Sorry for the delay guys, I flew straight to Ireland after the race and have just returned home this morning. The race in Berlin was on saturday night and to be honest didnt go as well as I would have liked, but was a great event to be part of. The race was held at 8.30 in the evening and as a .. Read More

Well where do I start with this race? The AAA 10km is usually the race in my season that everything is geared towards. The race where preparation starts weeks before hand, and the races leading up to it are there for the sole purpose of getting me ready to roll. This years race was different. I was .. Read More

Well where do I start.  A rollercoaster of emotions to be honest. Right after the race I was completely gutted, the wind has wrecked what should have been a massive PB, but then I put it all into context. I had run 7km toe to toe with a guy who has just ran 27.57 for 10km on the track, made the .. Read More

National Road relays. Every year the race has different dramas, great runs and defining moments- this year was no exception. I think the gold medal was already pretty much sorted before the race had started-- those belgrave swines had managed to put together a fantastic team, and evidently one that .. Read More

So I just got back from Sutton Park and thought I would get my blog report up early... before I go for a curry with the lads to celebrate our victory. It was a great team effort today and we walked away with the win- the first time we have won the midlands since 2003- so the lads are really happy- W .. Read More

Ive always been a believer of the saying "you never stop learning" and trust me.. I learnt a lot from this race. The time we spent out in Jordan was good, and although a few things didnt suit me, the trip has had a massive affect on me. Working full time im always on the go. Most days for me are no ..

Firstly, to start this month I wanted to welcome Andrea to the site. I believe this is the start of "girls runnerslife", although im sure with some of the stuff the lads discuss on here, we have already touched on many girly subjects..lol. So this is it,the start of the winter. The weather is alrea .. Read More

Hey all. Mega apologies for the absence of blogs last week. Ive just got back from a great week in Ibiza where the annual summer holiday went down a treat. You will be pleased to know the tan is great, 87% coverage, with maximum white bits. (figured I would get a tan comment in there before someone .. Read More

As i'm writing this the England defence is leaking like a rusty bucket. It would seem that selling Gareth Barry is the best pay day villa could have hoped for!! It always amazes me how pro footballers can claim to be lacking fitness? What else do they do with their time? I reckon a few more wolves p .. Read More

So this is it, my 2009 track season has come to an end, and what a disappointing one it was too. I got this season all wrong, and it will probably go down as one of my worst. I think the reason behind this was down to poor planning. Ive always said if you fail to prepare you should prepare to fail a .. Read More

This time of year is always weird as an athlete. Some people race right through on the track till september, some people have a break early and get ready for the roads, and some people like me just aint got a bloody clue what to do!! Ive spent the last week doing bits and pieces, throwing in the odd .. Read More

Welcome back to all runnerslife readers and fans. I never thought we would be up and running again, and to be honest I thought the site would be down forever. Luckily through hard work and effort from simon and the guys, the site is back in action. Lets hope you guys continue to support it and keep .. Read More

  Just under ten years ago, as a 16 year old lad I had a big decision to make. At that time was juggling a fairly promising career in football with the athletics, and both were going really well. I was playing county level footie at the time, was offered a place at the Everton academy and it .. Read More

When i first started out in the sport i was told to be prepared for ups and downs. Let me tell you- I have never been or felt as low as I do now. Im at rock bottom after yesterday and so deflated. Going into the race I felt okay, bit sluggish but still ready to run hard. The weather was fine, nothi .. Read More
