A bit of a boring run today… I felt quite tired and so took it pretty easy, just enjoying a little circuit around Norbury with a light jog rather than trying to rush it.
I’m quite excited by the possibility of running with Ben Moreau, who I’ve been introduced to through my pal Ben Maher – or at least I have by email and I’m hoping to set up a run with him.
Ben in action
Ben (Moreau that is) is a proper elite athlete who represents the UK at all sorts of levels. His times are pretty much twice as good as mine: 14 minutes as opposed to 24 for 5k and 2.16 as opposed to 3.45 for the marathon. It will be impossible to keep up with him but interesting to get an insight into the mind of an elite athlete.
Ben claims to not be a natural runner but to be someone who has worked hard at it. Not being the former, I’d love to know what he did to change that around.

Can we get both Bens and all followers of James and his herculean year long run out on 26th June at Hyde Park?

I’d love to be there but stuck up North that weekend. I’m hoping to get down for a run before the year is out though.
