Our goals can vary from … More How to keep your New Year’s Resolutions
On 10 September 2022 I was due to be taking part in Kew Gardens 10k, with Richmond Marathon the day after. I was really looking forward to these events, but with the sad news of the passing of the Queen, these events scheduled to take place within Royal grounds were understandably cancelled. As I wanted … More Runificent 2
On 2 May 2022 I took part in the Vitality London 10000. I always enjoy running in London, and although I tend to take part in longer endurance events these days it is still good to push myself with a bit of speed every now and then. This is the 6th time I’ve taken part … More Vitality London 10000

For many years the social aspect and support from … More Let’s all Run Happy
Running events are back. On 3rd April 2021 I took part in my first event of the year. It feels so strange, considering I got to the point of running around 30 events a year. I have to admit, I’ve missed running races, and it was great to be back at the start line. There … More Kempton Park Half Marathon

On 13th September 2020 I completed the Phoenix Party Train timed event. Today happens to be my birthday. A month ago I asked my wife what we were doing for my birthday (this was a loaded question)… “anything you want” she replied. Well, in that case can I run a marathon… After taking part in … More Phoenix Party Train Marathon
