How Your Mental Fitness Is Going To Get You That PB

How Your Mental Fitness Is Going To Get You That PB

The more I've trained for and run 26.2 mile races, the more I've realised what a mental game a marathon is, let alone the four months leading up to race day. I was invited to the Marie Claire FitFest a few weeks ago, and although I couldn't be there for the whole...

The Time I Won a 5K…

...in my age group. My plan had been to use a local race while I was in Atlanta as part of my long run, however apparently October is not the month to run here as I found it hard to track down a longer race. A 5K in Dunwoody, a suburb nearish to where we were staying...

Royal Parks Half Marathon 2016 Race Recap

Royal Parks Half Marathon 2016 Race Recap

Why do all of the good races always fall on the same day? On Sunday that was the Royal Parks Half, Oxford Half and Henley Half - all of which I wanted to run. But Royal Parks Half is the best half I've ever run, so I wasn't going to let the opportunity to run it again...

Active Adventure in Jersey

Tom’s idea of a good holiday is probably slightly different to mine - they both involve sun and relaxation, however mine has a lot more activities and probably less beer than Toms. And luckily this was a holiday organised by the Jersey tourist board, organised for me...

Running in Zion

Running in Zion

One of the best places we stayed in Utah was at Zion Mountain Lodge - we only stayed for one night but managed to make the most of our stay... We'd booked in for a ride on the Friday afternoon, an hour long hack to explore the reserve. I've ridden a lot growing up, so...
