Heard of the RunThrough races? If there’s anything I know a fair bit about as a runner, it’s the London race scene. And although there may be hundreds of races across the capital put on by dozens of different race organisers, none dominate quite like the RunThrough races behemoth. As a London resident, I’ve beenContinue reading “The RunThrough Races London Runners Guide”

Beat Box Hill 10k
Box Hill, as you’re probably aware, is an area of the country famous for being high, especially in terms of South London anyway. The 224m high hill is home to an ascending route known as the “zig zag road”, which cyclist revere as one of the great UK climbs to attempt. It’s kind of likeContinue reading “Beat Box Hill 10k”
Run in The Dark
Alright, let’s be honest, winter is on the way people. No more shorts, no more beers in the sun and no more light evenings. Winter running though, now that is something we’ve got to look forward to. Our favourite time to run home from work in fact. It’s time to crack out the long-sleeved t-shirtsContinue reading “Run in The Dark”
Asics Blackout
When you receive an invite to an event centred around a product launch, the concepts surrounding the campaign tend come with an element of scepticism. That’s not to say that there isn’t a level of excitement that comes with the event, but any marketing surrounding it tends to be a way to promote whatever theContinue reading “Asics Blackout”
Global Running Day
Global Running Day. What is it? Why does it exist? And why is it important? Okay, I’ll give you a bit of a lowdown. Starting in 2009 and originally called National Running Day over in America, Global Running Day is a celebration of (as you probably guessed) running. The inaugural international event in 2016 sawContinue reading “Global Running Day”
Overcoming a Running Lull
Running has played a varied focus in my life over the past ten years, sometimes I’m obsessed with it and sometimes it’s just a thing I do occasionally. But over the course of 2017 I started to lose interest in it. I have no idea why or what caused it, but I just started toContinue reading “Overcoming a Running Lull”
RunThrough Finsbury Park 10k
After a couple of years trying to make our way through the gargantuan selection of races put on by the crew over at RunThrough, we’ve still got a shedload more to do. This weekend we managed to tick off the Finsbury Park 5k/10k from the list though, the only problem is they seem to beContinue reading “RunThrough Finsbury Park 10k”
RunThrough Crystal Palace 5/10k
As you’re probably aware by now, we do a lot of races with the guys over at RunThrough. Firstly because they just put on great events. And it’s not just courses, the price, the race admin, the free photos, the treats at the end and the medals. Sure, you need all of that, but theContinue reading “RunThrough Crystal Palace 5/10k”
What Actually Happens on Race Day?
We’ve done our fair share of races over at The Allrounder. So many that we’d probably go as far to say we’re pretty much experts on the subject. Not on winning them mind. No, we’re experts on turning up and finishing the things. When you race all the time it’s easy to take it allContinue reading “What Actually Happens on Race Day?”
MoRunning Battersea Park 5k
It’s not often we do a 5k these days. Not that we don’t like them, it’s actually one of our favourite distances. The problem is that when you travel around doing races a lot, a 5k seems like a very short amount of time to justify a journey. Which is a shame. 5ks are aContinue reading “MoRunning Battersea Park 5k”
