Thank you to everyone that sent love towards my groin previously.  Delighted to say, I completed my first ever Marathon at the age of 49, and hated nearly every moment of it.  My groin held up (thanks

Without gloating..... This morning I ran my first half marathon and I'm so proud of myself! Bonus that I completed the distance in a time of 1:49.05, I can't believe that I have done it on the week I

Had a nice wee trot yesterday pacing John Kelly on his Pennine Way record - he took 3.5h off it. 268 miles, 58h:04m. Beast.

After 8 weeks of rehab and strength work, ankle is feeling loads better.

First run since early March happening tonight.

5-10 mins easy as fook.

Fingers crossed this is the start of the road to the Manchester marathon.

I hadn't but now I have! 

Just finished interviewing John Kelly for the Red Bull Podcast!

Awesome. Will definitely have a listen. What’s your connection to John? Are you an ultra runner yourself? I’ve become pretty obsessed with ultra running since lockdown and have my first one in November later this year.

Thanks! It’s Wendover Woods 50.  I thought it might be a good idea to do my first with Centurion as I had heard they organise their events really well.  It’s fairly local to me as well.  Hoping to do Lakeland 50 and/or NDW 50 next year.

Amazing! They'll both be great. You'll be great!

Ah amazing!  I read about Rob’s Forrest Gump run a while ago - what an incredible achievement and experience.  We have a legend amongst us! 

Nah man, I was just the guy who did it. Got lucky too. The best thing about the podcast though is realising that we've all got some superhuman in us! I'm just:

I'm still not able to do anything strenuous since covid but I'm able to get some walking and allotmenting done. 

Hoping that in a few weeks I can get started on some strength and cardio 

maybe swimming might be a gentle way of starting ? I find it good with my various aches and pains
