Our friends at Orchard Street Runners just released this cool flick of the 2014 MIDNIGHT HALF The film, by Brian Vernor and Bob Geile, perfectly captures the spirit of night running in NYC – particularly for me the awesome silence you ‘hear’ around you in the city that never sleeps as you hit the pavement/sidewalk […]
I tend to run on my own a lot of the time, partly because it’s time where I can just go out and de-stress, plot plans or work things out in my head and partly because I’m a pretty slow runner and don’t like the pressure of having to run faster or the guilt of […]
As 21st Century citizens, we’re no-strangers to the topic of ‘body image’. For a lot of us, it’s plays a significant role in our daily doings – and by that, I don’t mean that we’re all vain and self-centered beings, but rather the high level of expectation placed upon image and presentation in the modern […]
After the highs of completing my first half marathon in Berlin it was time to do a half closer to home, the Wimbledon Half Marathon in leafy South West London One thing that has surprised me since I’ve started competing is how expensive some races are to enter, so I decided to do some research into […]
For years holidays for me have been about rest and relaxation along with plenty of good food and the occasional alcoholic beverage, ok occasional is a lie! Now holiday running is also a major part of my travels and my running gear is often the first things packed. This Christmas I was very lucky to […]
You can start the year as a runner – and end it somewhere else. Somewhere totally different that you didn’t think was possible.

Running apparel is undoubtably getting more tech and more futuristic looking each season. We have 3M reflective micro glass, taped seams, technical fabrics and a space age race against weight which can only be resolved when someone produces a pair of compression socks that have anti-gravity properties. Don’t get me twisted though, I love the ritual […]
December 23rd 2014, in Ruka, Kuusamo, Finland. It’s so beautiful outside that it feels like a fairytale, but it’s also -24C degrees with wind chill -31C. For me this is normal for winter, as I’m born and raised in Finland. But for many, as I’ve understood, this is far from normal. So how am I […]
In the spirit of all things Running Crew-based, we wanted to delve a little further in to the minds of those behind the crews – where better to start with Joe DiNoto of New York’s Orchard Street Runners. In-between leading OSR’s Tuesday evening runs, corresponding with runners from around the world, and hanging out on […]
A few of the Pavement Bound crew have been participating in the Advent Running Challenge, initially I didn’t think it was that big of a deal but hearing them compare their run to “having a child and needing to put that child to bed every night” I realised how much of a commitment running everyday […]
