Bobbi Gibb and Kathrine Switzer - therunningstories.com

Pre 1966 women didn’t run in The Boston Marathon. At the time the longest race that the Amateur Athletic Union would sanction for women was one and a half miles. That was, until Bobbi Gibb came along. Gibb had trained for two years to take part in the 1966 Boston Marathon only to have her …

Marathon training this time around has fairly taken it out of me. I think the year has caught up with me somewhat as I have trained variations in distance as well as different disciplines as I tran...

HIT THE BRAKES; CHANGE OF PLAN

HIT THE BRAKES; CHANGE OF PLAN

Much like Optimus Prime my running plan is always likely to transform at some point.

Much like Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager it is constantly evolving.

Much like Roger Moore in The Persuaders Andrew is always likely to talk me into something…

How can you say no to that cheeky face?

I’m sure you get the point by now.

Which is why, when I was expecting a nice little 10k stroll in Lorton on…

Music inspiration/motivation

With the marathon looming in Manchester I find myself turning to music to get pumped up pre training run. One of my go to songs is Can’t Slow Down by Foreigner. Watch the video and then read the lyrics…it’s guaranteed to give you some get up and go.

Barely a week went by…

Great North West Half Marathon (Blackpool) Review - Four Seasons in One Day.

Great North West Half Marathon (Blackpool) Review – Four Seasons in One Day.

February 2014:

“Never again, never freaking ever again.”

Although I didn’t say freaking…I’ll leave you to substitute.

That was my experience of Blackpool last year. To be fair, I had done the Barcelona half marathon the week before and the contrast in experiences was sizeable.

So, why I found myself signing up to the 2015 edition of the Great North West Half Marathon I really can’t answer. It…
