URGENT action could be on the cards for some consumers, should they have bought selected items from Co-op, ASDA, Waitrose and Boots. That’s because some foods are being recalled, due to an ingredient not being named on the label posing as a potential health risk.
Here’s the latest Q&A from the @RunEatRepeat Instagram stories. We’re talking about running while sick, blogging or podcasting as a full time job, running the Boston marathon, rest days and tapering for a half marathon. I answered all the questions in video but here’s some extra information.

What kind of exercises if any do you do when you’ve got a head cold, chest congestion, headaches…
Remember the phrase, “If it’s in your chest… you must rest.”
So I avoid running with chest congestion. But I wasn’t clear if you were asking about those symptoms individually or all at the same time?
If I have a cold or headache I’d consider a nice walk, short run, strength training or yoga at home. All that depends on how bad any symptoms I have are making me feel. Above all else – listen to your body. Respect it’s need for rest, fuel, movement, love…
I always suggest that you go to your doctor if you are sick, have an injury or are unsure about any health issue no matter how big or small.

Is RER your full time job?
Yes, this lil website and the RER social media accounts have grown into a full time job for me. I started Run Eat Repeat to document training for my 1st and only marathon and diet struggles. I was having a really hard time losing weight, with my body image, training for a full marathon… and I really connected with people on other fitness and food websites.
I wanted to start my own site so I’d like a professional name / handle to use when I commented on other people’s feeds and blogs.
So I thought up the name Run Eat Repeat… looked it up to see if it was available and opened up a WordPress account to use to build up a blog for free…. RER was created! (Okay the whole process of starting a website or blog is a little bit more involved… but I promise it’s easy. It just takes some steps to get it going.)
I did that about 10 years ago and it was meant to be a little hobby and way to make friends online. I never expected it to turn into a real website with a big following or big social media accounts! But I was having fun and documenting my running and eating and eventually it grew and grew until I realized I could get some compensation for all this work.
Have you ever run Boston or the Houston marathon?
Yes I’ve run the Boston Marathon! I haven’t run the Houston Marathon… yet. I’ve heard it’s a great race and fast!!
I ran the Boston Marathon with the Hyland’s Powered All Women’s Team in 2017. The company is a big sponsor of the Boston Marathon and each year they put a team together to celebrate runners and a legendary race.
The year they asked me they were celebrating women because it was the 50th anniversary of the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon. It was a huge honor!!
And speaking of a big honor… this year I’m hosting the show documenting the team’s training journey!! Follow Hyland’s Powered so you can watch the runners rack up 10,000 all together!!
(Note: Most runners need to qualify for the race based on a time qualification. I haven’t run fast enough for that… yet!)

How many days do you run in a row before you take a rest day from running?
I usually run about 3 or 4 days in a row before taking a rest day.
Tapering advice for a beginning half marathon runner? Is it necessary?
I think it’s necessary. If it’s your first half marathon I think sticking with whatever taper the training plan you’re using suggests is the best idea. Tapering for a half marathon or other long distance is often directly correlated with the length and intensity of the training plan. So going off plan for taper is like going off plan for another important aspect of training (which runners are less likely to do).
You want to show up for the race feeling energized and excited! Tapering can help you rest up and be ready to really rock 13.1 miles. But tapering looks different for different runners / plans. Do what’s best for you, your body and your goals.

I’m trying the NEW Foster Farms Bold Bites snacks! These are a new food find and I just so happened to have spotted themin the deli meat section of my local grocery store a few weeks ago. I’m a sucker for anything new and snacky so I bought 2 packs.
Then it just so happened I was contacted to work with them for this post and got to try all 5 varieties. Done and done! Have you spotted these at your store yet?
Lately I’ve been craving savory snacks over my old sugary faves. What?! When you listen to your body it can surprise ya!
I’m a big fan of intuitive eating – the concept of listening to your body and it’s hunger, fullness and nutrition needs. I think the term ‘listen to your body’ simplifies it too much because it’s more than that.
Yes it includes being mindful of your hunger levels and fullness cues. But also – what is your body craving and why is it craving that? Then, how did that snack or meal make you feel?
And one of the things I’ve noticed is some snacks are more satisfying, keep me full longer and prevent me from thinking about food and my next snack! Most of the time snacks that work best for me are filled with protein or healthy fats.
I feel more satisfied after grabbing something with a good amount of protein.
So I’m loving these Foster Farms BOLD Bites. They’re an easy a grab & go snack! I tried all 5 kinds and… yep, I dig all of ’em!
(And no – I’m not sharing with the doggos!!)
The Foster Farms Bold Bites come in 5 different varieties. I tried them all and wanted to make a list of my favorites from best to least… but I really liked them all.
I think the flavor you grab really just depends on what you’re craving.
You can get more information on the Foster Farms Bold Bites here.
Me: These chicken bites! I’m also digging avocado and crunchy sweet peppers!

Easy Strawberries & Chocolate Chia Pudding Recipe made with Real California milk and layered with strawberries for a delicious and nutritious treat. No cooking required! And this recipe only calls for a handful of ingredients.
I originally read Born to Run a little after it first came out way back in 2012. But, I bought it on Audible last week to listen to while running. It had been so long since I read the book that it was like a new story! I’ll talk about the book another day but I mention it because that’s where I first heard about chia seeds.
The book is about a tribe of super runners and one of their staple foods is a drink made with chia seeds. The author credits the seeds with giving them a ton of nutrition on the go.
And if you’ve been following RER for a while, you know that another runner super food I love is… chocolate milk! California dairy is a healthy source of protein and the combination of protein and carbs in chocolate milk is great for a post-workout recovery snack. Plus, it’s delicious.
So, I figured – if I put together chocolate milk and chia seeds… it’ll combine to make a super snack that will help fuel you for running and taste like dessert.
It really is good and it’s so easy to make! Try it out and let me know if you feel like you can keep up with the super runners in the book after eating it. Make sure to look for the Real California Milk seal when at the grocery store so you know you’re getting quality, sustainable ingredients made by real people.
Ingredients:
2 cupsChocolate Milk
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings:
1 cup sliced strawberries
optional: whipped cream and chocolate chips
Directions:
Combine chocolate milk, chia seeds and vanilla extract (if using).
Mix well, cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours OR overnight.
The mixture will set and thicken. When you’re ready to serve – stir and layer chia pudding and strawberries.
Top with whipped cream and chocolate chips.
Enjoy!
