The Mental Side of the Marathon

Your mind gives up far before your body will. Apparently, when your head tells you to quit, your body is only 40% DONE. This weekend, I ran the Reading Half Marathon, and felt pretty miserable for about 10 miles of it, I even joked that I would have bailed on the race...

Reading Half Marathon Race Recap & Vlog

Reading Half Marathon Race Recap & Vlog

1.47.52 A time I would have been over the moon with 10 days ago, and yet yesterday it was a huge disappointment. After running 1.47.15 at the North London Half last weekend, I was confident in my ability to run faster over what was deemed to be a flatter, easier...

Runners, Should You Be Seeing A Podiatrist?

My feet are gross. I've run 6 marathons and clocked up thousands of miles in training, and my feet have borne the brunt of this. I've lost toenails (see how to avoid losing your nails in this blog), had countless blisters, a corn, and there's been less than impressive...

Running a Half Marathon PB at North London Half

Most UK races start around 10ish, so it was a little bit of a surprise to discover that North London Half had an 8.30am start, however it actually works in my favour having an early run. It did mean that my alarm was set for 5.30am to arrive at the start in Wembley...

Making SMART Fitness and Running Goals

Making SMART Fitness and Running Goals

Recently the team at Vitabiotics got in touch about their take on SMART goals and how they're applicable to our health. I used to hate having to make SMART goals. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has had to do them at school, university or work. S - Specific M-...
