Last month some of you will found the golden ticket in the post; a place in the iconic London Marathon. For many of you it will be the first marathon you’ll ever do, it was for me. For the lead up to next year's London I wanted to do something special; rather than telling my story, … Continue reading The Morning Coffee Run Crew

Running with…The Tube Runners
I came across this running group purely by chance during an Instagram scroll, instantly I was drawn in by the Tube Run's simple but exciting concept. There are so many running clubs, groups and movements springing up at the moment that it is hard to decide which one might be right for you. Tube Run, … Continue reading Running with…The Tube Runners
Running London
I have always had a love/hate relationship with London. It has been the backdrop to so many huge moments in my life: jobs, life decision, falling in love and inevitably falling out of it too. I have blissful memories scratched by saddening ones all with London's grime and grit intertwined. What would the London Marathon, my … Continue reading Running London
London Marathon
I will be posting a full run down of the London Marathon (once I've recovered) but for now I wanted to leave you with this: Don't let anyone (or even yourself) tell you what you can or can't do. You have no idea what you are truly capable of.
I’m in a Crystal Maze of Emotion

In actual fact I just took part in another of my 10Ks, this one's route circumnavigated the Olympic Park in London. The part of this race that made the heat and the seemingly … Continue reading Running with Goosebumps – Why I Run
After Charlie Hebdo
Shamefully I have been back from Paris for a few weeks now but haven’t really found the time to sit down and actually write about the experiences whilst in my favourite city. I have been many times over the past few years so I won’t dribble on about how tall the Eiffel Tower is or … Continue reading After Charlie Hebdo
Umbrella sharing and other British problems
So here I am standing on a train platform in what can only be described as monsoon like conditions with no wet weather protection. I am without; umbrella or jacket, waterproof or hat. Stood there between men and women with almighty great umbrellas, space in abundance but do they offer you space to shield a … Continue reading Umbrella sharing and other British problems

12 months, 12 runs
So after posting about my little marathon walk I've had people asking me why I would be putting myself through the pain and torment? Well to tell you the truth I don't know why. I did one 10km run in July and it has since become a fools errand of mine to do 12 runs in … Continue reading 12 months, 12 runs
