GORE-TEX Transalpine Run 2010 — Route now 305kms!!!

On August 7, 2010, in Adventure, Races, Ultra marathon, by Tobias Mews

As if 296kms was far enough, the organ­is­ers of the 2010 GORE-TEX Transapline Run, have decided to increase the dis­tance to 305kms — but have very kindly dropped the alti­tude from 17,700m down to 13,500m! To be quite hon­est with you — I’m utterly relieved!! Climb­ing twice the height of Ever­est in a week was […]

On July 12, 2010, in Ultra marathon, by Tobias Mews

I just found this fas­ci­nat­ing arti­cle from the Times about adren­a­line junkies! It seems I’m not alone.  How­ever, Ain’t no moun­tain high enough: the rise of the chal­lenge junkies Super-fit ama­teurs are tack­ling ever more gru­elling feats for char­ity. But are they aim­ing too high? Carol Midg­ley What do you think these peo­ple are talk­ing about? […]

The Royal Norfolk Show 2010

On July 2, 2010, in Journalism, Video, by Tobias Mews

I’ve just com­pleted this film about the Royal Nor­folk Show.   I filmed and edited it within 24 hours — which con­sid­er­ing I had to travel 7 hours to Nor­wich and back, sleep and go on a long bike ride, I’m quite pleased with. I shot it on my JVC GY-HM100, although I started play­ing with the […]

On June 23, 2010, in Adventure, Running, Ultra marathon, by Tobias Mews

I have read about some truly amaz­ing feet’s of endurance and the 7 exam­ples below that are fea­tured on the web­site Elite Feet are pretty good ones.  I’m going to try and find a few more to add to these! Below are brief descrip­tions of some of the great­est accom­plish­ments in endurance run­ning. Even if you’ve […]

GORE-TEX Transalpine-Run 2010 — What I’m letting myself in for!

On June 23, 2010, in Adventure, Races, Running, Ultra marathon, by Tobias Mews

When choos­ing which races to enter each year, the deci­sion often rests on the “when?”, “how far?” and “how much?” ques­tions. How­ever, I hadn’t fac­tored on the “how high?” fac­tor. When I read that the GORE-TEX Transalpine-Run involved 17,700 meters of ascent over the course of almost 300 kms, I thought — “now there is […]

The London Marathon 2010

On April 29, 2010, in Races, Running, by Tobias Mews

The Lon­don Marathon is such an iconic race that it’s dif­fi­cult not to get excited about run­ning it.  I was for­tu­nate enough to gain entry through the Good for Age scheme thanks to run­ning a sub 3 hr race in the 2009 Paris Marathon.  Hav­ing been rejected by the bal­lot 3 or 4 times, I […]

On March 16, 2010, in Uncategorized, by Tobias Mews

Late last week I was sad­dened when I received an email from the founders of Bmychairty.com that they were unable to con­tinue with­out fund­ing.  So, it was with great delight that I read Help4Heroes have stepped in to sup­port Bmy­char­ity to con­tinue offer­ing 0% com­mis­sion to char­ity fund rais­ers. 3

Eddie Izzard to compete in Ironman UK 2010

On December 24, 2009, in Running, Triathlon, by Tobias Mews

When I read that Eddie Izzard — the funny chap that ran 43 con­sec­u­tive marathons over a 51 days in aid of Sport Relief — had signed up for the 2010 Iron­man in Bolton, I knew why.  He’s got the bug!  Any­one who does some­thing out of the ordi­nary, such as run­ning 43 con­sec­u­tive marathons would […]

On August 28, 2009, in Video, by Tobias Mews

The pur­pose behind this video was to demon­strate that there is a lot to do on your doorstep if you go out and find it!  I haven’t included much of the com­men­tary, because I wanted it to be a visual expe­ri­ence. Bal­ham on a Sat­ur­day morn­ing from Tobias Mews on Vimeo. 1
