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. “

Pyllon Coaching continues to grow with International athletes joining the Coaching team

There have been a number of positive changes at Pyllon recently as the team continues to help more runners take on bigger and bolder challenges.

International athletes Rob Turner, Grant MacDonald and Debbie Martin-Consani have all joined the Pyllon Coaching team.

We have launched new products to help more people get more from their training and racing: Pyllon LITE, which is a more cost effective option for athletes who do not need weekly contacts with a coach, and TRAX for athletes racing shorter distances, from 5K to marathon on trail, road and XC.

Thinking About Why: Jo's Munro Record Round

With all the uncertainty brought on by continued lockdowns and the call of adventure becoming louder by the day, we were super-excited to hear about Jo’s bold, personal challenge which she has been working on for some time. Jo is no stranger to the mountains and is no slouch off-trail, especially when it comes to letting loose on descents! So here’s what’s involved in this record attempt this weekend.

Tom's 24 hour Challenge

“PXP3 taught me a lot of things – Adventure and Being Bold really resonated though and, with this in mind, a couple of months into becoming a Pyllon athlete (treating ourselves as “athletes” being another big learning) and after some encouragement by Kaz to think about some adventures/challenges I settled on a 24 hour challenge.”

Together we train smarter, run stronger and race harder.
