I’m on the flight from Madrid over to Des Moines after racing the World Champs Series.
It didn’t go great to be honest, It was far from the result I was expecting.  I didn’t see the move and the race moved away before my very eyes! Quite frustrating really but major fault by me for not [...]

Had a good weekend in France.  Great weather, great racing and great company with Team Lagardere Paris Racing.
Picked up heaps of cool kit as usual.  I always feel very spoilt by the team, although the hotel always leaves something to be desired!

Race morning I was feeling good.  Woke up at 6:15 with excitement.  I trained [...]

I return trip from Korea went pretty smoothly and the most difficult trip of the year is forgotten! Don’t get me wrong I felt like crap when I arrived back from Asia hTe jet lag can be really tough, I’m not sure my body really knew where it was when I arrived back. I have [...]

I don’t like being the guy who turns up to a foreign country and never makes any sort of effort at all…

I asked the bus driver to our hotel what ‘Hi’ is in Korean.  He said something completely impossible to repeat! I gave up then, unfortunately I won’t be taking one Korean word back home!
It’s [...]

Our flights to Ireland were cancelled like all the other thousands of flights around Europe!  I feel for the people who are stranded abroad.  It sounds like fun but I bet they are spending a fortune and getting really stressed out about not being able to get back to their normal lives now!  Hope it [...]

I have given up on this Hoover, It’s not picking up the dog hair off the carpets.  It’s ok…it will pick up dirt off hard floors but struggles on carpets.
No one would buy it on facebook….so I thought I would give it away as a competition prize.
The winner of my Panasonic 2300W goes to the [...]

I just bought a new Canon 500D for myself.
I all of a sudden see myself of myself as some sort of Pro Photographer!

I should be able to bring you better photography from training, events and other stuff from around the world now!

I have been in Iceland for the past 3 days. Was nice to travel without a bike bag! Very refreshing!
I won the trip at a 10k that I did in Hyde Park.  My friend Clayton organised the event and the first prize was an all expenses payed trip to Iceland so Clare and I took [...]

1) Don’t go out too hard, and especially don’t finish the first lap ahead of Mo Farah, you should still feel fresh after half way and not like you are about to collapse!

2) Don’t do any sessions that are going to deplete you in the week before…maybe 10 days before!
3) Practice running on hills and [...]

Here are couple of great paintings Vanessa Raw is doing for Adidas/Lloyds bank.
Apparently she is the Official Olympic Artist and i think they are also going up for her Degree show.
Her Website is still being finished. I will put up the link later.
Can you guess who these people are? No points for my one…by the [...]

I raced the National Cross Country Champs at the weekend. (struggling a bit for photos but I found a few on FB)

I rocking in 23rd.  I was pretty happy with this. it’s a pretty solid result for me in the middle of my winter training and I finished with some big names in the sport. [...]

Personally i haven’t seen it looking that nice yet!

Girona is nice, really nice. Accommodation and food is really good which sort of partly makes the trip in my eyes. As long as it’s a nice interesting area and the suns out, I’m happy and we have that as well.
We are under an hours ride from the Pyrenees here so a lot of [...]

Great camp, got a lot out of it. Thanks to all the various training partners who went out who also helped make it a huge success.
Managed about 28 hrs a week, not loads but considering the amount of intensity, it certainly took its toll and I’m pretty tired today:) Going to absorb some of that [...]

Been in Lanza for 5 days.
Its been great, lovely temperature (for winter).  These Spanish don’t even know what winter is I don’t think!
Nothing special out here, just very consistent training, hitting the important sessions and taking it easy in the recovery.
Today we rode with Dave Mclean.  Don’t think I have ever ridden with someone so [...]

The day started terribly.
Wednesday morning swim, I hate Wednesday mornings. We swim at 6:00am and it sucks!  It falls right after my Tuesday run session and if I am tired at all when I swim…I can’t swim!

We then had to ride indoors at 10:30am to get away from the snow.  I rocked up, got set [...]
