I know it’s been a few weeks! So, in my journey to 100m, which was never the intended challenge, we’ve reached the end of 2013. A year of 2 half marathons that went really well and actually made me believe that running was good for me. Maybe not marathons, but the half marathon was definitelyContinue reading “2014 – The first Multi-race Challenge”

Great atmosphere today, absolutely loved it. And hopefully many more to come. I mentioned in my last blog thatContinue reading “The 1st race as Usingh Bolt.”
London Take 3 & My Christening!
Hi. First of all, apologies for the gap between blogs. I make it 4 weeks! That wasn’t the intention. But I liken this gap to me and marathons in my early days. Fully committed to begin with, lost a bit of focus and then back on it. Hopefully there won’t be such a long gapContinue reading “London Take 3 & My Christening!”
2010 – 1 Half became 2.
Before I dive into 2010, I just want to take a moment to mention that I’ve completed my 49th official full marathon today. It was at the Bedford Autodrome and run by Runthrough who put on some great races around the country. I mention this as at the end of the last blog I wroteContinue reading “2010 – 1 Half became 2.”
2009 Part 2 – New York, New York
Hello and welcome to the 2nd part of my look at 2009. The year I became ambitious and did 2 marathons in one year, approx. 5 months apart. In the last blog I covered Silverstone Half and Edinburgh and how Edinburgh was difficult due to the unexpected heat on the day. After a few weeksContinue reading “2009 Part 2 – New York, New York”
2009 Part 1 – When the Going got Hot!
As I mentioned in the previous blog, 2008 finished with an unexpected 3rd race in the form of the inaugural Birmingham marathon. Silverstone half before London marathon had been part of the plan. In October 2008, when the London marathon ballot results came out, I had not been successful. This time I decided I wasContinue reading “2009 Part 1 – When the Going got Hot!”

Lets Talk About…. 1. Runsome
Let’s talk about ……… Runsome. Every so often I’m going to take a week off from blogging about My Journey to 100m and to discuss something more generic, running based of course. The first in the Let’s Talk About series is about Runsome, https://runsome.org/. It’s something I became aware of during 2020 and have beenContinue reading “Lets Talk About…. 1. Runsome”
My 1st and Only Full Marathon!
So, the first race I did, GNR 2006 had went pretty well all things considered. If I’d used some common sense back then I would have carried on running for 2 months. Not any long runs; but just getting out 2 or 3 times a week and putting some miles in, letting the body getContinue reading “My 1st and Only Full Marathon!”
