Our favourite part of crafting our Art Runs is developing a story around a place. We were both born in Teesside and have a massive affection for the area and its people, and so were so pleased to hook up with The Middlesbrough Museum of Modern Art (mima) to celebrate their ‘Localism’ exhibition. On the…
Light Night Art Runs 2015 – Photo Blog
On Friday 9th October 2015, we hosted Light Night Art Runs 2015. On Saturday 10th October, we spent most of the day saying ‘Wow’ and grinning. A lot.
Running Back to Myself
It was a holiday, I suppose. But it was also so much more than that. It was a homecoming, and a reunion, a coming of age, coming back to my self. When I was 16, my mum and I moved halfway across the world to Victoria, British Columbia, where we lived for nearly 5 years. I…
Wild Runs with Sweaty Betty at Wilderness Festival
What makes a great festival? It would have to be great people, good food (for body and mind), music, art, literature, sunshine, fun and Wild Runs with us from a Sweaty Betty Zen Den. You won’t get the latter at any old festival though; for that you’ll have to get yourself to Wilderness Festival next…
It’s Never Too Late to Start
It’s not too late to start your journey into fitness. Maybe you didn’t like running at school. Maybe running around in a polo shirt and shin guards made you feel self-conscious, with a mouth full of gum shield and spit. Maybe you didn’t like being shouted at for shuffling your feet when you were passed the ball…
Revisiting the Race for Life
My running journey began in earnest back in the mid-90s. Prior to that, I was a keen swimmer and cyclist who’d dabbled a bit in running but never taken it very seriously. That all changed with a Race for Life 5k, which changed my life as it has for many other people. A friend asked…
Sweaty Betty Roga Brunch
The Roga revolution continues apace. Last weekend we teamed up with Sweaty Betty for a fantastic Roga brunch. We started with a city run, followed it with yoga between the fountains in the stunning Victoria Quarter and then back to the store for food, glorious food. All of our Roga events are carefully themed and…
Hello Roga!
Two fantastic things are happening in Leeds this summer.* One is the start of the Roga Revolution, the other the opening of the exciting new Hello Work co-working space in Leeds Dock. We were lucky enough to combine the two with an energising, packed-to-the-rafters Roga workshop recently. Running is great, we all know that. Yoga…
Lakeland Trails Coniston Marathon Race Report
Last year, I made my running all about PBs and, with some sweat and swearing, I did rather well. Good For Age London Marathon 2016 here I come! All very well, of course, but you can’t keep going faster forever now, can you? Well, maybe some people can but I doubt if I have the…
Video: Pop-Up Running Event – Leeds Girls Can
One thing we Veggie Runners love is a pop-up running event. This one was part of the This Girl Can campaign which, as you probably know, aims to help girls and women get active, whatever their shape, size or age. Which, as you also may know, is something very dear to our hearts. This International Women’s…
Our London Marathon Weekend
There are many great things about writing Veggie Runners but the best of all has to be the people we get to meet. Spending weekends with each other – yay! – in the company of other runners talking about pretty much nothing but running. Our idea of a great time. Yeah, OK, it’s not for everyone…
Vegan Black Bean and Sun Dried Tomato Dip
There’s a song called ‘It May Be Winter Outside (But In My Heart It’s Spring).’ I sing this song around the house. A lot. Bibi says it’s one of the first songs she remembers hearing. I think I like it because it’s zingy and bright and it’s a lovely accentuate-the-positive kind of song. And also…
