Nike's 29.02.12 Run
What an awesome night! I need to grab pics off everyone else though, my phone died whilst I was at home.
Today just got better and better really. We hit 1948, picked up our Leap Day T’s and Bibs before heading out of base to rock up on the London eye and announce our presence! I love my crew so much. We had some new people down today so welcome to them too!
Rather than go in groups based...

Nike+ Fuelband
So I’ve got the Nike+ Fuelband. Time to see what it’s really about right?
On the night that I got it, I had no real idea what was going on, all I knew was that I had earned some fuel on a run. Things changed once I got in though. I’ve always been on the fence about the Nike+ Fuelband. I said that it can either be one of the greatest things Nike do or one of the worst. Early...

Nike+ Fuelband (Lucky Boy)
When I walked into Run Dem on Tuesday I couldn’t have expected what was really about to happen.
I was running very late, I didn’t leave work until around 18:10 (and I usually make it to Run Dem at 18:30!) I’ll be honest, I even contemplated not going. I was feeling run down and overworked, training finally catching up on me perhaps, I let sad thoughts take over for a more...

Phase 2
You know when it just goes up a notch and you have to keep on running more than half marathons every Sunday? It takes me back to half marathon training oddly enough. When I hit 10 and 11 mile long runs I felt like I was on top of the world. I’ve now done a 17 mile run followed by something like a 19 mile run the week after. I’m waiting for that peak moment now. I know it’s due...

: Love Dem Crew Valentines Day Run →
rundemcrew2:
Love was in the air as Run Dem Crew took to the streets and made their way towards Eros and Piccadilly Circus. Big ups to Candice for braving the Baby Cheetahs and all of the pacers, back markers and navigators who helped make the run such a great event. One thousand Run Dem claps to Kate…

Hill Training
Is effin hard! OK now that’s out of the way, lets continue. I was feeling really good a couple of weeks ago and that is probably what lead to my downfall. In my quest for my first marathon to be my best race to date, I had to team up with the Incline Accelerators on an extremely cold Saturday morning.
Lets get back to the reason why I was feeling good though, every 3 weeks in my...

sharondt replied to your post: A quick summary of the last couple of weeks
Gotta love those hills (its worth it in the end). I’ve no idea what a Spartan session is but it sounds hard - well done. I have also run 17 miles recently again, well done!
Check out Chaka Bars’ tumblr for more info on a Spartan session! I’ll post it about it tomorrow, if you’re in the area, you should...

London Tumblr Meet Up?
lifebylou:
Sonjaruns is heading to London at the end of Feb and it would be great if we could arrange another Tumblr meet up while she is here!
Friday 2nd March is probably the best date (although Thurs 1st is another option) and possibly the same pub as before in Baker St as it is easy to get to from most places?
Please let me know if you can make it and then we can start to spread the...
6 Of The Best Training Tips With Simon Freeman
rundemcrew2:
If I hadn’t met Simon Freeman there would probably be no Run Dem Crew or at least not in the guise it is now. A 2.40 marathon runner his story is a great illustration of what the every day man or woman can achieve with some hard work and dedication. Simon is our man in the know when it’s time to find out what it takes to take our running to the next level and he’s kindly shared...
Make It Count With Candice Brown
rundemcrew2:
If you want to know what Run Dem really is about then you best speak to Candice Brown. Life and soul of the party Candice has been down with the crew since day dot and I’ve seen her go from a run hating younger to a marathon veteran over a few short years. With every step she takes towards her goals she makes me proud.
Support Candice and donate to the cause here

How Often...
…Do you feel alive?
Like really alive, you look around. Where you take everything in and just be.
Every time I lace up and hit the road I get that feeling. It’s the only time I’m in total control and I love it. Running keeps me going, it makes me feel alive.
So that’s me, I’m Nathaniel. And I run, what about you?

Turning That Switch "On"
There comes a time in some of our lives where we make a decision to change the way we live our life. Obviously for me with Run Dem Crew and tumblr I see more and more people all the time that have made this decision. How does it happen though? Is it a natural reaction to fix our imperfections that we see in the mirror? I’ll be honest, I don’t know what it is. I just know that it...
