I don’t know about you, but when my gut decides it’s not my day to run, it really means it. This morning I was out predawn (3.14am to be precise), racking up miles I should have done on Sunday… Pacing was good, conditions were cool (advantages of running at 3am) and I felt comfortable resting…

Making the most of what you have can be difficult. It is all too easy to open up Instagram or Facebook, viewing countless posts by friends and athletes of their Alpine or Lakeland based run that very day, when you are faced with a flat run, with a 50m gain Hill as your only real…

After shooting Run Coed Y Brenin’s a day with Anna frost last year, I really wanted to explore more of the trails in a race environment. I’d run the half marathon course in-between shoots, so logically decided to sign up to the marathon in June. Trail Marathon Wales in set in the forests of Coed…

I’ve been pondering this descision for a while…. Do I get a coach? Do I need a coach? Will I benefit from a coach? I mean, I know it’s not a degree, but I studied Physical Education at A Level, got a B (before they added stars in) and I can tell you now it…

I am really good at waking up early. My girlfriend hates it. The slightest suggestion of the pitch black of night being broken by the first shards of sunlight and my body clock back hand slaps me round the chops “WAKE UP!” And yet, most mornings, with ample, let me rephrase that, a gratuitous amount…

For someone who writes about running, loves running, photographs running….. this year I haven’t been doing a lot of running. Between photography, illness, work and getting this website getting in better shape, running’s not been as regular as I would like. I’m a bad one of regular training sessions, I plan it in my…
