Loch Ness Marathon

September 28, 2018September 28, 2018 Teacups & Trainers1 Comment

I wasn’t going to write a post about the Loch Ness Marathon but I really want to remember every detail I possibly can, so here we are. Training had gone reasonably well.

Why I use a running coach

April 6, 2018April 6, 2018 Teacups & Trainers1 Comment

I’m a pretty average runner. It’s not my job. I don’t win races (actually, I did win one once, but it’s certainly not a regular occurrence). I’m not setting the running world alight with my times.

I was a little worried about marathon training as I assumed it would undo all of the hard… Continue reading How marathon training changed my body.

May 4, 2017 Teacups & Trainers3 Comments

There is a London Marathon post coming, I promise. I know the two of you who have asked about it are keen to read it. My account of the race is being published in runABC (available nationwide. Plug plug.) so I’ll be posting a follow-up blog post about my thoughts and feelings of the day… Continue reading My running self-esteem
