Galloway hills, 45 miles and 5200 meters of ascent, are some of the most brutal terrain of any hills I know in the UK. No GPS allowed, and you must complete the event as a team of four….what an awesome concept.

8 Actionable Takeaways for Female Athletes From ...

The science of running (and other sports) is more complex than many people realise. It’s not just a case of lacing up your trainers and putting one foot in front of the other. The female body is not simply a smaller version of our male counterparts. Oh, and how the hell do we train in and around the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause anyway?

This article will outline some of the golden nuggets found in Roar by Dr. Stacy Sims.

Arjit Inspires by Being Bold

Here’s Arjit sharing an inspiring story of an event he created.

“During the event I learnt that there is more to running than just follow the training plan or to get out of the bed and go for a run. I learnt to respect people’s time and personal limitations. Many times an assigned person didn’t turn up to the slot and I had to get out to fill the gap - twice during the week in the middle of the night. Instant reaction was to get frustrated though a perspective shift would suggest that it’s a slot for someone and it’s an event for me. “

Paul Giblin: The Man Running 3,000 Kilometres Along The Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand

, , ,

I used to feel like Paul Giblin, the runner. But probably less so now, believe it or not, even though most of my life is still centered around running.

The last few years have been a journey. I guess a transition from travelling, training, and racing - with everything being about competing in the best races, to racing less but wanting to do more. I think we all had our challenges through the COVID period, but it likely sped up my desire for a life that felt a little more settled.

Pyllon will be in its 10th year next year you know! Crazy eh?

And I’m still excited about it.

Together we train smarter, run stronger and race harder.
