I am still alive and well! I've realised that I've not posted on this blog in a while, so thought I'd take some time to write this blog post to give an update on what I've been up to. First of all, I'm now a published co-author. I work in the marketing field,...
Originally created on January 1st, 2020: Updated daily until the end of January. I've decided that I will be keeping a log this year of all the runs that I've done this year by day and have a blog page for each month of the year. This blog post specifically will be...
This is more of a retrospective post, looking at how I managed to do the London Marathon on April 26th, 2015. The London Marathon was my first, and currently only marathon that I've ever done. It holds a special milestone in my life, given all the issues I had gone...

I have not run properly in a good while so I found today's run quite tough actually. It was definitely not an easy run - given that Christmas and New Year's had me eat a lot of food and frankly, I've not been eating with health in mind - let's just say. So as part of...
I did the Royal Parks Half Marathon - with last minute preparations - as I had not done any sort training whatsoever for a run of this distance - though I did do Tough Mudder a couple weeks before this, so that was the only training I had. I was basically filling in...
From getting zapped to dunking your entire body into freezing cold water, Tough Mudder this year was amazing. This was my second time doing Tough Mudder as I had done Tough Mudder, 2014 - one of the first Tough Mudder events held in London (none of the events are...
Tough Mudder: a 12 mile obstacle/assault course that I had just completed yesterday with a bunch of other people I went with. It was utterly brutal with obstacle after obstacle putting your mental thought to work as to whether you can continue or not. Or in...
Fitness to me has always been a tough thing to follow through on. I’ve had my ups and downs on my journey to become fit and I have been very fit at one stage. The next stage is being able to maintain and turn my fitness into a long-term lifestyle.
