helping women find a balance between

WORK – LIFE – FITNESS – FOOD – FUN

“Mollie is an amazing, positive motivator, just what you need when you are trying to become more active.”

“She has a perfect blend of encouragement, counseling, and a no-BS allowed attitude that makes her super effective.”

Took my new Salomon Aero Blaze 3 GRVL GORE-TEX straight out of the box for a Sunday long run (without breaking them in). On my half marathon training plan was 9 miles.  This got broken into 8km with my local run club and 6km solo. After ~4km on my own I felt a little Achilles niggle 😬 so walked the last 2km — lesson learned: ease into new shoes with a shorter distance (I have a history of Achilles issues so I really should know better).
 
What I loved:
• Cushioned & springy energFOAM² midsole = soft landings 🏃‍♂️
• GORE-TEX waterproof & breathable membrane kept feet comfy even on mixed terrain 🌧️
• Versatile grip — felt confident on pavement, gravel, dirt & mulch 🪵
• Secure, snug fit that handled every surface with composure 👟 (I have narrow feet this this was great)
 
What I’d change:
• The colour 😅 — white trail shoes? Who thought that was a good idea? Watch to the end to see how they looked when I finished.
 
Verdict: great all-terrain everyday shoe — just need to build into them more gently next time.  These will be really handy when traveling to reduce the number of running shoes I need to pack as they do great on road and trail.
 
Big thanks to @salomon and @thespikegirls for the #gifted product.  All opinions are honest and my own.

First ski post of 2026 ⛷️❄️ and we’re kicking it off at Killington, Vermont USA.
 
I just published my full Killington review on the blog—trail breakdowns, vibes, and whether it’s worth the hype. If you’re planning a trip or just dreaming of snow, go give it a read (link in bio).
 
And we’re only getting started… 
 
🇮🇹 Headed to Pila in the Aosta Valley, Italy at the end of January, so more ski content is coming very soon. @valledaosta
 
Hopefully, I can squeeze in one more skip trip at the end of March. Any suggestions on where I should go?

My training load has increased over the last week, which meant little brainpower for content creation.  Here is what I have been up to:

Saturday 10 January: Ran 5 miles and got my hair done
Sunday 11 January: Taught a 45 Min spin class then lifted weights for 30 minutes
Monday 12 January: Taught a 45 Min spin class
Tuesday 13 January: Taught two 45 Min spin classes (and then realised I was too tired to work my weekend shift)
Wednesday 14 January: Taught 45 Min morning spin class 
Thursday and Friday: rest and questioning life choices 
Saturday 17 January: Nearly 9 miles which started off with a muddy parkrun
Sunday 18 January: Taught 45 Min spin class

The Cambridge Half is on 8 March so the mileage is starting to add up.  While I have been fitting in a few physiotherapy exercises for my Achilles, I do need to work in two weights sessions per week.  This week I got one in and I will pencil in this week's sessions now.

New to fitness? Let’s keep it simple 👣💪
 
If your New Year’s goal is to get fitter, healthier, or lose weight — start with SMART goals:
 
✔ Specific – Aim for 2–3 workouts a week, not “train every day”
✔ Measurable – Track habits like movement, energy, or consistency
✔ Achievable – Start small so it fits your real life
✔ Relevant – Focus on feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident
✔ Time-bound – Set short-term goals (weekly or monthly) to stay motivated
 
✨ Beginner tip: You don’t need to be perfect to make progress. Small, consistent steps add up.
⚖️ Don’t just chase the scale — celebrate better energy, better mood, and better habits.
 
If you’re not sure where to start, I’m here to help.
 
📲 I offer online personal training and health coaching sessions to support you every step of the way.
