Train. Improve. Repeat.
It's been a couple of weeks since I did my trail race before flying to the UK, but I decided I'd best write it up otherwise I would forget. How could I forget though - it was a crazy hot day! I had originally entered to run the 8k race but my friend who was... Continue Reading →
Hope you had a great weekend of running. I'm slowly building back up for the half marathon I have in a few weeks time. It feels so much harder than last year but I have to remember that I had an injury to recover from and it has been hotter which brings me to my... Continue Reading →
