[Originally posted on Bristol Running Resource, 28/04/11] The early burst of warm weather we’re experiencing this year will no doubt be welcomed by many runners. But it is deeply frustrating for those of us sidelined to the armchair. It would be great to be putting in a few […]
[Originally posted on Bristol Running Resource, 27/10/11] Are you a runner who is a slave to the stopwatch? Tyrannised by the timer? I have to admit that I am. I don’t keep a proper training log to track my efforts, but I always run with a stopwatch. I’ve […]

[Originally posted on Bristol Running Resource, 17/10/10] Are you the type of person who distracts themselves with music on the run? Or someone who prefers the company of their own thoughts when on the move? I love listening to music in all sorts of situations – at work, […]
[Originally published on Bristol Running Resource, 10/10/10] I’ve been out and about this weekend, visiting the in-laws in south Wales. Managed to squeeze in a run this morning. We ran north out of Beaufort on the road to Llangynidr. Within five minutes you’re into Powys and the Brecon […]
