over training

Is More Really Better?

As I’m getting ready to run my third trail Ultra next weekend, I’ve been thinking about training (and the amount of training I do) a lot. I’m used to being on my lonesome when it comes to training and what I was doing to get better at the sport. However,  now I am surrounded with […]

Mile 21

I was in a bad way, the euphoria of reaching my furthest ever distance of 19 miles was soon eradicated as the dark grey clouds and the hot, sticky, autumnal rain started to close in on me. It was Mile 21 of the Liverpool Marathon 2011, and I was hurting. Miles 1 to 15 were […]

In the last 6 months Ciele have gone from strength to strength, expanding on their initial product offer with the SS15 collection. The SS15 collection builds […]

Heaven to hell. The ups and the downs

One of the things I love most about running is that apart from the physical, it also has deep physiological connections and connotations. Everyone who runs has their own personal story and if you talk to a fellow runner about theirs there will undoubtedly be similarities that bonds us all together, but you will also quickly realise […]

Race Review| North London Half Marathon

  At the End of 2014 I set myself 2 new running goals; a Sub 22 min 5K and a Sub 1:45 Half marathon. With 3 half marathons booked before the end of May 2015 there wasn’t going to be a shortage of runs to achieve the second of my goals. The First opportunity was […]
