This year marked the 30th anniversary of the Brighton Half marathon, and by jove was it a memorable one. Not least because of the 45mph winds buffeting runners along the course. It’s not often I travel out to a non-London based race that I’ve already done, but I enjoyed the Brighton Half in 2019 soContinue reading “Race Guide: The Brighton Half Marathon”

The Best Marathons to Sign Up for 2020
Looking for the best marathons to add to your race calendar is a big deal. Most of us only do one or two a year and aside from the laborious training plans, you’re also looking at a heap of costs from race entry to travel and hotels. I’ve done quite a few now and theyContinue reading “The Best Marathons to Sign Up for 2020”

The RunThrough Races London Runners Guide
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”
Race to the Stones
In an ideal world, where I ran in a race, finished with a good time, grabbed a medal and went home, this post would actually be a pretty simple review of the Dixons Carphone Race to the Stones. Unfortunately I didn’t do all those things. I mean, I did some of them, but not inContinue reading “Race to the Stones”
Simplyhealth Great Team Relay
I actually didn’t know I was going to be running in the Simplyhealth Great Team Relay until about a week before, when a friend of mine asked if I wanted to join a team of four. I’d never actually heard of the race beforehand, and the fact that it’s about 15 minutes from my flat wasContinue reading “Simplyhealth Great Team Relay”
RunThrough Regent’s Park 10k
Let’s be honest, we’re having one hell of a dreamy summer over in the UK at the moment. Well, we’re having one hell of a summer if you don’t have to do anything like running. Because let me tell you, today was one ridiculously hot day for running. At the point of me writing thisContinue reading “RunThrough Regent’s Park 10k”
The Price of Race Photos
I remember about 10 years ago when race photos where a luxury. You ran in an event, probably the one event you were doing that year, a race where you were ridiculously proud of yourself for finishing or getting a good time. About a week later you get an email saying the photos are available.Continue reading “The Price of Race Photos”
Running events coming up
As we spend a hell of a lot of time either racing, wading through websites trying to find races coming up or just generally thinking about it, we thought “Why don’t we stick a handy list of our favourites coming up so our readers can save a bit of time?” And here it is, linksContinue reading “Running events coming up”
The British 10k London Run
As London races go you’d be hard pressed to find one quite as iconic – apart from the London Marathon, obviously. The London Marathon is an extremely long race though, and there are massive chunks of it that aren’t quite as nice as the media coverage would make it appear (Woolwich back streets anyone?). TheContinue reading “The British 10k London Run”
