Good friend of 1095miles.com Alex Kyprianou ran the Melbourne 10k this weekend in one of our t-shirts – a stirling effort. Here’s his account of the day. We heartily recommend his excellent blog There’s a new kid in town: or the king is dead (dying) – long live the king! My tenure as fastest person [...]

Im running the Royal Parks half today with some trepidation, but more of that after the run… In the meantime, brilliant news from Down Under where our favourite Aussie (yes, he even beats Dannii and he’s not really an Aussie, he’s an emigrated Brit but you get my drift) has just completed a 10k in [...]

As with last week, I met up with the guys from my pal David’s work – we’re all running the Royal Parks [...]

… and I’m finally done… One of the last two will be in Shropshire, either tomorrow or Sunday. Laura and I are going up for the weekend, so I can do a story for The Express but we set off early tomorrow morning (we have to leave home at 7am) so I’m not sure whether [...]

Sorry for not writing more yesterday but I’ve had a pretty full on week what with trying to finish off a host of freelance writing projects, having the house in a tip from the builders and painters who’ve been trouncing in and out and also trying to get another, rather large, section of my personal [...]
