It’s very easy to get in the mindset that you’re the only person struggling with weight and training. You become bogged down with calories, heart rates, mileage and arranging everything around family life and work commitments. But the truth of the matter is, I’m not the only person doing this – there’s people all round [...]

A week ago was the Tyneside Vagabonds Awards dinner. Essentially, it is what it says – a dinner, with awards. It was my first Vags Awards Dinner, and I was looking forward to not only getting out of the house but also letting my hair down (as much as someone with a shaved head can). [...]
