Running Home for Christmas – Join Me On My Next Challenge

Every morning I go for a run around the fields with Brew Dog. It’s a chance to watch stunning sunrises and take 30-40 minutes of wonderful headspace, setting me up for the new day.

‘Do you want to come and run across Iceland?!’

‘Yes!’ I didn’t even hesitate when I was asked if I wanted to join some friends in running across Iceland. Whenever a new challenge is put to me I usually agree before thinking about it. Perhaps this time the mulled wine I had been drinking also helped to egg me on! This really was a…

Beachy Head Marathon – Healing A Break

This post was going to be purely about the Beachy Head Marathon. As I sat down to write it I realised it needed to be about something more. It needed to be about strength and weakness. Realising your strengths and accepting your weaknesses. When I took a fall just a few weeks before the marathon…

Seeing The Wood For The Trees

You are slipping Lambert. You are not being everything you can be. You are not pushing, you are coasting. You’re allowed to do that for a while but time is up now. You need to push harder, reach further and achieve goals which make you feel good. You need to commit. Be strong. Dig deep…

Hash Running with the Hash House Harriers

Hash Running; sounds a bit suspicious doesn’t it?! What if I told you we also follow a trail of white powder, have strange nicknames and rely on a Religious Adviser to control the weather!
