(Runner blog post) Southend Half Marathon 2010
Funny old game, this running.
My expectations for this race were very low, having had a sluggish few weeks after the VLM, and falling prone to niggles various. Also, I did it last year and wasn’t looking forward to the repetitive “up and down the front four times” course. Read more

Janie in Washington
Well done to Janie for her 5km in Washington – completed in 28 minutes in 30 degree heat and 100% humidity (don’t think I would have fancied that!). Janie’s team (family and friends from over the world) raised over $7,000 for brain cancer research.

(Runner blog post) Laura’s Race Report
Hello all. Thanks for coming out to support us today. It was fantastic seeing you all — twice!
I suppose I stuck to my race plan in that I tried to run with the 9 minute mile pacer for at least the first half and then see how it was going. This proved difficult as it was very crowded and I don’t think she actually hit the spilts for that pace until about mile 18. Struggled to dart in and out of people to keep her in sight more well. Having said that the pace felt faster than I expected — which was probably a combination of the heat and my not being that fit, having done my training runs very slowly. Read more
