On 27th March 2022, I ran Rome Marathon. I was so pleased to finally take part in #RunRomeTheMarathon after originally planning to take part in 2020. I was then unable to take part in the rearranged date of 2021. I was always planning to take part in 2022 and am so happy to be welcomed … More Rome Marathon 2022
Struggling with motivation to train and push outside my comfort, I decided to enter another last minute race. I missed the online registration for the Palace Half Marathon at Hampton Court Palace, but found out that they were taking on the day registration. I know I need to be training harder, and I needed some … More Palace Half Marathon 2022
Over the past few months I have not been racing much, and quietly training in the background. I talk about motivation and enjoyment of running a lot within my blog, and the reality is, sometimes you need to reset. After a huge year of running in 2021, and lots of ups and downs, I have … More Surrey Half Marathon and Parkrun with my boy

On 15th January 2022 I took part in the We Are Houston 5k. I couldn’t resist signing up for the 5k after entering the Houston Marathon that takes place tomorrow. When you travel this far for an event it makes sense to make the most of it. On top of the 5k you will also … More We Are Houston 5k
As far as running is concerned, 2021 has been a good year for me. Not on par with 2019, or plans which never happened in 2020, but a good year nevertheless. As the events industry and travel industry continues to grow I have enjoyed being able to attend more races. Restrictions have meant a lot … More 2021 Running Recap
On 28th December 2021 I completed the Winter Marathon with Phoenix Running events. This was my last event of the year, and it also concluded the impressive Firebird Series. Phoenix Running events are well known for their impressive medals, but the Firebird medal is something else. As always I completed a marathon and today was … More Winter Marathon – Firebird Series
I have said it before, but for me, running and happiness are interlinked. I have been running for over a decade, and for the last 9 years I have paced people on the “funbus” trying to help everyone to have fun whilst achieving their goal time. For many years the social aspect and support from … More Let’s all Run Happy
On the 5th December 2021 I took part in the Golden Key Marathon. This is one of the Phoenix Running Events I like to take part in for my training runs. I only entered earlier this week, as I was not sure which event I was going to complete, but I had to enter one … More Golden Key Marathon
On the 21st November 2021 I took part in the Autumn Marathon, which is the 3rd installment of the Firebird Series.
