I can’t remember how I found out about the first ever 10K event I ran back in about 2006. But somehow I did and low and behold a few months later I found myself at the start of the British 10K event with (unsurprisingly) not enough real training under my belt. But I can remember […]

Wow, wow, wow what a weekend….I warn you this post might be a little epic. About 6 months ago a bunch of us decided we would do the Berlin Marathon as a bit of a TFTR road trip, and then of course life got in the way, a few moved country for jobs, a few

My favourite race distance has always been 10K. It’s absolutely an achievable distance for beginners and enough of a challenge if you have been running for a while and want to improve your PB, its also a friendly race distance for spectators because it doesn’t take all day for people to get round, so basically it really

I am often nervous going into a half marathon. Thoughts of wether I have done enough training or perhaps I’m carrying a slight niggle, its human nature to be a little apprehensive but yesterday morning as I made my way to the start of the Richmond Half Marathon I felt physically sick with dread. The

Three months ago (check out this post) I was running in the glorious sunshine with the iconic London 2012 Stadium in the background and chatting to running legend Paula Radcliffe about how we get more women enjoying the sport of running, yesterday I stood on that very same piece of grass with 17,000 other runners with
