On the 16th January 2022 I took part in the Houston Marathon. I always love going on adventures to travel and pace events around the world. Houston Marathon was the 5th State I have ran a marathon, and 4th I have paced. I am getting excited that I am so close to the 100 Marathon … More Houston Marathon 2022
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.

On the 17th October 2021 I took part in the Amsterdam Marathon. A year later than planned, and now joined by many other events out of sync owing to covid cancellations and postponements. This was actually my 4th Marathon in as many weeks, after pacing Berlin Marathon, getting a PB at London Marathon and then … More Amsterdam Marathon 2021

The event organisers have done a great job this year, managing to take … More Kew Gardens 10k 2021

On 17th May 2021 I took part in my 9th of 11 marathons in 11 days. It absolutely poured with rain over night, so once again I was contemplating taking a boat for the towpath, but it actually turned out to be one of the nicer days so far. My legs are much more tired, … More Day 9 of 11: 11 Marathons in 11 Days
On 13th May 2021 I took part in my 5th of 11 marathons in 11 days. I can’t quite believe I’m saying this. It was only a decade ago I ran my first, and before now I have never ran more than 2 marathons in a row, but today is marathon number 5 in as … More Day 5 of 11: 11 Marathons in 11 Days
