10 years now since I first ran the Paddock Wood Half Marathon. Almost every time I've made the journey back down the A21 I've asked the same question "It can't...
I'm not really sure where to start this week. Going back through the PB Runner Strava group it reminded me why I'm so tired. Let's just say it's been busy....
I'll start this post by sharing the achievements of the team over the weekend. At Brighton Marathon on Sunday there were PBs for Jack Matthews (3:34) and Sam Evans 3:26)....
Is there such thing as a lucky race? Well if you refer to the famous quote from South African Golfer Gary Player, then yes. He said, "The harder I practice,...
As the big races approach I am learning the anxieties that come with being a running coach. Especially in 2025 as this year I have a larger team of runners...
We are all guilty of being our own worst critics. But when it comes to your running that needs to stop. If you're getting out the front door and running,...
We all love hills right? I remember training for the 2018 Hastings Half Marathon when my fitness was particularly poor. I only ever ran on the seafront and the minute...

10 minutes. That is not a long time. Considerably shorter than the time you are likely to be racing or running intervals in the forthcoming session. Ideally we'd always do...
The Barry Richards 10K has always been a favourite of mine. My times down the years have ranged from 1:04:32 (yes it was a best effort) to 40:50, so it's...
I'll keep this one brief today as whilst there isn't a great deal of explaining to do, this running tip is very important. Rest Days. We all need them. And...
When I first started my own running journey I spent 12 months training on my own. It wasn't until I completed my first half marathon and joined my local club...
