I’ve got three races to go until I’m off to the Chicago Marathon in October. The Bristol Half Marathon, Robin Hood Marathon and the Great North Run will all be very important performance indicators ahead of my race in the USA which follows.
I’ve just been down in Poole training with Liz Yelling and put in [...]

This summer has been all about the training so far, I ran a few big races early on in the year and have a some major ones coming up in September, culminating in the Chicago Marathon in October – in fact, I’m currently in my 10-week training cylce for that very race. So I have [...]

Only two years until London 2012 and I can’t wait. My training is going really well and it will be a dream come true if I can compete in front of a home crowd in two years time.
All the activity and big sporting names in London over the last few days only gives a tiny [...]

I’ve just come back from New York where I ran the Achilles Hope and Possibility 5 mile run. The event took place in Central Park and I was in impressive company as I was lucky enough to meet Prince Harry who was running too.
The race brings together athletes with disabilities and able-bodied athletes in a [...]

The BT Paralympic World Cup in Manchester was great. I ran the 400m on the Tuesday and came fourth! Not bad for a Marathon runner!

In the following days I did lots of media interviews and got to explore a little bit. But come Sunday, it was [...]

This Sunday is my first full marathon of 2010, and I can’t wait!
Having broken the Half Marathon World Record twice this year, already my expectations for the race in Rotterdam this weekend are pretty high. The crowds for the race are normally really big and I’m hoping the support they give will spur me on [...]

I’m pleased to announce that I broke my own Half Marathon World Record at the weekend at the event in Reading. I ran a time of 1:14:59, shaving two minutes off my previous best. To say i’m delighted in an understatement!!
What better way to start a busy few weeks off than with a world record! It [...]

On February 28th, I ran my second half marathon of the year and, given the atrocious weather conditions, I was very pleased to finish in the top 40.
Race day itself was a great occasion with about 4,500 runners and many more supporters cheering us all on. The actual race was started by non-other than UK [...]
