It is well known that diet plays a crucial role in sports performance so over the last few weeks I have been seeing a sports nutritionist to help get the most out of my training. My good mate, and fellow runner, Ryan Jackson is qualified with a Masters in...
Wow, what a day! I'd never won a really big race and I think winning the City2Surf, a race with 85,000 entrants, may just about usurp my Berlin 10k win dressed as a stormtrooper. Just about. I knew I had as good a chance of winning this race as...

Everybody likes to run faster. Both Collis Birmingham and I had a different lead in into this race and it obviously didn't...
Last time I blogged I had just finished my season and was enjoying some down time which consisted of a fair bit of binge eating, sleeping and surfing.
I am writing this as I travel home from the Gold coast Marathon and as the title suggest I am well into...
