Canal run – Saltaire to Leeds

I love canals. Towpaths that pass through grotty old industrial areas are just as appealing to me as the ones that run through open countryside. Boatyards, urban living, old villages, you get to see them all on a canal run. I managed to persuade my friend Kimmy to find out if she loves them as…

Carrotes Râpées

This is one of those delightful dishes that is much, much more than the sum of its parts. At first glance, it’s nothing more than grated carrot with a light dressing. The flavour is subtle and slightly sweet though, with a hint of lemony tang. It’s great as a side dish and also wonderful to…

Spicy Butternut Squash Soup with Paneer Croutons

Is it just me, or does it feel like autumn’s approaching? It’s been beautiful and sunny in London all week, but I’ve been looking at coats online, noticing every crunchy leaf on the floor and most importantly, craving soup, soup, soup. I’m coming up with a plan of action for running in the dark…

Roasted beets & sweet potatoes with couscous

OK, so it’s not the best photo ever but it’s hard to make wrinkled veg look sexy when the only kit available is your phone. One day we will hire Mario Testino (is he still famous?) to take our photos for us. For now, ignore what you see and let your taste buds guide you…

Top Race Day Tips – Eating, Sleeping, Peeing

When you line up at the start line on race day, there are a few things you should know. You’ll read a million tips, of course, but we guarantee that ours are the only ones you really need. In our role as running ambassadors/obsessives, we’ve ran a lot of races over the years and learnt from…

To Pee Or Not To Pee…

We’ve managed to avoid talking about toilets for weeks, which as most runners know isn’t easy. It’s marathon season now though and it’s time to think about our bladders. (Stick with us on this one – you’ll be glad you did!) Runners have a bit of an obsession with pee, it seems. I’ve had lengthy…

Apple and Ginger Crumble

These cute little fruit crumbles are great fun to make. You can probably have a great time making with the kids. If you have any, that is. Parenting advice: kids are for life, not just for crumbles so don’t go having them just to make fruity desserts. These are quick and easy to make, they’re…

Miso delicious…

Oh, how we heart miso here at Veggie Runners. I first gave some miso soup to Bibi when she was a toddler (lovely kid, never was a fussy eater) and it’s always been a staple of our diet. There are many reasons for this. It’s umami which, as I’m sure you know, is the fifth…

Spicy Thai Bean Burgers

Every now and again you find a stray packet of beans, peas or the like in the cupboard. You don’t remember where you bought them, or when, and more often than not can’t imagine what possessed you to pick them up in the first place. Such was the case with the split peas I chanced…

Running Mix – Bearded Lady Motorcycle Club

This running mix was compiled by our great friend and very excellent runner, David. He’s the perfect combination of running nut and music nerd – who better to make brilliant running mixes? We love his mixes and we’re kinda thinking you will too. Keep your eyes peeled and ears open; we’ll be posting another in a…
