Before Stoke FIT I was running around a mile a time on my own a few times a month. I had no will power to get out and do it and if the weather was slightly bad that was it, no chance I would go out!

A friend and I started to hear about this group who had started running around forest park twice a week, so we decided to give it a go! How hard could it be. Well let me tell you it was really hard and we were only doing around 2 miles with a couple of breaks in between. However Read More…

It’s nice to be nice!

Everyday make somebody feel great about themselves.

Try this today; give out 5 genuine and positive compliments to 5 complete strangers.  It takes nothing extra to be nice, no extra energy, no extra effort and you know what? – being nice is, well, errr, NICE!!

It might feel strange at first, and people may look at you like you’re mad from time to time, but once you get confident in the art of being nice, it will also start to make you feel better about yourself!

You don’t know what the other person is going through and a simple ‘I really like your hair’ or ‘you have a lovely smile’ has the possibility to change people’s view on life!  They might be feeling low, miserable, ugly or even suicidal and a simple few genuine kind words from you could make their day!!

Let’s all go out and be nice!  Happy Wednesday!

For the past 25 years, so-called static or gradual stretching has been considered the right way to stretch. This is a slow, gradual stretch that you hold for 15 to 30 seconds. You can choose Read More…

Cannock Chase Heroes!

Gregg and I are just back from having the pleasure of running 9 miles round Cannock Chase with 10 Stoke F.I.T. heroes in preparation for ‘Hell in the Middle’ in February.

I really really like Stoke F.I.T because it’s more than a running club.  It’s somewhere I can make new friends, have an all round good time, and all  while being lead by 2 of the best people you could ask to be taught by. Read More…

I grew up wishing I could take part, wishing I was good enough, wishing I was fitter and healthier. Over the years I like most people had tried this diet and that diet paid hundreds out in gym memberships and promised myself that this Read More…
