I am writing this with a huge smile on my face. On the 7th October 2018 I took part in the Chicago Marathon. This is the second time I have ran in America after completing the Las Vegas Marathon 2017, but the first time I have paced in America. I am very fortunate to have … More Chicago Marathon 2018
On the 30th September 2018 I took part in the Ealing Half Marathon for the second time. I first took part as the 1:40 pacer in 2015, and absolutely loved the event. The only thing that has kept me away is timing, as in 2016 I took part in the Inaugural Disney Half Paris, and … More Ealing Half Marathon 2018
On 23rd September 2018 I took part in the Bristol Half Marathon as the sub 1:40 pacer. This is the first time I have paced this event, but an event that holds a lot of special memories for me. In 2006 I took part in the Bristol Half for the very first time, and this … More Bristol Half 2018
On 16th September 2018 I took on the Berlin Marathon. This marathon is a milestone for me, and finishes off a jam packed weekend. Let me tell you some stats. The Berlin Marathon 2018 is my 40th marathon, which takes me to 47 towards the 100 marathon club (including 4 100k and 3 Ironman). This … More Berlin Marathon 2018
History is repeating itself, as I look back to 2017 when Kew 10k started an event filled weekend. Last year I paced Kew Gardens, then went to do Swim Serpentine, followed by the Reigate Half marathon (find out more in last years blog HERE). This year I organised the Kew 10k pacers once again, and … More Kew Gardens 10k
The Great North Run has been described to me as a bucket list event, it’s the largest half marathon in the world. This is an event that I have wanted to experience for some time, but the logistics have always put me off. This year I decided that I would take on the Great North … More The Great North Run 2018
It’s not every day you get an email inviting you to go to a Superhuman Academy. So when Brooks invited me to take part in the #superhumanyou campaign it was an easy decision to make. I joined a team of a Dozen from the UK, and there were teams from all around Europe. I must … More Superhuman Academy
It was this time last year I ran a last minute marathon with Phoenix Running. It would seem that randomly (probably for similar reasons) I have done the same again. Take a look at last year’s blog HERE. A bit of background for you. I always have a couple of slow months in July/August. This … More Another last minute marathon
Over the years I have paced numerous events, and during this time I have helped many people get into pacing. It has been great to see people taking time to pace others. Whether that is at a local Park run, pacing a friend, or at an official event. I am often asked for tips about … More So you want to be a Pacer?
On Sunday 29th July 2018, I took part in Ironman Hamburg. This was my third Ironman, with a twist, no swim. I was very anxious about the swim leading up to the event, especially as the weather made it likely to be a non wetsuit swim, and posted about my pre-Ironman nerves, see blog HERE. … More Ironman Hamburg 2018
