After pregnancy I felt more tired and less resilient. A recent finger‑prick omega‑3 test showed my levels were lower than I expected. Omega‑3 matters even more during pregnancy and breastfeeding, when maternal stores are drawn down… “Hello, mum‑brain!” So I dug into DHA/EPA, supplements and practical tips for running mums juggling miles, sleep and recovery.

After watching our toddler find his stride in Vivobarefoot shoes, I started wearing them for gym sessions — then short, barefoot‑style runs with Dumbbell on sand and forest trails. What began as a parenting fix turned into a practical way to build foot and calf strength without stealing time from family life. Here’s what worked for us (and the shoes we’re now living in).

Recently I felt my recovery wasn’t optimal. A blood test revealed my omega‑3 status wasn’t as good as I’d expected, so I’m exploring how boosting omega‑3 could restore balance at a cellular level and support recovery as a runner. I’ll retest in four months and share the results.

With a team of four we decided to run around the Monte Rosa Massif, covering a distance of 170km and 11,000m ascent in 6 days.

“Once I have that new house, a loving partner or another job, I’m sure I will be happy.” We all have had moments that we thought external influences could make us happier. These things that exist outside ourselves, and lie outside of our control, might make us feel a bit better in the moment, but are not involved when it comes to true happiness. True happiness only comes from within, whether you look at it from a scientific perspective or more philosophical. When you do not feel happy at the moment, I hope you can find comfort knowing that happiness is within your reach.
