Final two months of a long race year In the first 10 months of the year, if you include parkruns (which I’d ran at race pace), I’d ran 48 races. That’s over one per week! They’d been of varying distance and terrain, which had really helped me stay ‘sharp’ for the big events. I’m not […]
Recap… In my 2022 review parts one (here) and two (here), I’d took you through my gradual progression in the first half of the year – getting stronger, fitter and increasing my endurance levels.

We’re still pre-launch as I write, and whilst a little momentum is gathering via social media channels, the decision had been made by Dan […]
