(Runner blog post) mad march 20
(bit delayed putting this up!)
Inspired by Rob and Hannah’s tales of two halves, I thought I’d briefly tell you about the (not so) ‘Mad March Zoom 20’ event I ran y/day morning.
(Runner blog post) Leith Hill Half
The story of the toddler and the chicken.
The race started as any usual trionium race, after a stirring rendition of the National Anthem we were away into the hills of the Surrey countryside. With plenty of encouraging marshals and passers-by, along with some stunning views of the South Downs the first four miles flew by. Read more
(Runner blog post) The Silverstone Slog
Yup, big on atmosphere at Silverstone.
The good news is a decent 1:39 for the first race this year, despite heavy legs trudging along wide tarmac with a wasteland of empty stands on all sides.

(Runner blog post) PB for me at Silverstone
I’d approached the half at Silverstone with trepidation as I didn’t feel particularly ready for it. However, I actually managed to take 10 minutes and 17 seconds off my PB, so I must have done something right. Read more
(Runner blog post) Yoga for Runners
I am teaching another yoga workshop for runners in MARCH — a little closer to home this time. Yoga for Runners: Mat to Marathon on Sunday March 13th 3:30-5:30pm at Evolve Wellness Centre in South Kensington. So if you fancy a stretch and/or some handy philosophical tips on how to mentally prepare for and complete your race, click the link to book! You don’t have to be a marathoner to attend. It will include a handout of postures to try at home, and free samples of the all-natural athlete’s engery drink Orbana.
Also, it finally looks as though I’m going to have Thursday evenings free again, so after another long absence I should be able to rejoin Clapham Runners at the track…hopefully for good!
