From this Thursday (Feb 2) at 6.30pm, I will be starting a 1095miles.com running club out of the London Fields Fitness studio in Hackney.

So I know it’s been a long, long time… but I do have two super little excuses in the way of our two daughters, Martha and Gracie who were born at 3.53 and 3.52am in the morning on October 21. Given they decided to make an appearance nine weeks early, the first six weeks of [...]
