Fed up of sponsoring 5km races?

I knew it wouldn't be long before the training plan went out the window.

Cue a call from Arum, the mate I met on my first mountain marathon with Nick.

"Andy, we're a man short..."

Very good cause, very long day. Please help: http://www.justgiving.com/walk100Kin30hours/

Closer than you think

It is tempting to blame house hunting as the key to less running this month - but that would be lying.

The prospect of a move out to Clevedon can but increase the number of miles passing under the feet. Not only is there the coastline to explore, there's the tricky aspect of still managing to get to work without the car...

Still, inspired by On Thin Ice on the telly, recent interviews with people who are going places such as Chris Wood and Jack Butland and simple winners like Norman Hunter, the prospect of running 13 miles to work, then home becomes ever more doable.

And it's a hop, skip and a jump to next Easter and a BG attempt. Isn't that right Ian? Nick?
