RunwithRoxy
A continuation of the orginal Runwith Roxy blogs. Roxy is now 10 years old and sadly can no longer run the distances with me, although we still run park runs togther from time to time.
The quest for a sub 4.30 marathon was achieved in Brighton and now i am enjoying running marathons for running sake,rather than chasing a time. New York will be marathon number 10

Like many of us I am sure. I was soooo disappointed when the London Marathon was initially postponed until October 2020 and then again till 2021.
I have a charity place with Whizz Kids and am close to reaching my target , and although they have been g...
New York Marathon – where do I start?
The short version
In short it was the most incredible day. A HUUUUUUGE event, incredibly well organized, perfect running weather, the start line spectacular, the route was great, and the crowd was full and nois...
Good Morning from New York!
Wow!it feels incredible to finally be here. Running in this event has been on my plans for 5 years, but family commitments, half term falling wrongly and then my best friend sudddenly getting married all conspired against...
Just looking at the hugeness of that number, blows me away! New York claims to be the biggest marathon in the world (I don’t know if that’s true?) but even if it isn’t, it feels crazy to think I will be running with 46,586 plus other people, a week on ...
With just 4 weeks to go to the New York Marathon, the countdown has begun, engines pulling back for a bit…….
It’s always a funny old time once you complete that last long run and you start to ease back towards event day. That familiar feeling of have I ...
I wrote this blog update and was ready to post before the very sad news came in from Marika's family at the weekend. Of course my whitterings, trails and tribulations seem trival now in comparisson. However, if there is one thing that Marika had in spad...
The last month I have been focusing on increasing the length of the long slow run and I am finding it tough. I don’t think its running the distance that the actual problem, its more about keeping motivated to keep going once I hit the 10 plus miles. By ...
Where to start? It’s been a while.
Firstly, an apology. I have struggled with things a bit this year and a self-imposed social media ban/ ration helped a bit. The tricky side of that was ensuring I kept up with all the incredible adventures of the team...
Happy New Year everyone!
I feel like I should step up to the front of the room, like someone from AA, and confess…… Yesterday I went for my first run of the year! And more shameful still, this is my first blog in 2 months. I will do better!
My last e...
Snowdonia the summary
Sometimes you can have a great weekend… sometimes a fantastic weekend…. sometimes an epic weekend and then very rarely a weekend like we had in Snowdonia last week. Great, fantastic, amazing, epic all rolled into one. Memories th...
Good evening everyone. What a week it’s been for many of the team – some epic runs and long walks.
For me it been a week or two of retail therapy to cheer myself up– with a bit of training for Snowdonia too. Daughter number 1 has started her 3rd year ...
Whilst out on my long run yesterday I found myself thinking about how the numbers add up for marathon training.
Obviously come the big day of the Marathon itself you need to run 26.2 miles – although in my first London Marathon, too much weaving meant ...
Firstly big apologies for my long absence. I have been keeping up with many of you via Facebook but sadly haven’t made enough time to write and read blogs lately. But I am back …. If you’ll still have me J, and I’ll try and briefly update you on my year...
