Simon Ward • Improving Marathon Runner & Community Pacer

Chasing snacks and PBs (aka Peanut Butter) 🐿️

Great collab with @pipandnut and @tracksmithrunning at the weekend with the team bringing bars and peanut butter lattes. Squirrel ears optional.

Pip & Nut are such a strong example when it comes to how brands build genuine equity in the running space. They haven’t just shown up and elbowed their way in. Actually, they’ve done the opposite. They’ve put the graft in over many, many years. Time + effort might be the longer path (and the harder one), but it’s the right call. As more and more brands try to work out how they can fit into running, especially next year with the double London Marathon, take a leaf out of their book.

It’s also a great product, which helps 🤤

Was a big mileage day for me on Sunday. 14km at MP (probably not my Sydney MP when I hit those hills) followed by 20km pacing. Have been using my run to the Trackhouse to try speed from the start, rather than using it as a warm up. “More MP” was one of my Sevilla takeaways, so interested to see if it helps come August.

Failing that, more iced lattes 😆
