I’m Back! The Inaugural All Access 5k
Just a quick post to celebrate my return to racing after six weeks with a stress fracture and a further two of easy recovery running. I wasn’t sure what to expect with (a) no speed in my legs whatsoever (b) no runs on asphalt for eight weeks and (c) much race-rustiness in the system. I [...]
Exclusive! Get 10% Off A PaceTat Marathon Pacing Tattoo
Fall marathon season is upon us, as is the need for a smart race pacing strategy. It’s amazing how many months of planning, training and dedication can come unstuck in a matter of a few miles on race day. Get your pace wrong in the opening miles of a marathon and it doesn’t matter how [...]

To get started I did my usual 5 minute walk/1 mile run (7:22) but [...]
Sunday Morning Bike Ride
Traditionally at this time of year I’d be running long on a Sunday morning in preparation for a fall marathon.
