So, unless you’ve been living in a social media black out the last few days (which let’s face it is strong possibility in June 2020) then you’ll know that Care Bears are coming to Irregular Choice. It’s our first proper launch since 2020 started (50 billion years ago) other than the little Sushi collection and […]
This could be the start of something…
I know this blog was originally set up for to document my running adventures but lately I’ve struggled even doing 5k due to my illness. Hopefully after lockdown I’ll be able to push through with races as motivation (I’ve entered Brighton marathon 2021) but until then i need something to stop me going crazy. I’ve […]
Irregular Voice
I’ve been obsessed with Irregular Choice shoes for quite a while. Now that I’m no linger blogging about races (although i do have a billion race reports to write up) I thought it was about time i got started on something that I’ve been planning for a while. Shoe reviews. My very first one is […]
Review: When the Boot Buddy met my Cross...
I never ever buy anything from adverts but I was strolling through Facebook last month and saw an advert for the Boot Buddy. Now, I clean my shoes about just as often as I but things off Facebook but I took part in the muddiest muddy mudfest cross country ever in February and was watching […]
Run it for the people like us
Today, not for the first time, someone who I’ve never met reached out to me via my Just Giving page to say thank you for inspiring them. No ulterior motive, no giving to get something in return, just a genuine act of kindness. It’s easy to forget that such things exist sometimes (one person was […]
“I’m limited. Just look at me. I’m limit
Yesterday was not a good day. After the high of Sunday, having my best race experience ever, it was a bit of a come down. It started of well. Well it started of lazy. I spent most of the morning in bed chilling and writing my blog. Then I went on a little run/walking tour […]
A very big thank you to Chicago
I’ve probably told this story a billion times but here we go again. Great North Run last year made me so ill even before the race started that I had a really really bad experience. It was such a struggle that I thought I’d never be able to run large races again. Then Run Disney […]
I got this
I can tell you exactly when I knew I could run a half marathon. It was New Year’s Eve 2013 and I was running what was, at the time, my longest run. Just shy of 8 miles. Running 13.1 miles in one go had until this point seemed like a serious impossibility even though my […]
Packing for 10 marathons
I’m off to Gravesend tomorrow for the 10in10. I seriously hate packing. I hate packing for 10 marathons even more but i thought it might be interesting to share the what i’m taking.
Almost half way there
Saturday in the start of my first 10in10 (10 marathons in 10 days just in case you were wondering) but it’s also my 75th marathon and the 26th of the 52 marathons in 52 weeks. So when I complete the next 26.2 miles I’ll officially be half way though the challenge. Rather than dealing with […]
