The Coterie of Zombies (Free subscription) | yesterday
This has to be one of the sillier events on the annual running calendar. Yesterday, along with about 2,250 other silly people, I went to Battersea Park to dress up as Santa and then run around the park a couple of times. Ostensibly, it's all in the name of charity, but really it's a self-serving part of my training for the London Marathon next year. There's something beautifully surreal about it,...

Beijing Olympic bronze medallist Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia bettered his personal best time to win the Fukuoka international men's marathon for a second year running on Sunday. The 22-year-old Kebede left the last challenger and compatriot, Dereje Tesfaye, at around the 33-kilometre mark and made a long solo running to cross the finishing line in two hours five minutes 18 seconds. "I was able...

Yesterday (04/12) was day 39 in my ultramarathon training plan and was a 22mile run. I was nervous and looking forward to this in equal measure. I have been knocking out decent tempo runs lately and feeling great and strong up to and around 12miles. This was a very different proposition and was the longest run i have done in more than 10 years (i ran the Flora London Marathon in 1997). So 22miles,...

I am planning on sitting in front of the telly tonight drinking wine, and because that isn’t very conducive to getting up early and going for a run the next day, I thought I’d go for a run today instead. When I got up, however, I didn’t feel like it but decided to force myself [...] Related posts: Juneathon Day #4 and City of London Race for Life sober update City of London Race for...

A reader sent me this quote from Adam Trimble after reading Tuesday’s update on my ankle injury: It is very difficult to train for a marathon; but it is even more difficult to not be able to train for a marathon. I don’t know who Adam Trimble is but he feels my pain. Looking forward to [...] Related posts: Our friend, Stu, in the London Marathon! Speaking of running, a belated congrats...

A while back I used to write some topical material for radio stations. So, it's way out of date now, but I think it's interesting to have a look back. This is what was in the news back then. (This was entertainment news section) Kylie's American record label is hosting a competition to find the singer's sexiest photo. Sadly her sexiest photo is one she's got of someone else. Radiohead drummer Phil...

This year's annual competition was a great success, showing a total of 12 films. The disruption to our calendar this year meant we had skipped many of the normal events for club competitions so we lumped all into the same evening...basically anything goes. Here's the list.. London Marathon as run by "SPANA" - Kevin Britain's Newest Railway - Venner A New Era - Trio Films (Roy & Ted) Watts...

I had some exciting news yesterday: I won a prize in Friday’s raffle for Children in Need! And the prize was… a signed photograph of Simon Cowell! When Jane Scott presented this to me with all due pomp I was reminded of the High Court Judge in the 1960s who was reported to have said in court, ‘and who, pray, are the Beatles'’, as I’ve never seen Simon Cowell myself. But...

For the past 18 months, other than when I have been injured (which is actually a big chunk of it!) I have been training in the morning. When I am not training, I struggle to answer my own question of how I fit it in as the time seems to go just as quickly without training. Yesterday morning I planned another "longest run since the London Marathon" of around 19 miles. I had to be in Port Soderick...

Actress Hannah Waterman is the latest to join the fitness DVD bandwagon, after shedding two and a half stone and five dress sizes on a strict diet and exercise plan. She says: 'I hope my new fitness DVD Body Blitz shows people what I’ve learnt through my trainers. It’s hardcore, not a dancing-around-your-handbag routine! It’s about healthiness, not weight.' She says: 'Smoking’s definitely aged my skin....
