30/01/2021 Duration: 04minCan you outrun your car? I'm not talking about for speed but for mileage. What about setting yourself a challenge to run further than your car this week/month/year. It might make you think more about those unnecessary journeys and more about getting those running miles in.

29/01/2021 Duration: 11minOnce again you're tired, hungry but you still haven't managed to get your run in. What can you do? Sometimes we need to think outside the box. Running training isn't just about running. There are alternatives that might just help us be better runners but the exercise we do needs to be manageable, it needs to be enjoyable, it needs to be planned and it needs to be useful to your overall running goals. I talk about my struggles with fitting running into a busy schedule.

27/01/2021 Duration: 09minHave you ever taken part in a race where there was no defined finish, you just had to keep going until you were the last competitor? It sounds like a crazy kind of a race but if you think of COVID as a kind of race then it seems somewhat similar. We've started the race but we don't know where the finish line is. What can running teach us about the strategies that we need to adopt in order to win this race? I look at an interesting article by Alex Hutchinson which tries to shed some light on this subject.
