I know it might sound silly, but a few years back I totally believed there was no point in running because I wasn’t very good at it anymore. It wasn’t until last year when I realised how stupid this was. Here are my top five things I wish I knew when I started out running again, and things I think can help you hit your stride in the running world.

As a self proclaimed fitness nut, I do struggle to switch off and relax. I’m so active, and my job means that when I’m not training myself, I’m training someone else. This means that I’m so ‘on the go’ sometimes, I just need to STOP and take a breath. Not to mention the fact that the pressures around social media, and the constant need to be ‘up to date’ with the digital era we live in causes me to spend way more time looking down at my phone than I should. Thats why I was so excited to collaborate with Malvern Spa, who invited me to check out their spa and gym facilities. What initially attr ..read more

Fancying a moderate intensity walk, with amazing, no, in-fact incredible views? Then this is the route for you. This route is around 14km long, and depending on the weather could take between 3 and 4.5 hours. The post Exploring the Peak District: LadyBower & Back Tor appeared first on Beth Trueman ..read more

I’ve teamed up with Tilda to collaborate with them on the launch of their new super grain pouches and share with you my favourite way to team the pouches. Following on from my importance of carbohydrates post, I’ve worked with Tilda to created a meal perfect for you guys to have post workout.

One of the biggest things I want to start with is that Carbohydrates are not the enemy. We’ve all seen the fad diets which claim to ‘torch fat’ and give you the abs of your dreams all by completely cutting out carbs. They’re bullsh*t, and demonise carbs unnecessarily. Carbohydrates are actually a key macronutrient, and one that plays many important roles within the body. Carbohydrates not only aid with digestion but help with absorption of nutrients and water, cognitive functioning and also provide us with energy and muscular fuel. In this article, I discuss all of the benefits of carbohydrat ..read more

Something that I’ve really had to perfect these past few years is the art (yes it may as well be an art) of balancing life and fitness. I’m a full time student, who also balances a business, life and also fitness. It’s a tough line up to manage, and it’s most definitely not a breeze. But, it is possible. In this post I talk all about how I balance everything from work, fitness, nutrition and everything in between.

It's time to lace up your walking boots! I’m sure you’ve all seen recently that since Christmas I’ve spent a lot of my time high up in the clouds, covered in mud and strapped up in my walking boots. To be honest, I’ve never minded the rain, I believe that mud never hurt nobody and I’m a complete sucker for an incredible view. Now, I’m not saying that everyone reading this will feel the same. I have plenty of friends who absolutely hate the outdoors and can’t bare to get their toes dirty. Which is also okay. But to the small percentage of you who might enjoy it, this post is for you.

When it comes to the new year, the 1st of January always rolls around and the influx of ‘new year, new me’ resolutions flood social media. If I’m honest, I don’t really know how I feel about resolutions. All I really know is, that the start of the new year is 365 new chances to be awesome. Personally, I like to think as new years resolutions more of ‘goals’. Instead of setting myself resolutions to ‘stick to’ I instead think of things I would like to achieve, improve or do throughout 2018. From there, I formulate something I like to call a ‘2018 plan’. That way, I’m not just saying I want to ..read more
