Why do I run?

2018 comes to a close and I've spent the latter part of the year post-Berlin attempting to rehab a soleus strain that is now only wearingly frustrating in its persistence. Too much too soon. Another unexpected lesson in patience but one I'm happy to receive. Look at what I have to show for my efforts … Continue reading Why do I run? →

RDR Blog

I’m in dire need of an outlet. Cue what I’m calling RDR. Quite unexpectedly I have places in two World Marathon Majors in 2018. This is where I’ll be recording my thoughts on the journey to those races and beyond.

The smile of someone who's successfully managed about sixty minutes of running over two runs this week. Yeah whatever, you might think, but these runs were important guys! Absolutely no shin or calf pain whatsoever! The strain I thought might never go away has hopefully now made an exit and I can get back to laying down some very slow mileage.

We haven't moved far but it feels new. #run #runner #running #runhappy #happyrunner #runningcommunity #londonrunner #londonrunning #londonrunners #runnersofinstagram #runnersoflondon
Out early for a parkrun course inspection after some overnight snow and then marshaled at Ian's Corner. A bit of slush didn't deter two hundred runners and the sun came out and warmed everyone up! Why do I not mind getting up early on a Saturday for parkrun but weekday get ups can be such a struggle? #run #runner #running #runningcommunity #runhappy #happyrunner #parkrun #parkrunuk #loveparkrun #greenwichparkrun #snow #snowday #snowinlondon #snowysaturday
