Bit too close to home this. Literally. Ran past it this morning and it's just a blackened shell of a building. They were reporting last night that everyone had got out and I was thinking that it was a miracle that there were no fatalities. A dad and daughter were stuck on their balcony near the...

Awful news. Both he and his trainer killed in a car crash in Kenya. Only 24 but an incredible talent.

To be honest, I've never used one so I was just going off what I've read! My old Garmin was always way off - seemed to be the same HR whether I was running a 5km PB or a slow trot - but I'm seeing more varied readings with my new Coros.

I watched this a while ago and I fully understand the benefits but I would imagine that it takes a lot of time and commitment before you start seeing big improvements (as shown in the video). I've never been able to stick with it because my form goes to shit when I try running too slow. In...

Spot on Paladin! I moved to Spain 8 years ago and, after a few years, the cheap beers in the sun had inevitably caught up with me and I felt awful physically. I started running 5km once a week with a lad I was working with and I couldn't believe how unfit I was. I'd always cycled and played...

Definitely wasn't his first time. It was like a chemist on wheels! Iodine, wipes, bandages, mini scissors; he had the lot. Just waiting for him to bob round to change my bandages.

Thanks mate. Stinging a bit but I'll be back out again in no time.

Had a busy week so I've not been able to get out until this morning. Thought I'd brave the cold (well, 5°so freezing for me!) at 7:30 and get a 10k in before work. It was going well until I saw a mountain biker coming up the hill I was descending. Moved across to let him through whilst taking my...

Haha! Had to dig my gloves and neck scarf out this morning. It was actually 5⁰C when I left at 8:00 which felt freezing compared to 19⁰C at the same time on Thursday. Gutted not to be running the marathon today. I've done the last 3 so will definitely sign up for next year. Missed something big...

Can you send some of that cold my way? Ran 10k at 7:30 this morning and it was 19⁰C here in Valencia!!

Great running from you both! Congratulations on the PBs.

Some good deals to be had on Nike for the next week as they've got 25% off everything with the code SPRINT23. I've just purchased the Pegasus 40 for 68€ (60 quidish). Loved the previous version for a good all round daily shoe but started to feel a bit flat after 600km. They can take the place...

No jelly and ice cream?

Thanks mate.
