Uncover your inner athlete!

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.. Each morning in Africa a lion awakes - it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve.


No matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up you had better be running!

Running on different surfaces


Having experienced a slight niggle over the past few weeks, I have truly embraced and learned the value of training on all different surfaces.

By staying on grass and trails you are able to take the pressure off your joints and injured areas and help to manage and train through the injury while on target for a goal event.

Ordinarily total rest is the best option for any injured area, but when you are targeting an event and if things are manageable then it can be an option to rather run on surfaces that don’t irritate the injury too much.

Adopting this sort of behaviour can help to prolong your training plan and also ensure that you don’t suffer from the runner’s depression that can come on for those that love to run who are faced with suddenly not being able to do that any longer.

Running together (while helping to beat runner’s depression), stride for stride on a life changing ride! – Sean Muller
