Improve Your Speed & Agility For All Sports
Virtual reality projections of natural environments, sounds and scents would vastly improve the indoor running experience – and have a positive impact on our wellbeing too
With the freeze of winter just arriving, many runners are struggling with the icy cold and the darkness. They dig in nonetheless, racking up what miles they can bear in the few hours of light they have. For many, the alternative seems even less attractive.
This year is the bicentenary of the treadmi…

Thanks for the feedback on last week’s vlog, here and on Facebook. Even if you just took the time to watch it, thank you.
This week I’m talking about changing one small thing in your week. Let me know what you’re going to change this week.

Ultra-running is one of the fastest growing sports, usually taking place in remote, scenic landscapes. Not a running track in London. Will competitors reach nirvana?
‘I hallucinated, of course. I always do,” Pat Seabrook says. She is 76 and has spent the past 24 hours running round a 400m athletics track in Tooting, south London. She sits in the front seat of her car, peeling plasters off her toes. “At some point I began to think the white lines on the track were ropes…

Running muddy miles or pounding the clean pavements? As always, come and share your weekend triumphs and woes below the line
Somehow, through either bad or excellent planning, depending on your point of view, I have managed to avoid any cross country races until this weekend. Then, like buses, they all arrive at once: Saturday just gone was the Surrey XC Champs, and next Saturday is the Surrey league. To add insult to injury, both take place in Lloyd Park. I’m sure I will …
When did it come to this? When did I become the man who wore running tights?
I was out running the other morning, the usual steady pace, gulping down the frosty air, when it dawned on me that I was wearing running tights. You know, the ultra-tight compression ones. The ones with antimicrobial technology and go-faster stripes. The I-take-my-running-seriously ones. Yes, those ones.
When did it come to this? When did I become the man who wore Lycra leggings? Leggings that…

Advent streaks, Christmas runs, New Year’s resolutions … come and tell me all about your running over the festive period
Happy new year everyone! So how was your festive running? As always when ‘back to school’ mode hits, it’s now all a bit of a blur, but highlights for me included the annual Christmas day run with my other half, and a parkrun double on New Year’s Day. Well, I say that was a highlight … more of a hideously extended attempt to sweat out a hangov…

This morning, instead of writing a blog I recorded a quick video and shared it on Facebook page. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and though the feeling might be something other could relate to.
This is the first time I’ve recorded a blog like this. It was very spur of the moment, no make-up, about to head out for a run.

Just like that, Christmas was over and it was New Year. December was a busy month for me, I had a lot of training plans to write ready for runners to start training in January and although I spent a lot of time staring at the calendar, January has crept up on me a bit.
There’s a few races in my diary that I’m excited about doing this year. So far there’s no marathons on the list. If last year is anything to go by (I started the year training for a 50-miler…
Long time EM Athletes Fale Aviu, Brit Finney, Shay Knighten and Sydney Romero got an experience of a lifetime winning the 2015 Womens College World Series!

After traveling the world competing this summer, which included playing in front of 31,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome in one of their two trips to Japan, USA also took a trip to Canada where they came back with a Gold, and a few stints in OKC. The 2016 USA National Team, now called the 2016 USA Olympic Softball Team looks toward 2020 and the first of many Olympics for a new generation of talented players.
