This is was what I was asked last night; ‘why on earth would I want to run one ultra, let alone two ultras back to back’?! This was also a question I ...

That's the mantra for 2020 as I shift my focus away from time chasing and take on my first ultra. Yes, the unticked box from last year will get addressed, although ...

At the beginning of September, we were off on our travels again, this time to Saas Fee as volunteers for the Monte Rosa Ultra. Two trains got us to Visp, where we ...

I haven't been for a run in 10days. There's been a variety of reasons, mainly just too much going on & too many family demands. I have to admit that there ...

My first ever blog post on my London Marathon prep! Wooo!  I´m gonna keep this one pretty short as I´m going to try to post something on here as often ...

Well what do you know?  It’s a brand new year.  It’s a whole new decade.  And I’m still here and still running.  Only just though.  At the moment my ...
