Running Inverview! Not long ago, I have been interviewed by a local community magazine, who wanted to find out what prompted me to run. As the interview was published in Polish, here is the full text translated into English. The interview originally featured in the July edition of Magazyn Lokalny (www.magazynlokalny.co.uk) A few days ago you have taken part in a 50km race. How did […]
How To Train 10k! You’ve probably seen many programs on how to train 10k. Each runner has an individual approach and it is very likely that some of these programs will appeal and suit you, whilst others will not work. I take a slightly different approach. I prefer not to go with any running programs. How to train? 10k and other distances can be achieved […]
Scott Jurek! When the name of Scott Jurek comes up in the running community, the following come to mind: Born To Run, Western States 100 and possibly the best ultra runner of our time. Jurek made his name in the ultra running community long before Christopher McDougall made him a household name in his bestselling book. Winning the Western States 100 seven years in a […]
Park Runs UK! Today for the very first time I had a chance to be a marshall at a Park Runs UK event in South Oxhey. It was a very rewarding experience for me as I have never actually watched a running event from the perspective of a spectator, not to mention from a perspective of a marshall. It is great to watch as others […]
Taking Time Off From Running! I never thought it would ever come to this but I am actually taking time off from running! How could this be? I have been running for nearly 3 years now and have never taken time off from running. Yes, I have had a couple of days off. I have always considered 3 days off to be the maximum anyone […]
Rotating Running Shoes For Women! Actually, this article is not only with women in mind. Rotating running shoes for women and men alike plays a vital role. When I started out running, I managed to run in my first pair of running shoes for over a year. It was only until I had my first running injury that I decided to get a new pair […]
Emil Zátopek! To start of the series of Featured Runner of the Week, I chose to look back to a runner from recent history. It seems fitting to pick Emil Zátopek as he exemplified all the great qualities not only as a runner but as a human being! Adored by crowds and fellow competitors alike, Zátopek, with his very awkward technique accomplished what no other […]
Running Goals – Have You Set Yours? I’ve been running for some time now. Now and then, I set myself some sort of a goal. Sometimes I hit it, other times I don’t. Usually these are time goals set for a specific race. But I’ve never set myself specific short and long term goals related to my running. Alright, so I have started running to […]
50k in 30 Days! That’s right, I have 30 days to get ready for my 50km run. How have I been preparing for it? The truth is, very poorly. Yes, I have been running (although I have been actually running less in the past month), however, I am far from where I want to be. 30 days to 50k – how much of a difference […]
How To Get More Energy! “How to get more energy,” this was my initial thought. A thought that was born at an Anthony Robbins event. Why? Because after 5 hours of climbing an emotional high, I realised that I was physically drained. What’s worse, even though these 5 hours were semi active, you could hardly class it as a physical event. Have you come home […]
