Your right to know; your responsibility to ask

from 30th April 2013 by .

I had a jolly old time at my ‘new’ local butcher yesterday. He knew about Paleo (his niece has a restaurant in Cairns); he understood why even though I wasn’t allergic to gluten I didn’t eat the stuff and he gave me a tip off on the best green grocer in the area. By the […]

Getting through a “fat day”

from 29th April 2013 by .

I’m yet to meet a woman that hasn’t had a ‘fat day’ in her life. The day I do meet one, I’ll be sure to tell her just how lucky she is. Equally I know guys who are plagued with guilt after a big weekend and convinced all of a sudden their back squat PR […]

This week I…

from 28th April 2013 by .

Ate. And ate. And ate. Regular readers of this blog will know the weekly round up post usually covers food, literature and education. This week is a little exception. After a marathon food is so, so important to support repair and recovery. I’ve been known after previous marathons to put everything I stand for to […]

One week on from the London Marathon

from 28th April 2013 by .

Editor’s note: The first marathon is always a memorable one and as such I asked my sister, Sarah if she’d like to write something for Let Her Eat Clean. A beautiful piece I’m only too happy to share here. Enjoy, Kleenex at the ready… *

Let food be thy…repair

from 25th April 2013 by .

Admittedly not quite how the Hippocrates saying goes but food is certainly a way to help our bodies repair. I’m more or less now fully back up and running after Sunday’s marathon and it’s probably the quickest I’ve got on my feet following a 26.2 mile effort. I promised I was going to tap into […]

“The middle link in the food chain: cooking”

from 24th April 2013 by .

At the weekend, this article got me thinking about my love of cooking and how without perhaps having realised it, I’m dead lucky to not only be more than confident finding my way around any kitchen but enjoy preparing every single meal I put on the table. I’m no master chef but no one ever […]

Butter is awesome

from 23rd April 2013 by .

I love butter. I scramble my eggs in it, I pan fry my veggies in it, I baste my chicken with it. I reckon in our household of two we get through easily a block a week. A heart attack waiting to happen? Far from it. My cholesterol levels were declared the envy of my […]

The London Marathon 2013

from 22nd April 2013 by .

I’m sat in the biggest bed in the world, currently finding any excuse not to crack on with the recovery session I have promised myself I will complete at some point this morning. So, instead I’ll tell you all about yesterday’s marathon. If you haven’t got time to read on, this pic tells you all […]

How to recover after a marathon

from 20th April 2013 by .

Regular readers of this blog will be hard pressed not to have noticed I’m running the London Marathon on Sunday. I’ve been thinking a lot about race day and in particular, life after race day. I remembered I wrote this post for My Momentum’s blog last year and could do with reminding myself of some of […]

The London Marathon one year on

from 19th April 2013 by .

I remember being handed this t-shirt. It felt so good. I decided, for old times’ sake to pull it on this morning and check the legs were still working ahead of Sunday.
