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 […]

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 […]
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
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 […]
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
