Yoga for Runners: Position 19 - Supta Vajrasana

By Kerry McCarthy on in Health

This may look like a bendy person just lying down – and I suppose that's what it is – but manoeuvring yourself into Supta Vajrasana pose (or Fixed Firm Pose) is a lot easier said than done. It’s unlikely that, unless you’re extremely flexible, you’ll be able to pull this ...

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

110% Men's Juggler Knickers (£110.00) Ignore the wacky name – these 3/4 length pants are a serious bit of kit. Available in both men's and women's options, these tights provide compression- and ice-recovery in one garment. Graduated compression in the tights promotes quicker blood flow back to the heart, which in turn ...

By James Fricker on in Training
There’s only a month to go before the race – but will Team RW's Marathon des Sables challenger be ready in time?

After a tricky last couple of weeks, battling a few niggles and sitting on my arse, I’m back running. Following on from the Endurancelife Coastal Trail Series in Devon, I had a low-key week as planned with a few short runs and a longer run at the weekend. I started the ...

Yoga for Runners: Position 18 - Dhanurasana

By Alexandra Rees on in Health

Dhanurasana in English means 'floor bow', a name which lends itself to the cliche of yoga being about tying yourself in to knots in the name of exercise. Though of course by now you know that's not true! Dhanurasana marks the end of the spine-stretching and strengthening section of the floor ...

Gear Pick of the Week: X-Tenex Laces

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

X-Tenex Laces (£9.00) Kerry says: This week's Gear Pick is a great budget-friendly pre-payday treat. They may look simple (and colourful) but these inexpensive elastic knotted laces could transform your running. Simply lace up the trainers and use the knots to adjust the tension between each set of eyelets. They don't ...

MdS Training Blog: Mental Focus

By James Fricker on in Training
This week, things get tough for Team RW's Marathon des Sables challenger as he hits the Devon trails.

This weekend marked my first attempt at an ultra. I thought I’d chosen wisely - a coastal trail series in Devon sounds idyllic, and I had pictured waves crashing against rock faces as I bounded over 35 miles of beautiful trails in the mild February sun. How wrong (and unprepared) ...

Gear Pick of the Week: ASICS Gel Kayano 18

By Kerry McCarthy on in Gear

ASICS Gel Kayano 18 (£133) Kerry says: Any shoe that has 18 versions must be doing something right, and such is the case with the Kayano. This titan of the mild-moderate stability category lost some ground with the previous two versions, which had various issues with durability and comfort. The Kayano ...

By Dominique Brady on in News

Does the 'Olympic spirit' still exist, or has it been swallowed up by commercialisation? I was delighted to be invited to a debate with a star-studded panel exploring this very issue, which took place yesterday at the Institut français du Royaume-Uni (that's the French Cultural Insitute in the UK). Continue reading ...
