I find it hard to believe that 2016 is the 4th year I’ve run the Trowse 10k. It’s become something of a tradition now to get up stupidly early on Easter Sunday for the 9am start, then be in the pub by lunch time celebrating. In 2013 I ran in snow flurries, in 2014 I
I am officially naming this run the one in which I gave up chasing a Personal Best. I didn’t do the Marriots Way 10k in 2014, despite having paid for my spot, because I was exhausted after having organised Norwich Cocktail Week and had failed to book a spot on the shuttle bus, which made
Earlier this year stories started to appear about a City Centre road race in Norwich, so I signed up to their information emails and watched with interest. This is without doubt one of the most hyped races I have ever entered, and also one of the most expensive. I balked a little at the price
Well, I know this one is technically a day late, but yesterday was a long, long day and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to combine 2 days into one! After being sensible Gem on Saturday and resting my back a little, I headed off to London to spend the night in advance of taking part

All the way back in 2012 I wrote about my running playlist. After much experimentation I’d put together a list of songs that worked really well for helping me keep a steady pace when running, with about the right BPM and no sudden changes in tempo, and perky enough to keep me involved. Fitness First
Well, I promised myself this year that I would try and take on some races that were just plain fun, and last weekend I completed my first ever obstacle course at Rough Runner in Oxfordshire. I was feeling kind of nervous when I turned up in the morning, I didn’t really know what to expect,
Well. what a weekend filled with sporting activities I’ve had! There was no partying after Eastern Sur5al for me, because I had to get up stupidly early to get down and pick up my number for the Trowse 10k which starts at 9am. Last year I called the Trowse 10k “My Slowest Yet“, but this
As I sit here writing I have my curtains half drawn to stop the sun hitting my eyes, what a dramatic difference from yesterday! Last years Norwich Half Marathon was my first one. I trained hard for 3 months, ran to raise money for Parkinsons UK and raised over £740. Once I was done I
