As the winter evenings draw in and the mornings stay dark, finding time for a run during daylight hours can be a difficult job. By the time you find the time to get your running gear on, it’s often dark out there, and the early morning run is no better. +

Staying motivated over the winter is a tall task in itself. There’s nothing better than curling up at home and comfort eating when the weather outside is miserable, but breaking your fitness routine can have detrimental effects. Staying disciplined over the festive period is important; the Christmas parties and social gatherings bring with them added temptations. To counterbalance the added calorie, you’ve got to keep going to the gym. +

With dark mornings and evenings, it’s just too easy to lock the door behind you and not do any form of outdoor activities. As a dog owner, that’s pretty much impossible for me but for the kids, it’s important to wrap up warm this Winter and get outside! +

Well it’s that time of year when we have to bundle the kids up in all of their winter clothing to go out and about. Anyone with kids knows how well kids can complain when they’re cold and you’re making them walk that little bit further because you’ve got a dog to walk, a place to get to, fitness goals to achieve! Therefore when we kit the kids out with winter gear we choose wisely and Mountain Warehouse is the perfect one stop shop for both quality and value for money. +

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. +

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. +

For many of us staying healthy throughout the winter is extremely difficult, the temptation of plentiful winter meals, large amounts of alcohol and the excuses we come up with not to go out in the cold means that we end up eating much more than usual and not burning any of it off. +
