To be honest there really isn’t a wrong time to register for a race but is there a perfect time? I would say yes there is. Of course it depends what race and what year you’re talking about and it could even vary from person to person. How can something so simple also be so... Continue Reading →
I’m not sure when it happened, maybe when it was happening to me in 2016 then but it seems running a half has become a common bucket list item. These tips are mostly directed for runners tackling their first half but you might find some gems here if you are a repeat offender too. Even... Continue Reading →
I might sound obvious to seasoned runners but I’ve only recently realized how true that is. I know I’m a slow learner but it’s really struck me this year that even when you’re doing the exact same distance, the same months of the year, even the exact same plan or even for the same race...
