Ellie Donnell is a contributing writer for Cycling Weekly and has written for a broad range of titles including Delicious Magazine, Co-op, The Independent and SquareMeal (where she currently holds the role of Managing Editor). While her specialism is in food and drink, Ellie is hugely passionate about fitness and practices a 'hybrid' approach to training covering running, weightlifting and cycling. Her love for cycling has flourished in recent years, causing her to purchase her first carbon road bike, participate in a duathlon and tackle a three-day cycling tour from Reading to Devon – although you’ll often find her doing laps of Richmond Park at the weekend.
