**Disclaimer: I suspect that this selection of rants and raves may be more random than usual. As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans represent my own views. Numerous far less negative running blogs are available** As always, I’d like to start by saying Good morning/afternoon/evening to whoever takes the time to read my latest blogging masterpiece. I hope that you had an…
Good morning and happy Monday! I hope that whoever reads this blog had an amazing weekend. I’ve got something slightly different for you this morning, some information about the state of Ultra Running in 2020. Please don’t get your hopes up; I’m not planning on attempting an ultra marathon any time soon. I think 10k is about my limit. I thought I’d share the results…
I’d like to start by wishing everyone who reads this post a Happy New Year! I hope that you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year. Here’s to a runtastic (sorry I couldn’t resist) and hopefully injury-free 2020. As, like a lot of runners, I’ve reviewed 2019 in a lot of detail, I think it’s now time for me to look ahead to 2020 and…
**Disclaimer: I have a feeling this selection of rants and raves may turn into a bit of a moanfest. I’m writing this after failing to make the Brooks #RunHappy team, again. Top tip, always read the small print and remember most brands are just interested in social media statistics. I should have realised I wasn’t what Brooks were looking for when I was screened out…
As 2019 has almost come to an end, I’ve decided to review my running highlights, lowest points and lessons learned throughout the year. If you don’t enjoy reading annual review posts – I personally find them interesting but know not everybody does – I’d recommend that you close the page and continue with your day. Here are the links to my reviews of 2016, 2017…
Good morning, I hope that everyone who reads this is having a great week. I’m feeling quite relaxed as the weekend is rapidly approaching. I can’t run at the moment which isn’t ideal but it does mean that I have a bit more time to update my blog. The True Cost of Running post I published earlier this year turned out to be pretty popular, so…
The last few years, my completely unsubtle Christmas Gifts for Runners (named Emma) posts have been quite successful. Last year, I found myself unwrapping parcels containing Lululemon gloves, a pair of AfterShokz Trekz Air headphones, a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS trainers, and a TK Maxx gift card. Although I swear it was summer five minutes ago, it’s now December! Black Friday has been and…
**Disclaimer: This latest selection of rants and raves may be slightly more moany than usual. I’m writing this after spending three hours trapped on a boiling hot train with some slightly interesting people. Hopefully, Wolves will cheer me up tonight. As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans represent my own views. Numerous other far less negative running blogs are available** Good morning…
I almost called this blog ‘I’ve got no running friends so I need all the help I can get’ but I didn’t want to sound too desperate. The PhD Runner has been nominated in the personal blog category. Thanks to the reader who took the time to nominate me, you know who you are! While I know that I have zero chance of ever making…
