The one where I ran a marathon

What a couple of weeks for marathons. It’s taken me ages to get this post out – there are too many things to say and too many feelings to try and assimilate and condense them all. The support I got...

Run Boy Run

For the Brighton marathon yesterday I asked everyone I knew for song suggestions to fill up my playlist and help me carry my friends around the course. I asked my Dad, who despite being in his...

A Real Runner

You know what really gets my goat? The idea of ‘real’ or ‘proper’ runners. I love running (clearly) and on the whole I love other runners – I love chatting about race stories, training techniques,...

Barefoot Lessons

I’ve now been training in the new Mizuno Evo range for a few weeks and feel I’ve had a good chance to really test them out and get in to training in a minimalist shoe. It’s definitely had an impact...
