maybe elsewhere in the world too, the best meal of the day has been on our minds a great deal. In truth, breakfast is on our minds a lot. We never go to bed without making sure that we have something good ready for breakfast in…

Vegan Strawberry, Tahini and Mint Smoothie

We Veggie Runners are decent people. At least, we think we’re relatively OK; nobody ever tells us otherwise, but maybe that’s because we’re so not OK that they daren’t… Anyway, for the purposes of this post let’s just assume that we are relatively nice. So, relatively nice people like us care about the environment and try to…

Scrambled Eggs with Basil and Black Pepper

Some dishes are much, much more than the sum of their parts and this is one of them. It seems simple enough – eggs on toast for breakfast, how tasty could you possibly make it without spending hours prepping and cooking? Well, this tasty, actually! This takes as long as making ordinary scrambled eggs – i.e….

Kalofagas – Greek Stuffed Vegetables

This recipe was given to us by Helen, who tells you who she is below. It’s a good source of carbs, dietary fibre and Vitamins A, B and C, along with a host of valuable minerals. Don’t let’s get too earnest though – it’s also a wonderful treat for the tastebuds. It’s vegetarian but we’ve…

Chocolate and Stout Cake

I love talking about food, as you may have noticed. Tell me about a great new avocado salad dressing you’ve tried, or the way that a squeeze of lemon brought your cassoulet to life. Drone on for hours about the best harrisa paste or the lack of ancho chilis in British supermarkets. Lay it on…

Hummus and Harissa

Ah, hummus – so easy to make, soooooo easy to get wrong. When it’s good, it’s fantastic. When it’s not, it can be bland, stodgy, sloppy, too garlicky, not garlicky enough… This recipe is foolproof, mainly because we tested about 50 different versions to get it right. It’s quick and easy and about 100x better…

Running Mix – Mercury Venus Disco Mars

Not long ago we posted a running mix compiled (nay, created, in godlike fashion) by our friend David. He’s an uber-music nerd – he would not balk at that description – and a long-time runner so he really knows his playlist stuff. As you are such very excellent runners yourselves, he has graciously provided another. This…
