With travel restrictions lifting and the weather improving, our journey around the SWCP was back on. A relatively simple affair logistics wise, we drove to the end point in Paington and jumped on the train back to Starcross. Although this meant we are still missing a mile down Exmouth seafront and a trip on the... Continue Reading →

Now firmly into Devon for leg 6 of this journey and logistics were getting a little more complicated with travel times for runs increasing. However, we made the effort to squeeze in one more before Xmas and any further hold ups with Covid restrictions. With a relatively early start we headed to our next end... Continue Reading →

For Leg 5 of the journey we headed back to West Bay to start another 20 mile stretch of the SWCP. Ending in Beer we had now finished off the Dorset section of the path and crossed county borders into Devon. We knew we were in for some tough hills out of West Bay as... Continue Reading →

Endurance Life Coastal Trail Series Dorset ended up being my unintentional 'A' Race for the year. With this year being the way it has, just being on a start line for an event or 2 felt strange enough, the fact that it was an Ultra Marathon made it a whole lot stranger. Its no secret...

Leg 2 of our SWCP adventure was planned from the end point of the previous run at Kimmeridge Bay heading to Bowleaze Cove Weymouth; a 16 mile/26km stretch taking in the infamous "rollercoaster" section of hills around Lulworth Cove. The original plan for this was to do it last Saturday (14th November) and we set... Continue Reading →

The South West Coast Path, a 630 mile waymarked trail that runs around the perimeter of the South West of England. Covering the coasts of North Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall, it is the longest marked trail in the UK. Having virtually lived on the trail my whole life, I knew of it well, however...

After a couple of conversations with athletes recently around this Corona Virus outbreak and its effect on the sports and events industries I thought it was time to write something about the situation to at least start a conversation and hopefully help you on your continued journey in sport and triathlon. I'm not going to... Continue Reading →

Last time I wrote anything was all he way back in May 2019, I had just crashed my bike and broken my collarbone and was planning the come back trail to fitness again! I sat down to write a few times last year but things never really got going so well after that point. Disappointingly... Continue Reading →
