It is Easter time again and who doesn’t love a good hot cross bun!
However most hot cross buns are loaded with many types of sugars, poor quality vegetable oil, white flour, preservatives and food additives! They are generally highly processed and are no good for your good gut bacteria, blood sugar levels, energy levels and waistline. The majority of the time they are not very filling, so you find yourself reaching for a second one!

It is the season to be outdoors and running in some beautiful fresh air and sunshine! With plenty of trail run events and triathlons coming up over the next few months it is a great time to be doing some running training. Whether you are a seasoned runner, a professional athlete or a complete newbie to running, with the nice weather (fingers crossed) coming our way it is a great time to get outside on to the trails for a run.
