Natalie Hartley Runs....to end London Fashion Week

So just so you all know am I definitely not a fair weather runner it has been pissing it down in London yesterday and have arranged through the Nike fashion week concierge service that a trainer meets me after the shows to train with me. Since New York the London shows have taken over and have not done anything (it's bloody hard to exercise during the shows!) but this was my moment and in the pouring rain we ran to the track in Regents Park. Today my trainer Gil has taught me the art of running today, using the ball of my foot to allow myself to not use too much energy and how to make a kong distance run easier on the body and he has also has taught me that as long as your heart rate stays the same all the way you will cross the finish line gracefully and not fall flat on my face once I cross it! Apparently the best investment is a heart rate monitor and as long as your heart rate stays the same all the way you are doing well. Also interval training ie. running fast for 30 secs and then slowly for 30 secs (repeat 4/5 times) helps your body get used to restoring your heart rate so practise this technique to improve your runs.

New running gear from the Nike team also mean in this shit weather and with it getting dark I won't go missing and will definitely been seen!

London Fashion Week, Day 4

The Highlights

One of my favourite shows today always crazy but when you break it down every piece really is amazing and actually more wearable than it looks here! All you need is one crazy pece to wear with anything you have already and job done, like adding these sunglasses to a grey jumper, perfectly cool

Thomas Tait mixed minimalism sport wear with fluffy textures using citrus or bold block candy colours

Simone Rocha is one of the key players during fashion week in London and this season was no let down gat pearl encrusted accessories but really great shapes of clothes and still got in the floral trend but in her way understated yet in a perfect tomboy/ punk sort of way

The look today was flared hem skirts, mixing black and navy and adding a bright accessory am in love with this bag and still can't believe it's Ostwald Helgason for Aldo Rise in shops soon!
