This is my third season of training for Brighton Marathon with RunBrighton, and until today I’ve always missed this route due to racing half marathons instead. But not today!
The famous train ride to Goring and run back route is a favourite for the RunBrighton Ambassadors and runners.
Due to the logistics of managing training runs with different pace groups based on time on feet rather than miles, most of our long runs are out and backs – that way we all turn at the same time, no matter how fast we’re running. Everyone gets back to the cafe/pub for breakfast together, and everyone’s happy.
My 4hrs30 pace group ran nearly 17miles today, and I’m not gonna lie… my legs are SCREAMING.

Here’s a question you probably haven’t heard from your trainer – and it might be one of the many reasons your workout plan doesn’t deliver what you need.
How many pillows do you have on your bed?
No, this isn’t a joke. It’s part of an assessment created by world-renowned fitness coach Dan John.
“If the answer is more than one, you’re a mobility client,” says John. In other words, unless you improve how you move, then you’re doomed to have limited results or multiple injuries, as well as unnecessary aches and pains.
“You might think those extra pillows are just for looks, but if you wake up sore or your hips and back hurt when you don’t sleep with a pillow between your thighs, mobility is another big need.”
Welcome to the world of personalization, where a workout plan isn’t just a series of good exercises – it’s a prescription for your body based on your needs. Before anyone should hands you a workout plan (or you select one online), you need to understand what your body needs.

“The greatest gift you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.” ~Brian Tracy
Two months ago I travelled back home to Connecticut to care for a sick parent. My dad was preparing for cancer treatment, trying to figure out the medical system, and packing up to move all at the same time. He was overwhelmed with stress and exhausted from his pain medication. As a caring and health-conscious daughter, I was eager to help.
I had visions of cooking him meals of steamed greens and healthy soups. And I stocked my suitcase with supplements that would ease the pain and help his body detoxify. Growing up, I suffered from an autoimmune disorder called Celiac disease, which made any food with gluten in it toxic to me, so I deeply understood the link between what we consume and how the body functions.
It excited me to be able to pass this knowledge on to my dad. We always had a close bond, and in times of illness it’s easy to feel helpless. I figured this could be my contribution.
I was afraid to see my dad ill. I’d been living in Arizona for the past two years so I didn’t have to see the change in his appearance. The butterflies in my stomach expanded as I drove to his house the first time. Thinking of him being unable to move freely, work, a…

When you’re dealing with heartbreak, it can feel like the pain will never go away.
You may know, intellectually, that everything heals with time, but in that moment, when you’re suffering, it’s hard to hold onto hope.
Like all humans, I’ve experienced my fair share of loss, and I’ve felt scared, depressed, alone, betrayed, rejected, regretful, and angry—with other people, with myself, and with the world.
Losing someone or something that has become a part of your identity can feel like losing a limb, and how do you go on when you’ve lost a part of yourself?
I’ve learned that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to that question. There’s no magic solution that helps us grow, let go, and move on. There are, however, lots of things we can do to help ourselves when struggling with the many nuanced emotions that come up when we’re grieving a painful loss.
Tiny Buddha contributor Lodro Rinzler has tackled these varied challenges in his new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1611803543/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=t…

- If my family and I are moving into a fully furnished house for the next year, should we sell everything or should we place it in storage?

I’ve been wanting to write this post for a long time, and hearing about/meeting more and more people who are trying Whole30 finally gave me the motivation I needed to put this into words.
I’m just going to say it: I don’t recommend Whole30. Here’s why.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Whole30 is a 30 day diet program during which participants are instructed to completely avoid sugar, alcohol, dairy, grains, and legumes. It’s very similar to paleo. I get that some people use Whole30 as a way to uncover food intolerances, and that’s not what I’m talking about in today’s post – this is geared towards those who are looking at Whole30 as a diet/weight loss tool.
Is Whole30 healthy? Absolutely. I don’t think eating that way will leave you with any nutritional deficiencies, nor do I believe that humans have to eat dairy or grains to be healthy. I actually love and frequently make/consume a lot of “Whole30 approved” and/o…

Last week we talked about food to add to our diet to improve inflammation and pain. This week we are focused on the foods to avoid or eliminate completely to decrease pain and inflammtion.
Foods to Avoid
Processed foods: Processed food amps up your body’s pain system by inducing inflammation. The typical Western-style diet is heavy on foods that promote inflammation, including highly processed foods, rancid oils, trans-fats and refined carbs. Focus on avoiding foods that come in a package and try to eat foods that are as close to their natural state as possible.
Omega- 6 fatty acids: Omega 6’s are an essential fatty acid our body needs but cannot make on its own. Ideally, Omega 6’s and Omega-3’s would be consumed in a perfect 1 to 1 balance. Unfortunately, most Americans consuming the Standard American Diet (SAD) eat a ratio of 25-1, Omega 6’s to Omega-3’s. Research shows that a diet high in omega 6 compared to omega 3 leads to chronic inflammation. Omega-6 acids are found in vegetable and corn oils, processed foods and animal fats.
Nightshades: Nightshade vegetables like peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant may trigger arthritis and pain conditions in some people.

The weight room is filled with bastardized equipment — but it’s time for the shunned machines and exercises to make a comeback. Like an Exacto knife tossed in the garbage because it couldn’t cut down a tree as well as a chainsaw, weight machines like the leg press and pec dec have been hammered by the media for their inability to do things they were never designed to do in the first place.
“They’re not as good as deadlifts or presses,” the articles say. But those stories fail to consider the question: Good at what?
Look, no great strength coach will argue the fact that the big, compound, multi-joint lifts are the foundation of any complete strength-building program. Deadlifts, squats and military presses are the undisputed k…
