the first supper
The full road crew for #HAA2015 was confirmed tonight, as Ben Sutton joins his good friend Ols Nicholls as a fully signed up crazy person…. It is an absolute pleasure to have both Ben and Ols on the team, they have known each other since high school, and I imagine this will be the biggest test of…
no more mr fat guy
At the end of December 2011, I was obese, I smoked, I didn’t exercise, I ate all the wrong things, I laughed at people running, I used all the usual excuses under the sun (e.g. “you have to die of something, may as well enjoy it while you can”) and deep down, I was unhappy,…
how this all came about
I blame Facebook. I blame Facebook for a LOT of things, but in this instance I specifically blame Facebook for the very fact that I am committed to running and walking about 5400km in a couple of months from now… It is Facebook’s fault for 3 key reasons… 1. Planting a Seed There is an…

the week the music died (temporarily)
it may surprise some of you to know, I am not perfect, I do need sleep, and I am NOT a machine. last weekend, I completed 60km of walking on the Friday, 5km of running on the Saturday, and half marathon run plus 14km walk on the Sunday, to take the total for 3 days…

HAA VLOG: Hardest thing today was getting up and out there. Was really glad I did though. Let us know what you think of the video – this one’s had a bit of a makeover from Run Forest Run to make it a little more interesting 🙂 http://youtu.be/jmqbORVxokc #HAA2015 #NMMFG HAA V-Log 19 Feb 2014.…

They say that every picture tells a story, well what THIS picture says to me is… Over a period of 4 months, I will be covering (on foot) the same distance as if I were to go from Portugal to Bosnia, down through Greece and Turkey, cut across Ukraine and finish on the western edges…
