The most if not only important piece of gear you’ll own as a runner are your sneakers. The right ones can make you feel like you’re flying the wrong ones can derail your career. I’ve had a wide gamut of running shoes from those that weren’t really considered running shoes to very expensive ones fitted... Continue Reading →
This week I’ve been trying to make the idea of something being penultimate a thing. It’s had some mixed success. In half marathon training plans there are a few (in my case 4) really hellish weeks before your taper off and rest usually. From past experience I’ve found that last week to be empowering, a...

If you come to triathlon the way most of us do, through running, you might get a big ‘ol smack in the face when you get to the start line of your first triathlon. Sure they chat at the start line, you almost have to since you’re there way longer but the chats are different.... Continue Reading →

We’re not talking about your run of the mill stupid stuff like this stuff. But... Continue Reading →

I broke a trainee, They messed with the schedule (which turned out to be a good thing), it serious... Continue Reading →
