I’ve run the Kingston Breakfast Run as this run was once called once before back in 2010, before my last London Marathon. It has been a mainstay for many years for spring marathon runners as it offers a 16-mile race, 4 weeks before the London Marathon and 2 weeks prior to Brighton.

The Big Half Race Review and Recap – 10th March 2019
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.
The Build Up
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”
London Winter Run Review/Recap – Feb 2019
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”
Virgin Sport British 10km Pace Recap – July 2018

I was very happy to accept this opportunity, see an event from a different perspective and help others meet their goals. Continue reading “Virgin Sport British 10km Pace Recap – July 2018”
The Green Belt Relay – May 2018
A few weekends ago, an intrepid team of myself, 10 other runners and a team driver took part in The Green Belt Relay
Whats the Green Belt Relay?
I asked myself the same thing too. You will probably not heard of it unless you are a member of a London running club. Continue reading “The Green Belt Relay – May 2018”
Ealing Half Mini Recap – Sept 2017 – The Mental One
A shorter recap of this year’s Ealing Half. You can read a fuller review from last year here.
I’m not sure why I entered the Ealing Half this year. It’s a great race and fairly local, but following the Great North Run two weeks ago and a weekend chugging beer and demolishing schnitzel in Berlin, I was not feeling fully “on it”. It was likely an early bird email deal that I just could not resist! Continue reading “Ealing Half Mini Recap – Sept 2017 – The Mental One”
Great North Run – Sept 2017 – The Iconic One
The Great North Run has been on my bucket list for many years. Just like the London Marathon, you wake up on a Sunday morning, make a cup of tea and switch on the TV to find its Great North Run day. You watch the coverage, get all inspired, swear that you will do it next year and then go for a run. This year, I held myself to it and did it.
