Back in the time of the prosperous, when Kim and I both had London jobs and London flats and escaped to Sussex at the weekends, we each had a personal trainer too. In fact I would go to the gym in London Bridge at least twice or three times a week and it would be [...]

I received a lot of verbal comments from readers about the Sports Ball Shop competition (pictured above) in November/December… in the main from friends professing weakly to have too little time to write a few short sentences on a running theme! But two people did submit stories and so, by default, they each win [...] Its competition time, although in this case you can compete from the comfort of your own home!
SportsBallShop have always been heavily involved with local sports clubs and teams, providing much-needed equipment and funding. Recently though they have expanded into the online world and started the Sponsor A Fitness Blog campaign to support passionate fitness advocates [...] In 1977 my brother Nigel and his friend Geoff Hunter circumnavigated Iceland in a pair of kayaks that Nigel had designed and build specifically for the purpose. You can now read the story at https://sites.google.com/site/icelandbykayak1977/ When I was staggering down the stairs at six o’clock this morning with stiff legs from Sunday and a painful back, the idea of going for a run seemed a little silly. However, I had arranged to meet the Bok for a slow run (HA, there’s two words that rarely appear in such close proximity!) so I [...] Having sported a painful back for about a week, I couldn’t face a repeat run with Mark and Mach 2 yesterday, so I opted instead for a relaxing day in the garden… wasn’t it a beaut?!

We gathered at Dai’s place in Patcham for a weigh-in last night with both Daren’s pack and mine showing 7.8kg. Dai’s was 1kg lighter, but then he’s not [...] I visited RUN in Hove on FosterRuns 4th birthday last week (it always seems like an appropriate birthday treat) and Kurt very kindly ordered me in a pair of Saucony Progrid Guide 4′s, which I picked up today. So, despite finding it really hard to choose between the numerous different opinions as to the shoes [...] A couple of weeks back I went to Plumpton Agricultural College where the Principle, Des Lambert, gave members of BHBPA a guided tour of the facility. It was a really interesting evening, which started by him driving us up onto the Downs in a LandRover to show us the college from above. Once up there he [...] I was planning to help my folks move some flotsam & jetsam and since it was likely to be another warm day, I went to bed early (after an energetic day cutting grass and polishing my car) and got up at 6am. This meant I was out running by seven and down at their place shortly after [...] |
