2017 is hopefully going to be a pretty chilled year in terms of running. A few races a month and a focus on training to improve speed. I really want the sub 25 5k and then maybe work on my 10k and half times too. For people who know me it probably sounds really out […]

1000 Race Miles in 2016 – (Almost) one w
I haven’t written anything in a while. Like blog posts, race reports, anything. I don’t even post on Facebook anymore. Partly because I’ve been struggling to get the words to come out of my head in any type of seniscle (I know that’s not a word but it should be) order and also because I’m […]
1000 race miles in 2016 – #PoweredByPeop
Tuesday’s marathon was tough. It was too hot, my feet hurt (need new trainers) and was really tired. After the 4th of 8th laps I really starting to feel it but I didn’t have a choice but to push through. Just Giving have started a campaign called #poweredbypeople. I keep seeing it all over facebook […]
Running Blind (with my Fairy Godfathers)
There are some amazing people in the world and I’ve met quite a few of them thanks to running. Last year at the Tunnel 10k I got really ill. Running through the tunnel was like running through one of those things that spins around at fun fairs, I had no idea which way was up […]
1000 race miles in 2016 update
By the time I finish Liverpool half on Sunday I’ll have raced 187 miles for MS so far this year. It was meant to be more but I’ve had a couple of bad weeks. I did three races in two days at the end of February (Preston parkrun, Stanley Park 10k and Oulton Park half) […]
1000 race miles in 2016 update – 10% don
So one month down and 104.7 miles. That’s over 10% complete already and I can now say with authority that a 10% the day after a muddy marathon is not any easier than a marathon after 22.4 miles the three days before.The Tour of Merseyside has nothing on either. 🙂 I actually only ran […]

992.5 miles to go – Orlando New Year Run
I decided way back that I wanted to run a race on New Year’s Day if possible. When I came across the Orlando New Year Run by Epic Sports Marketing it looked perfect. There were two races, a 5 mile followed by a 2.5 mile race 45 minutes later. Why do one race when you […]
Dopey training & some new additions to t
21 days to go. So my Dopey training plan remains in the bin. Everyone else seems to have just finished their last Dopey sim and are ready to start tapering but I’ve decided to skip that (plus I have two races on the 2nd January so tapering isn’t really an option). I only did […]
More races added to 2016
It gets a bit scary when 2015 ain’t even over yet and already you have already entered 460.2 miles worth of races for 2016. The Race 1k in 2016 plan is coming together, especially now I just got a wait list spot to do Thunder Run 24 hour as a solo runner, exciting but […]
