Just a quick update as I’m off to Frankfurt for a couple of days to a conference but today I clocked up my 1250th mile…. not bad going. The run took me from home, around Tooting Common and back through Streatham where I picked some money up from the bank for the trip. On the [...]

Bleeding feet after 13 miles in the heat
With the bike knackered and most of the trains from Streatham into town down, I decided the only way to get to my personal training class was to run in. It’s about 6.7 miles from here to there so I figured run in in the morning and run back in the afternoon. To do this, [...]

You run 1095 miles and then can't even get a beer
So this morning I gathered with my little Glee Club of running to head on a circuit of Hyde Park to go past the 1095 mile minimum mileage point that I set myself when starting to run daily back on September 20 last year. On day 280 of the challenge, my fellow runners included David, [...]

Oh, the pain
So I had a good work out in the gym yesterday and started a new programme that builds on core strength. After weighted squats and bench presses, I also had to do power cleans which look a little like this. Of course the result, after doing no serious resistance exercises on my legs for a [...]

Back to the treadmill and 11 miles to go
So I’ve realised I’ve become a bit of a running bore. I was at an Enjoy England do last night, someone asked me how the running was going and that was it… I was off for a good hour or so, trying to convince all and sundry to come and run the Brighton Marathon next [...]

Some days inspiration is lacking, in more ways than one
There are some days where I have little inspiration to run. The sheer monotony of getting up, putting kit on and getting out can be a reaaaaaaaaal drag. Usually, nine tenths of the battle is getting out the door. Once I’m out, I’m out and if I can’t get in the ‘cruising’ zone – where [...]

Running with a pro
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 [...]

It's raining again…
… as Madness once sang. Where I grew up in Greece there’s an old joke about someone going to London and it only raining twice: once for three days and once for four. And it felt like that a little today. Despite the summer being here and us having a week of sunshines, it’s grim [...]

Earliest run, fastest time
I’m media training today and need to be in town by 7.30, so I’ve been up since 4.45 and hit the road ten minutes later. It’s a gorgeous time to run when you do it so early. Hardly anyone is around, no cars, just you, the odd street cleaner and the birds. The weather was [...]
