So, you’re on the fence about whether or not the KimFit 6-week strength and conditioning course for runners is for you. Read on and I will hopefully answer any questions you may be asking. I’ve only been running for a few weeks; will the course be too advanced for me? Absolutely not! S+C for runners is suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced runners. The training we will do every week can be made easier or harder depending…

I should have written this post an hour ago… because I proper had what I am going to describe as ‘to do anxiety’. I just Googled the term (that I made up) and no results for what I have in my mind. Wow, maybe I should coin the phrase. So what (IMO) is ‘to do anxiety’. To me, it is the feeling of never ever nearing the end of the to do list. I actually have several to do lists;…

Last summer I watched a documentary on clean eating – these were my thoughts on it! A couple weeks back I watched the lovely Grace Victory’s BBC 3 documentary, Clean Eating’s Dirty Secrets. You can watch it here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p040430l/clean-eatings-dirty-secrets?suggid=p040430l. (sorry it is no longer available) It was a very worthwhile documentary and I thought it was excellent. Basically, it exposed certain blogger/vloggers for irresponsible posting and generally tried to open people’s eyes to the fact that what you read on…

Throwing back to that time I just couldn’t be arsed (cba) to train. The motivation was not there. Yesterday (Saturday) I categorically did NOT want to do my gym session (that I should have done Friday). It took me until 6:30 pm in the evening to get my ass to the gym. I had loads of excuses… Pure Gym doesn’t have what I need for my session, I’ll do it tomorrow because I won’t be able to sprint, I need to…

Do you find it hard to switch off? Constantly thinking about your to-do list? Always striving to do that bit more? Guilty. I do. My head is constantly buzzing. Constantly. What do I need to do to be ready for training tomorrow? What posts do I need to schedule for KimFit? When can I work on my sponsor proposal? How am I going to get clients for KimFit? How am I going to afford  a, b, c? The problem here…

Poor cinderella represents the hundreds (thousands probably) of girls that believe there is a quick fix to getting the body they want. IT MAKES ME SO MAD. Honestly, people ask me all the time what is my secret? Train, six days a week for…
