A Runners Plant-Forward Approach to Cooking

Recently, I went to Waterstones to buy a plant-forward cookbook for work. Instead, that trip inspired a bucket list of ultramarathons to run before I die. Oddly, it brought me full circle. That search for a plant-forward approach not only inspired my ambitions but also reminded me of the way I used to cook, before blogging and running consumed my time....

Spicy Sausage, Fennel, & Rigatoni Pasta

When laziness strikes, I crave the delicious simplicity of pasta. That same laziness gave birth to this sausage, fennel rigatoni recipe. There’s something satisfying about the sweet anise flavour of fennel cutting through the richness of sausages. However, the Nduja brings a unique smoky heat that elevates this dish to a whole new level. Using the Right Sausages Since it’s in the name of this sausage, fennel & rigatoni pasta, you’ll want to use the best sausages that you can afford....

Recently, I went to Waterstones looking for a plant-forward recipe book. Instead, I walked out with Ultra: The World Atlas of Ultramarathons. Naturally, I made a list of 10 ultramarathons I’d love to run before I die. That is, unless one of them kills me first. About the Book: Ultra Written by Jen and Sim Benson, Ultra takes readers on a global trek through the world's greatest ultramarathons....

I brought a book called Ultra so naturally, I made a list of 10 ultramarathons I’d love to run before I die.

The night before the race, Will mocked my DNF back in January and reminded me how he’d run every race faster than me. It was all in jest, but his light-hearted teasing carried a sting of truth. Will knew how to run an ultramarathon. Yet, I highlighted another reality, that at some point, I'll finish before him. How ironic would it be if, after all his boastful mockery, it happened tomorrow? I'd never let him live it down. With the benefit of fortunate hindsight, I’m lucky it wasn’t a competition, but a tale of two friends with two different targets.

Will mocked my previous DNF. It was all in jest, but Will knew more about how to run an ultramarathon than I did.

The inspiration for this Greek-inspired lamb pasta bake came from a Pastitsio recipe. I had everything I needed to cook the traditional dish except for beef mince. I did, however, have a pack of lamb mince, so I substituted one for the other, and thus this deliciously easy pasta bake was born. Pastitsio Inspired This Pasta Bake, but What is it?...

The inspiration for this lamb pasta bake came from Greek Pastitsio. Missing beef, I replaced it with lamb, and this delicious bake was born.

I ran home from work today. It's a journey I've done hundreds of times by bike, but my run commute is fast becoming my new normal.

What makes every run commute feel a little more special, though, is the memory of a time when I couldn’t imagine running 10km.

A few weeks ago, I posted an article titled "My First Half-Marathon Kit List,” as I prepared to race a personal best at my first official half-marathon at Battersea Park. I was brimming with confidence leading up to the race, but despite all my preparations, I broke every race-running rule for this half-marathon. Race-Running Rule #1: An (In)Adequate Warm Up…...

Vitamins are essential nutrients found in foods that we need to consume to stay healthy and perform at our best. They’re vital components for health as they’re involved in everything our bodies do, from immunity to energy production. What are Vitamins? Vitamins are organic compounds, also known as micronutrients, that are essential for maintaining our health. Unfortunately, these vital nutrients cannot be produced in the body, so we must obtain them through our diet....

When we develop menus, protein, usually in the form of meat, typically forms the centrepiece of the meal. Even when planning vegan or vegetarian alternatives, we refer to the main component as “the protein,” even if it lacks that very nutrient. Its importance to menu creation, and our reliance on meat to sustain a diet, probably comes from a natural understanding of the importance of protein to our health....

As the most widely consumed protein source worldwide, and my personal preference, it’s worth taking a closer look at meat.

It's Friday night, and I'm at home, preparing my race kit list for my first half-marathon on Sunday morning. It’s not the first time I’ve run 13.1 miles or 21.2 km, but it’s my first official half-marathon race. I’m not at home, however, and have packed everything I think I'll need to run my target time of under 2 hours....

My post-run chocolate milk tastes great, but it also helps power up your training by fuelling your recovery. Its well-deserved reputation as a miracle post-run drink comes from the combination of glycogen-replenishing sugars and muscle-repairing protein. But I suspect its popularity stems from an indulgent feeling, justified by the post-run macro hit. What is a Chocolate Milkshake? When we think of a chocolate milkshake, we typically envision a cold, sweet, and thick beverage made from chocolate....
