It has been a while, but delighted to be back with my first #medalmonday for the year with the spoils from the Kirkhill 8 Ultra. Frankly, I feel a bit like my number, crumpled and a bit crushed 🀣, but super happy to get another ultra under my belt. #ukrunchat

Simon Blair was diagnosed with ADHD later in life. In this podcast episode Simon shares how endurance sport, including the Marathon des Sables, became more than just a physical test for him.

Went to see explorer & adventurer Levison Wood at the theatre last night – fascinating talk from someone who’s walked huge distances

It got me thinking…

Runners... would you ever swap your run shoes for walking boots and take on a long-distance walking adventure / race instead? πŸ‘£

Me, in shorts and a yellow running top holding a bell, standing on grass next to the Parkrun Northampton banner. You wouldn’t know it from that photo but I was so wrecked after that run that someone looked at my crumpled heap on the floor & asked if I was okay. You might be tempted to write that off as a one off, but it’s the second race I’ve ran this week, the second time it turned me into a crumpled heap, and the second time someone asked if I was okay. What can I say. I’m a maniac.

Relaxed Something happened this week and I cannot really explain it. I realised, with about ten days to go before my ultra race, just how relaxed I feel about it. I do not even feel like I have been traini…

Six days until my ultra race. I should be bricking it, right? For some reason, I feel really calm. I think that's a reflection of where I am with my running right now. New blog up now #ukrunchat #run #blog @_TeamBlogger craigaw1969.wordpress.com/2025/05/18/r...

"This too shall pass." @alexstaniforth_
Whether you're in the middle of a tough run, a long training block, or life throwing challenges your wayβ€”those four words can be powerful.

Mantras aren’t just for race day.

Take 30 seconds to listen.
What’s your go-to mantra when things get tough?

Anyone tried using JogOn to recycle their old running shoes? Previously, I've dropped them off at Runners Need as their stores have collection bins. Unfortunately, there are no stores close to me, whereas JogOn gives you a label to post your shoes. https://www.jogonagain.com/ #UKRunChat […]
