This is going to be a series of posts about tidying up the general clutter in digital life. It’s very much the “One day” category of decluttering. “One day I will look/listen/read this thing” but you never do and it just builds up and up! This second post is about podcasts.

This is the second year of the half marathon organised by the organisers of Virgin Money London Marathon, the Prudential RideLondon festival of cycling and Swim Serpentine.
The entry was via ballot and is purposely very timely for the upcoming London Marathon. The general entry fee was £39.00 (£35.00 for members of a British Athletics affiliated running club). Entry fee for runners from the four boroughs the run passes through was £30.
It was a 6 am alarm. Luckily I set two alarms as I fell asleep after the first. Continue reading “The Big Half Race Review and Recap – 10th March 2019”
Dropping back to an all-out dance classic this week. Off one of the best dance complication albums ever and part of the classic Trainspotting soundtrack, is the British electronic music duo (John Digweed and Nick Muir) with their dance floor stomper from the early 90s.

I recently raved about the On Hybrid Running Shorts. I thought I had found salvation – carrying my phone and other bits whilst running. Whilst I solved my problem, I was still not quite happy. The inner shorts were a bit short for me. I always wear tight/compression shorts that come to just above my knee and then loose shorts over the top. The On inner shorts come halfway down my thigh. Also, although I bought an extra-large in the On Hybrids, the inner short is still a bit too small to get over my ass.
I then came across the Ronhill Men’s Infinity Cargo Stretch Running Shorts. Continue reading “Ronhill Mens Infinity Cargo Stretch Running Shorts – Review”

I’ve signed up for this race 2 or 3 times before but have never been able to do it for various reason. This year I made it and was very interested in what one of the biggest races in London had to offer. Continue reading “London Winter Run Review/Recap – Feb 2019”

Rich Roll recently did a podcast with James Clear about his book Atomic Habits . It’s a great listen. I find it so interesting why sometimes making a change is easy and sometimes it seems impossible. I enjoyed it so much I want to give you a little breakdown of it. Here are a few snippets from the podcast –
A habit is a behaviour that’s been repeated enough times to become automatic. Continue reading “Why Habits are more important than Goals”
It’s the start of January and we’re all on clean eating and fitness regimes! Correct!
Well, I am. The London Marathon training started on 31st December – 17 weeks out from the marathon.
Because I like challenges, Continue reading “Piling on the Pounds – Weight and Running”
I spend too much time looking at running shoes. If I have 10 mins, I will go to the usual websites and look for new deals, colours or styles. I’m a Nike man through and through. The only non-Nike shoes I’ve bought in the last 10 years are the On Cloudventure, which I really like and are a specific off-road shoe. I reviewed them here.
