Today’s the last day of my advanced gym programming course that contributes to my personal training diploma, leaving me a couple of weeks to embed all the information – and there’s a lot of it – until my assessment. While I think I get most of it, it’s only when you actually start revising the [...]

I felt pretty dreadful for most of the day yesterday – in fact, that’s rubbish, I felt awful all day… After heading into town for my PT course, it dawned on me that I’d had a pretty heated conversation with some travel industry colleagues at the leaving do and so sent them an apologetic text. [...]

I was very silly last night. It was Stephanie Boyle, PR manager at Visit Britain’s leaving do and I’d said I’d pop in for a couple after my course as I had to be up early to go again. Best laid plans and all that… I ended up leaving at 11pm, a mixture of red [...]

We’re just about to drive back to London after being in Yorkshire since Wednesday night and I woke up this morning with every single leg muscle feeling the pain of covering almost 30 miles in four runs since we got here. So I decided to set out this morning for a nice easy recovery run… [...]

Hangovers all round after Laura’s sister Alice’s wedding to Andy on Saturday night but despite the fuzzy head, my main wedding gaffe came before we even set off for the wedding. The reception was taking place in a marquee at Laura’s father’s house and the plan was for the family to stay in a Day’s [...]

So after arriving in Germany yesterday evening, I had my first run while here this morning. I’m here at a convention with Peter Nunn, my buddy from the BBC and managed to convince him to come and meet me for a run at 5.45am this morning as we were starting our sessions at 7am… absolute [...]
