Preparing For An Ultramarathon Part 1
New post at The Running Bug, ‘Preparing For An Ultramarathon Part 1‘. Following a blog posting that I read by fellow Running Bug blogger, RunDeeMc (love the name!) I thought I would share some of what I have pieced together in terms of planning for an ultramarathon. Other than a real inclination to get out more
Runalyzer
I received the Runalyzer key, chest strap and armband from The Running Bug to review. Whilst I do have reservations on the life of the iPhone battery itself, the Runalyzer kit certainly does its job and, when combined with a good Runalyzer compatible app, provides some great information and stats from your runs. I will more
Hoka One One Mafate
Thanks to Steve from Hoka One One, I now have a pair of Hoka One One Mafate shoes to try out and I look forward to putting these through their paces.

Confessions of a treadmill lover
New post at The Running Bug, ‘Confessions of a treadmill lover‘. You just can’t beat getting out into the fresh air for a run, especially when you are fortunate enough to live so close to some cracking forest trails and to an old railway line that takes you right out into the countryside far from more
It sucks to be ill!
New post at The Running Bug, ‘It sucks to be ill‘. I am ill, and boy do I feel sorry for myself. Like a typical male, I don’t do illness well! Having spoken with the doctor, it would appear that I have had some kind of infection for at least the past month which, at least, more
