I love this brand. I first saw it at the Liverpool RnR expo and wanted everything but with tops starting from £50 it’s a little out of my price range. I’ve been obsessed with running dresses for quite a while now and there’s a Lornah one that I always keep coming back to. It’s […]
Bib swapping – The real impact
I checked five races today. I found 6 men in womens category top three. It seems that every running group I’m in on facebook has posts asking for race bibs. I removed myself from a lot of them because I struggle not to speak my mind, I disagree with it quite strongly and there’s a […]
Running in fashion – New Parkrun range
Update 05/02/2016 14:53: All 500 shirts have sold out. More will be available soon so keep an eye on Parkrun’s facebook page. Seems like I can’t get away from running clothes today (even though I’m meant to be reviewing medal frames). Just as I finish typing about the new DP Active range I found […]

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 […]
A phone call
There are some people who think that if you can run a race and write a blog then you can also get a job. It’s pretty rude and a bit ignorant really but I try to make allowances, they don’t understand and I’m thankfully that they have never have had to go any type of […]

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 […]
Hunting Hitler investigators don’t know
Not running related but I just found a major error with the History Channel show Hunting Hitler. The show has spanned eight episodes, trying to find evidence that Hitler didn’t kill himself in the bunker like we were led to believe. I thought this show had hope at first but I have just proven one […]
More evidence that runDisney races are g...
So, runDisney have just released the corrals for Star Wars half marathon on 17th January. I’m not going (i’ll be back home running a crazy jet-lagged Helsby half) but it’s pretty hard not to notice something odd even with a quick glance of the corrals. Over two thirds, 66%, of runners have a finish time […]
