Hello healthy people,

Coco with snowdropsMarch is the time of spring bulbs, my birthday (we’re off to Malaga a short break in the sunshine later this week) and ramping up the fitness for summer events.If you’d like a training programme for a race or event, let me know. We can do a one-off PT session to really focus on your event goal and you’ll receive a personalised programme emailed to you, taking in mind your time and lifestyle constraints. Yes, even busy people can train for a marathon, but the trick is to be smart with it and spend some time on strength…

 

Easy Healthy Recipe: Mediterranean Pate

Can butter beans, drained
½ lemon, juiced
4 – 8 sundried tomatoes from a jar
1 Tbsp olive oil, or use the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes
Handful of fresh basil
Clove garlic- Zizz in a blender. Adjust texture by adding a drizzle of water.
– Enjoy on oatcakes. Delicious.

Recommended Reading: ‘Night School’ by Richard Wiseman

Afternoon naps are amazing if you have a long and physically demanding day, and I’m happy that this is now becoming common knowledge. This fascinating book by social psychologist Wiseman is a must-read for anyone struggling to get their optimal zzzz’s. Did you know that a lack of sleep can make you crave junk food and also pile on the pounds around your tummy? Now get some sleep.
