When it comes to diet and fitness, it appears the old fashioned options make people nervous. While I can announce I’m following the latest celebrity diet and get polite interest in response (after all, how can you go wrong following the directions of genetically-freakish neurotic stick insects who have embraced size zero as a concept), every time I mention I have taken up running people tend to respond with shock and admonishments. Never mind that I am following a conservative program, the Couch to 5k , so called because it aims to get you from being a non-exerciser (that’s the couch) to running 5 kilometres comfortably in nine weeks of training. Never mind that I am an unfit cow who could clearly benefit from getting up off her fat ass. Never mind that I can see the results in my fitness, shape and heart rate after a few months.

I’m doing the Couch to 5k, a beginner-friendly plan designed to get you to running 5 kilometers without tears, injuries or requiring illegal steroid injections twice a week from someone called Big Boxing Bob. I can see the results and I’m enjoying it. But people insist on worrying about my knees. Won’t someone please think of my knees? From the stories I have heard, a small but significant proportion of the population has explosives in their patella. Much like the bus in Speed, they’re fine at a walk. But i...
I write for businesses so you don’t have to. Whether that’s websites, funding applications, blogs, case studies, reports or tenders – if you need it written, I can probably help. Don’t know what you need to get the results you want? That's where project managing comes in. I can help you work out that out, and then plan it with you and provide you an ongoing writing service to support your business needs. I offer writing services on a project basis as well as longer strategic solutions, including fractional copywriting. How fast will I do it? Every project is different but if you know your scope, tone, length and keyword/s, you can expect a turn-around of 3 - 5 working days. I can take on rush work, subject to a fee and availability. Need some guidance on what will make your idea shine? I can also work with you to tease out your business needs; it will take a little longer, but it will be worth it! Want to see my business? Head to Red Rock Writing where I work with SMEs who need ...
