Train. Improve. Repeat.
So the time has finally come and tomorrow I head to the Gold Coast to the Legends Lunch as Gold Coast Marathon Advocate where I will be interviewed on the stage by Steve Moneghetti for a couple of minutes, I'll then go to the Expo and pick up my race number and pop to see... Continue Reading →
Wow it has been an interesting week this week. In addition to of course counting down to the Gold Coast Marathon my grandad back in the Uk hasn't been well, my son ended up at hospital and I had a car crash! Everyone is fine but it sure took my mind off the fact that... Continue Reading →
Wow I can't believe it - it's less than two weeks until the Gold Coast Marathon. What a roller coast ride it has been! I'm almost there now. Tapering off on my longer runs and gearing up to go. The flu that I had has gone now - yay and my shoe issue is 90% sorted.... Continue Reading →
I had a bit of a not so great week last week. After all the trials with my foot and not having run a decent long run; on Tuesday night I then got sick. I'd been outside for too long at night wheeling my son up and down a cold foyer and the next morning... Continue Reading →
Well the marathon is almost here and the last week or two have not been without drama as you will have read in my last post.

It's a 7 week countdown now to the Gold Coast Marathon and I have struggled this week to remain motivated. The weather has gotten colder, it's dark in the mornings and early evening and I just want to stay in bed! I had a couple of sessions where I pushed them to later in the... Continue Reading →
The last week or so has been a blur with training and organising my son's first birthday party. I never tend to do things by half so I put far too much stress on myself in preparation for his party and ended up making 4 cakes for his birthday as trial runs and they all... Continue Reading →
I hope you've had a good week of running. It's been a mixed week of running the last 7 days for me and I can't believe the Gold Coast Marathon is now less than three months away! I had a bit of a melt down about a week ago when I suddenly realised I am... Continue Reading →
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind but great from a running point of view. I am slowly getting faster and slowly getting used to running further. This week I have done around 60k and I finally feel like I am getting a bit stronger. Saturday I ran 20k, yesterday 6.5k and today I ran... Continue Reading →
