My personal attack on purple broccoli has led to a public backlash and the running police are on my case for promoting a more individualistic and maverick approach to training. Random boxes of fresh vegetables (including copious quantities of the dreaded broccoli) have been left on my doorstep, and my email inbox has been… Read More In Praise of Blueberries
There are many resources for aspiring runners like myself to access in that never-ending quest to squeeze the last ounce of energy and effort from our bodies as we chase our individual running goals and personal bests. The quest is never-ending in the same way that the finishing line in Madeira Drive seemed to recede… Read More Forget the Purple Broccoli
I have been an established marathon runner for a week and a day since completing the Brighton Marathon on 9th April in a time of 5 hours 46 minutes and a bit. Most of the intensive training was undertaken during the winter months, and then we ran on the hottest day of the year so… Read More Keep on Running

The incident occurred 5 weeks ago, along the banks of the River Nene as it flows gently through the Northamptonshire countryside at Titchmarsh nature reserve. The ground was very wet and muddy due to… Read More Twist and Shout

This was one circuit and a bit of Pitsford Water, plus a bit… Read More The Long and Winding Road
Training took a little dip in the post half-marathon period, mostly due to low level bugs and the usual pressures and distractions of everyday life. We elite athletes just need to be left alone, untroubled by things like work, gardening and shopping, but for some strange reason no-one appears to give us this freedom! I’m… Read More On the Road Again
