Did you just tag the trig point?
After the wash out that was 2016, I started 2017 wondering whether I was still an ultra-runner. Ridgeway 86 proved that I could still complete the distance, but mentally it sucked. I needed a pick-me-up, something simple but fun, something … Continue reading
Grinning all over again
When I first had the idea of running the Centurion Grand Slam it seemed like a completely unachievable goal, so much so that it took me nearly eighteen months to mention it to my coach. When I did pluck up … Continue reading
Did I really just do that?

Grocery shopping in a Lamborghini
My first marathon was disastrous – less a run and more a half marathon with a thirteen mile walk on the end. There were a number of reasons, but essentially it was due to a lack of training. If there’s … Continue reading
