Great fun as always pacing the @shrewsburyhalf (metric). Perfect end to a hard training block for the @abingdonmarathon in 3 weeks.

3 x 100 plus weeks (101,113 and 117) and 840 miles over the last 10 weeks. Time to wind in back, and look to get the spring back in my step for race day.

Lets see what the 18th October brings...

P.s. the medal is amazing

A great few days in Wales. Plenty of hills to keep me busy, with a trip to our childhood holiday location (Borth) included, dolphin watching, a parkrun, time on the beach and some great family time.

Now back to normality and a busy week in work before a nice long weekend before the kids go back to school.

Project Abingdon marathon is coming together nicely, but where will marathon number 51 be....

Thumbs up if your @runthroughuk Half Marathon went well on Sunday? Great to be back in the 1hr 15 bracket, as my training picks up as i build towards the @abingdonmarathon in October.

Now time to get some hills in as we spend some time chilling out on the Welsh Coast.

Great first 24 hours at @ivorytreegamelodge. 3 of the big 5 chalked off, and lots more opportunities to bag all five.

Cape Town, you were a blast—time to move on to a new location and new adventures.

Penguins, Table Mountain, Botanical Gardens, Bo-Kaap, copious amounts of food and milkshakes, plus a marathon for good measure.

Let's see what Johannesburg brings, and our safari!

P.s.s kids say they prefer Gran Canaria :/

Broken but not beaten!!

Well, @capetownmarathon, you well and truly humbled me today!

From the start, I knew it was going to be a hard day at the office, but I didn't expect it to be so hard.

The heat and the constant rolling inclines for the first 21 miles devoured me and spat me out at the finish line.

However, another comfortable sub-3 performance and having my amazing cheerleaders with me made it so much fun.

Time for a glass of wine, before the adventures continue.

I often get asked if I do like a beer as I go around my marathons.

Well, @caught_inn_motion captured my beer just before Big Ben perfectly.

If only I was about for the @badboyrunningpodcast @badboyrunningclub beersthon this year

Who doesn't love a jog around the capital!

@londonmarathon was all about having fun, lots of flying aeroplane arms, 2 1/2 🍻, and an apology to anyone using the toilet after me at mile 15, then finishing with a runner who needed company to the finish line.

Now, a couple of weeks of gentle 5ks a day before a normal week, then @capetownmarathon

What started with hope for the @manchestermarathon quickly turned into an oh no, I'm going to quick, into a I'm definitely going to quick, into suck it up, buttercup, and noe its time to dig deep and get into the pain cave.

What should have been a comfortable 2.40 ended up going through halfway in 1:18. (90 secs to fast). This led to the wheels coming off at mile 20 (remember, the race starts at 20), and a long, hard run for home.

Normally, I would have let it slip away and ended up really disappointed, but I was delighted with the way I gritted it out and finished with a 400m dash home to dip under 2hrs 40.

Time to rest up before the @londonmarathon next weekend, which will be a great social run and then @capetownmarathon at the end of May.

Thanks to @bexwigfield88 for the videos and the shout out, it was very much appreciated as it hit the wall.

Today marks 3000 days of running at least 5k a day. Over 23,000 miles completed, with many adventures in many countries, with so many memories made.

From Gisborne, New Zealand, on day one, to the highest point in Borneo.

From running around Dubai Airport whilst waiting for a connecting flight, to countless loops of Great Bear in Desborough.

Races as part of the Asia Pacific Masters Games, to the New York Marathon, running my local parkrun through to running the beautiful Dunedin parkrun.

The next few months include hundreds of miles around Desborough, as well as the joys of Manchester, London, and the Cape Town marathon, all in a 5-week window.

What will the next 3000 days bring?

8th place finish, strong, consistent run, and a solid 1hr 17min @runthroughuk Kettering Half Marathon.

This was always going to be a 'long run' rather than a race, so I has happy enough to settle into a comfortable sub 6 pace for the Half Marathon as I explored the local roads.

3 more weeks of 80ish mile weeks before a wind down to @manchestermarathon and @londonmarathon in April.

Perfect prep for tomorrow's 23 mile run with a cheeky @runthroughuk Kettering Half marathon thrown in for good luck.

5 miles warm up, 4.5 miles just under marathon then 13.1 at hopefully marathon pace of around 6.05ish pace before a nice cool beer at @wicksteedpark.

Thanks to @luckychucks76 for the 20" pizza full of carbs, definitely worth a visit for some food and entertainment and good to see @ketteringtowncouncil supporting the event.
