Run. Eat. Repeat.

I'm Sophie, a 22 year old Londoner currently studying in Manchester. I have just got back from a year living in France where my love for food has been joined by a new-found lust for running.
Mmmm post-workout snack: water, banana milkshake (using a real banana), wholewheat pitta and houmous.  It was intervals day on the treadmill. Warmed up with 800m at speed setting 8 then 400m at 10, back to 7.5 for 400m, 400m at 10 and 800m at 7.5. One-and-three-quarter miles in 23 minutes and some seconds. Then I did my Strength Workout B which was 1x10 reps of the following: one leg squats dumbbell lunges russian deadlift using dumbbells bicep curls press-ups (on knees) dumbbell bench press Superman (!) Medicine ball twists It might be wishful thinking given that I’ve only done it twice but I think I can feel a difference already! SO TIRED now after 6 hours sleep and a day in the library.
