A subtle reminder that even though the weather may be crappy where you are, conditions might be less conducive to keeping fit, healthy and motivated, continue to do something, ANYTHING because in the spring time, you will be one more winter older and if you haven’t kept up a little base line fitness, you will… Read More Gentle reminder
Are you thinking about it? you kind of know not to eh but you don’t want to lose your place, you might not be able to keep progressing but you REALLY don’t wish to slip back. Have a read through some of my thoughts, if you don’t like them, too bad, hopefully though you can… Read More Training through an injury…
OK, so, I love training, I LOVE living in the alps, I love the prospect (if not always the reality) of entering running races but I took my annual pilgrimage back to my home planet (near Nottingham in the middle of the UK) for a month to see family and take care of some of… Read More gimme a break…

What I want to discuss in this post is the unseen, adverse impact of what these armchair experts, the anonymous swarm… Read More Armchair critics
I posted a tongue in cheek article entitled dont be that guy some time ago. It was based loosely on a true story but partly fictional about a guy bragging his prowess in a different context to his current setting. I dont use facebook too much now, just for chatting with friends or occasionally laughing… Read More bad case of the “me-me’s”
I have a bit of a love:hate relationship with social media, one half of the time I am happy to share my pictures, thoughts, ideas and goals and almost immediately after doing so I have the swing emotion of almost wishing I hadn’t, on one hand it is so nice when you have something good… Read More Social media….
