The last time that I updated this part of my blog was two years ago! Shocking I know, so much has happened since then but I’m happy to read through and see that the reason I run has still stayed true to my original thoughts. I run for the feeling it gives me. I don’t run so I can look good or show off I just run so I can better myself and the life that I live. A lot has happened over the last few years but I’m still here running strong.
I remember when I took my first steps in Victoria park, I was so happy to finally be doing something with myself and not just sitting around waiting for the world to keep on spinning without me. A couple years on now and I’ve got medals and plenty of memories to lay back on with a smile on my face.
So thank you, running.
I do not apologise for the horrific picture above. That’s the only picture I have of myself when I was topless and on fat, I deleted others. I weighed around 15 stone and 10 pounds there.
Wear appropriate training gear. Drinks will be provided.
Wear swooshes you will be in pictures. Wear stripes and you won’t.
Nether the less the spartanfam welcomes you to come on down and train to the sound system.
Chakabars, Coupe, Jae, Jamie, Liam, and Sima will be instructing you.
Join the fam.
See you there.

This is where I’ll be today! Spartan training it up with the Family. Come along, it’s free and all abilities are welcome! Families can come to the spartan babies session too :)
For one of the few times I saw this songs video (albeit not official) before I heard it! I have no qualms about that though. va$htie put together this video to pay homage to this track and I think it’s wonderful. Sick back and enjoy, my favourite Lyric is from Kanye at 01:49 on the track, ‘How many people almost famous // you almost remember what they name is’
Artist: Lupe Fiasco feat. Kanye West & Pharrell | Track: Us Placers | Mixtape: Follow The Leader*
Thanks again to everyone that turned out on Wednesday. We’re a new running crew so it’s always nice to have faces down for the cause. After a gentle run on the hot summers day along Regents Canal and into Victoria park we headed back to base for a warm down.
Some people were still feeling great so we got out some Sparq toys for them.
This bad boy shows you what life is like! The harder you run, the harder it resists. Keep on pushing and eventually it eases up though. See more after the jump to see how the crew got on with the Sparq Parachutes!
This was the first time I’ve ran for more than 20 minutes straight since running the marathon last month. It felt good to finally do it, I fear that if I didn’t I probably would’ve been in this physical funk for longer. I’m getting back though. Now it’s time to enjoy this sunshine by drinking…water! ;)
Running is one of the few times that I can really clear my head and I’m grateful for that. Projects are coming in thick and fast but it’s nice to be away from it all, even if it’s just for 40 minutes. The British 10K is going to get smashed!
Here you will find the ramblings of a runner. I've changed my lifestyle, I wanted to be a healthier, fitter person and now that's what I am! You can do it too.
I'm here to help and motivate you to get running! It's never too late to start running.
I'm a young man that's trying to be the best that I can be and seeing what happens afterwards. So far it's taken me across Europe to run races and even finish the Virgin London Marathon, there's more to come though, stay tuned!
