I got away lightly this time around. No black toenails, no chafing and only one gross blister - I'll spare you the photo. Sadly my coach Mary wasn't so lucky! Plus I've been wearing my compression gear from SKINS non-stop to ensure my muscles recovered in time for two...
'What if people can hear me poop?' 'Don't worry, they'll just be jealous'. One of the conversations between Zoe and I in the build up to the start of the New York City marathon. We'd chosen to use the bathroom at the Staten Island Ferry terminal rather than having to...

It's kicking in, on Monday's run I swear I had a huge knot in my calf. Then walking around London between meetings on Tuesday, my knee started twinging. Then I developed a crick in my neck. The phantom pains. Or at least I bloomin' hope they're phantom. I posted about...
