If you haven’t already started making plans and setting goals for 2017 now is the time to start doing so.
I’ve been toying with some ideas for the last 6 months. I seem to have a pretty good plan in place in both business and sporting activities.
When it comes to goal setting it is important to […]
Last May I was part of a group of 50 people that took part in a fire walk for charity.
The training prior to us walking across hot coals lasted for an hour and the walk was over after about 1 minute.
In the middle of the training session I was asked about my Comfort Zone. I […]
I thought I could combine the busiest working week of the year with the most amount of miles I’ve run in one week and hit the 900 mile mark for the year.
It was nice to be so enthusiastic but in reality it was probably never going to happen.

So that’s the first fortnight of the year out of the way!
My 2,016 miles in 2,016 is starting to take shape. I passed the 100km mark today.
This week I focused on finding some new running routes. Running the same route 366 times would test the toughest people.
I revisited some of my old routes. I couldn’t […]
