It feels strange not training for a challenge this Christmas. In 2012 I ran the 12 Days of Christmas for the Percy Hedley Foundation. In 2013, Lee and I attempted the 12 parkruns of Christmas for the Tiny Lives Trust. In 2014 I’m attempting the 12 Pubs of Christmas for me, haha. +

With less than three weeks until the big fella comes down our chimney, I bet the bike is still on top of most peoples Christmas lists this year. I can remember the feeling as a child getting a new bike, which is why Amy and I have asked Santa for bikes for our kids this year. +

Running wise, 2014 has been a quiet year for me. Since the 12 parkruns of Christmas charity running challenge, my confidence had been understandably low. I needed something to get me back outside and hitting the roads, this ‘something’ came in the way of New Balance and their incredible 880v4. +

Buying a present for you or someone else’s child can be a hard (and often expensive) task these days. Instead of purchasing the latest video game, book they may already have or toy they will never use, appropriate fitness gear for a child can be a great option. It will hopefully get them active while having fun in the process and doesn’t have to cost the earth. +

Skiing is great exercise and also a fantastic activity all the family can get involved in. Most slopes have lessons for kids and areas dedicated to beginners so you can drop them off to learn while you hit the higher heights. Or if they’re more advanced you can all ski together. Either way, to have the most fun and stay safe here are a few important tips. +

Winter can be a hard time for runners. The cold, wet weather makes running outside less appealing, while gyms are full of new members come January. The outside conditions also mean there are fewer races on offer to train for and participate in. However, there are a few around and some abroad that should pique your interest. +

If you’re looking for an active weekend that will be enjoyed by you and your child(ren) but at least one of you is tired of the same old football, tennis and swimming activities, why not try something different? There are thousands of other exciting sports out there. Plenty can be enjoyed by adults and children alike without having to gather another ten people to join in. +

It’s what some women refer to as their little black dress. Unfortunately you aren’t going to see me wearing one, haha. It’s a term used by people who are wanting to either lose weight and/or tone up to fit into their Christmas party dress. +
