Seven months ago, the team over at Quest Adventure Series invited me to take part in their newest event, Quest Wales (you can read about that one here). I was apprehensive at the time as a large chunk of the race was based on cycling – something I’ve never been particularly good at, especially whenContinue reading “Quest Killarney”

Quest Wales
If you live in most parts of England, there isn’t a great deal of choice when it comes to seeking out mountains. The Lake District is a phenomenal location to go and it’s by far one of my favorite places in the UK, and Scotland, well, Scotland’s on a completely different level when it comesContinue reading “Quest Wales”
Quest Wales
Running. I love it. When someone asks me if I want to do a race my first instinct, even before I read about it, is to check my calender to see if I’m free. My history of triathlons is not quite so positive though. Cycling I can take or leave, but I’m not going toContinue reading “Quest Wales”

What is a Gigathlon?
So, you’ve done a few triathlons. Maybe even done an Ironman. Not bad my friend, not bad at all. But have you ever heard of Gigathlon? No? We hadn’t either until a recent trip to Switzerland. And they love it over there. Whereas triathlon is made up of three disciplines, Gigathlon is made up ofContinue reading “What is a Gigathlon?”
MEAME Performance Fashion
Picture the scene. You turn up at work fresh from a cycle commute. As soon as you get there your boss pokes his head out of the door, cheeks red with urgency and brow glistening with perspiration. “Get in here Smith. We’re having a meeting!” He bellows across the forecourt. “But I’m wearing my cyclingContinue reading “MEAME Performance Fashion”
Prudential Ride London
We spend a lot of time doing running events at the Allrounder, most weekends in fact. We love running. Well, we kind of hate running in many ways; it hurts, it means we have to get up early and we have to give up a lot of free time to train. It’s a sort ofContinue reading “Prudential Ride London”
How to train for endurance cycling
Endurance events are popping up all over the place these days; ironman, ultra marathons in the mountains, cycle rides across continents, hell, we’re even doing a race around a Scottish Island in September (note to self: start training). But what’s the key to maintaining any sort of prolonged exercise for hours on end? Well, we’llContinue reading “How to train for endurance cycling”

Fitness in Richmond Park
London is for the most part amazing. Yeah, sure it can be busy and stressful, sometimes all you can think about is moving away to a quiet little town where the word ‘queue’ means a handful of people waiting to get some stamps and you can buy a round of drinks without phoning for an overdraftContinue reading “Fitness in Richmond Park”
