Well I raced for the first time in what seems like ages today at the Battersea’s Half Marathon arranged through

A really well organised event from start to finish, 8.75 laps of the park for the half but the 10k is only 4 and would be pancake flat.

I managed to drag my old bones around in a PB time - so very happy with that result - not quite the target time but a PB is a PB and the focus is currently

Would recommend travelling to this one if you are hunting a good time 👍

“I’m dented, not broken.”

A marathon runner said this to me recently and it stuck.

Because marathon training doesn’t leave you perfectly polished — it leaves you tested. Long runs, tired legs, missed sessions, niggles, self-doubt. That’s not failure. That’s evidence you’re doing the work.

Being dented means you’ve been under load.
Being broken would mean you stopped adapting.

Stronger Fitter Faster isn’t about chasing perfection — it’s about building durability. Strength, resilience, and confidence so you can handle the dents and keep moving forward.

You’re not broken. You’re in progress.

Interval training, the cornerstone of improving fitness.

You have to disrupt your body to imitate change, interval training achieves that.

Want to become faster, improve varied intervals at least once a week.

Coach’s takeaway 👇

This is what real progress looks like.

An easy run that keeps drifting too fast.
Hills that barely register anymore.
And at a controlled, comfortable pace… times that beat old “hard effort” runs on the same route.

Fitness isn’t built by forcing pace every day.

It’s built by consistently showing up, running easy when it should be easy, and letting adaptation do the work.

If your easy runs are getting easier — you’re getting fitter.

Trust the process. It’s working. 🏃‍♂️

And a massive thanks to for this photo 😊

A busy morning, starting with Pilates with the amazing who makes sure everything is fine and in-line.

Then off to track with to complete a 10 x 400m session at faster than 5k pace - tough work.

The reward was brunch, avocado & scrambled egg on toast - lush 😁

Dancing at Verve next and then just a matter of 16 miles tomorrow to round off the weekend 👍
