2018 was a blast!
2018 has been an awesome year! I love to take the time to review my achievements and I would recommend it to you as well. We work so hard all year trying to achieve various goals so having some reflection is good for the soul!
The year started with London Marathon training which kicked off on Jan 1st and went on for 17 weeks. On reflection my training could have gone better and I should have trained harder. I made some mistakes like not enough strength work for example, and

Scorchio!
Wow so summer is totally here! Blimey it’s hot! This summer looks set to be totally awesome! Although the heat is a killer for all us runners I do love running this time of year.
My favourite run of the week is most defiantly my early long run on a Sunday when I am up with the birds and just before it really starts warming up. There is nothing more amazing than running along the River Lea just as the sun is coming up. I am so lucky where I live that I have these amazing pat

A Humbling Experience!
Hey everyone I hope you all enjoyed the cracking Bank Holiday weather! It is exciting times at Fordy Runs with the summer events about to kick off in two weeks with the Hackney Half! It is going to be a very busy summer!
If you haven’t yet had the chance to get over to Facebook and join the Fordy Runs Group please do. I go to most of my races alone and I am randomly picking on people to talk to at the start line so I thought to myself wouldn’t it be cool if there was a plac

Getting Ready for the London Marathon!
The London Marathon is fast approaching and it is time to get myself organised! Now if you guys have never run a big event you must make sure you get all your stuff sorted well before the actual race day.
With a big event like London I really took the time this year to get myself straight nice and early. I wanted to share with you what I will be taking in my Race Bag to the start area (which will then get chucked on a truck!) and also for anyone who is staying over in Londo

March Madness!
Hey everyone!
After the chaos of the Beast from the East I was hoping for a ‘normal’ month especially with London Marathon training getting serious! Problem was I picked up an injury/niggle from the Big Half. I had some serious Achilles/Calf pain post run but luckily I had a physio appointment already booked for the Monday after the Big Half just as a checkup/tune up for the Knee injury I have been nursing since October.
I gotta say on here I think my physio is a witch! D

FEB 2018 UPDATE
Getting proper stuck into the Marathon training which is going well. Been concentrating on raising my sponsorship target with the help of my family who have been epic in getting people to support my charity the Leonard Cheshire Disability who I am running this year’s Virgin Money London Marathon for. With the help of my wife and Nicole @ Mayhem Theatre Arts we put on a Daddy & Daughter Dance at Mayhem’s GO Hub and raised nearly £300! That went towards me hitting my sponsorshi

New Year New BLOG!
Hey guys welcome to my BLOG. 2018 is going to be an epic year with loads of races planned and booked but most importantly I have the big one coming up on April 22nd THE LONDON MARATHON. It’s been a burning ambition since I got back into this running lark to strap up and run the most famous (some may disagree) Marathon in the world! Training started earlier as I was nursing an injury in my knee bought on by some uneven council pavement skills! So I cracked on early and have be
