The last large organised road race I did was the Big Half, back in March of 2020. The first large organised road race I ran post Covid was the same run. It was so nice to be part of 12,000 people, running 13.1 miles from Tower Bridge to Greenwich. From a personal point of view, … Continue reading Racing, I’ve missed you.
In the same vein as the daily breathing tools, I thought I’d list some of the breathing methods I find useful when running. I’ve thought of some names to hopefully help remind what each one is for, alongside a brief description of how to use each one. Roll – For those easy runs, where you … Continue reading Running breathing tools
I was lucky enough to be invited by Shaun onto his podcast this week. He has changed the format into running whilst interviewing his guests. We had a chat and did some breath work for running.

I’ve been giving some thought to which breathing methods I’ve found useful or have seen other people / children find useful and settled on 7 that seem to really help in day to day situations. None of them are new, all of them do work. I’ve given them each a short name to try and … Continue reading Daily breathing tools
Meditation is definitely one of those Marmite subjects, it inspires extreme reactions in so many people. Talk to somebody about this and there is a whole spectrum with which the conversation can travel in, from distrust, disinterest to evangelising about its efficacy and how effective it is.

And the Olympics comes to an end with a worthy performance. I was going to write about meditation being a superpower, but this felt so much better to write about due to timing. With the men’s marathon being the last event of the athletics it always tends to have a little more weight about it. … Continue reading Kipchoge – G.O.A.T.
In January Jenny booked a holiday in Mousehole, Cornwall. Both of us had had a really intense last few days in and out of work and really needed to spend the time away, so where hugely looking forward to the break. We had a prefect little cottage, part of a small row that you could … Continue reading Doing less to do more.
What a beautiful sunset it was last night. The weather was glorious. Getting out of London was the right idea. Arriving at the coast, taking a BBQ to the beach, a dip in the sea with friends, food, music, conversation all to above as a backdrop. Calm, relaxing and wonderful. We were the only people … Continue reading A perfect evening
A mixed week running this week, that started successfully rehabbing one injury, then provoking another. However a good end to the week with a breath academy get together, breathing session and ice bath. Friday was definitely a highlight point. Having slightly strained the top of my right thigh last week, I was taking things easy … Continue reading Threshold, speed, breathing to recover and ice baths
Nearly two years have passed since I made the decision to cut out the booze. It seems such a long time ago now and something I reflect on fairly regularly. Initially this was a response to a running injury. I’d had a long boozy Saturday, that still was affecting me the following Thursday. It was … Continue reading Cutting out the booze.
