In The Spotlight

Hello, I’m Charlie – a runner, Registered Dietitian and lover of travel. I believe anyone can run a marathon, I’ve transitioned from non-runner to 13 x Marathoner and Six Star Finisher. My blog champions fad-free, accessible wellbeing through fitness, nutrition and living life to the full.

It’s running that I started blogging about as a student over a decade ago. Since then it’s grown to cover Fashion, fitness, beauty, IVF Journey and my day-to-day life. Since then, having gone on to work with industry giants London Marathon, ECCO, Adidas, Underarmour, the blog has evolved into a career that 18-year-old Charlie could only ever have dreamed of… and a life in the Berkshire with my husband and fur baby that brings me so much joy.

So how do we avoid making our already mangled feet that little bit uglier and keep all ten toenails in tact, and what do we if/when we do lose them
