By John Bingham on 27/11/2003 14:04:54
Sometimes it's a real uphill struggle to recognise that we're not reaching our potential

Celebrating five years of providing care services at The Shooting Star Children's Hospice
of a few hundred metres. Oddly, about half of the runners who entered the tunnel decided to stop and walk. When I later asked a friend (who himself had stopped in the tunnel to walk) why he did so, he replied, "Because no-one could see me stop running or walking

Cherry On Top of the Cake (of Training)
By Liz Casling on 05/05/2011 11:27:35
My story of the london marathon 2011
long. By mile 6-7 the sun was really beginning to pound down and along with my asthma (which is always worse in cities) I have to say I walked for about a minute. I was dissappointed as I had hoped to run at least 15 miles non-stop but I found the heat

-days-a-week training (RW's 16-week plan) under my belt, I was ready but I found myself sat in my hotel room on Sunday morning thinking of excuses to not run! I was nervous and scared of failing, but after a kick up the bum from my wife I left, walked to Charing Cross

The Power Of One
By John Bingham on 27/11/2003 10:25:11
