Something For Everyone: The parkrun Revolution | Run, Rest, Repeat
https://runningdanw.wordpress.com/2014/12/28/something-for-everyone-the-parkrun-revolution
Run, Rest, Repeat. Something For Everyone: The parkrun Revolution. Having recently celebrated it’s tenth birthday. You can’t have failed to hear about parkrun. But have you printed your barcode and joined in yet? No matter what type of runner you are, I’ve no doubt you (and your running) could benefit from getting involved. For those of you who haven’t heard of. And yes, it’s correctly written with no capitals] the concept is a simple one:. Perhaps the fact that runners are still very much a misunderstoo...

The Tale of Two Races – Part 2: Great Newham London Run | Run, Rest, Repeat
https://runningdanw.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/the-tale-of-two-races-part-2-great-newham-london-run
Run, Rest, Repeat. The Tale of Two Races – Part 2: Great Newham London Run. Hot on the heels of the Iffley Miles. I headed to the Olympic Park to see if I score a second PB in as many days at the Great Newham London 10k. The day turned out to be amazing, tough and ridiculous in equal measures! You know when running is more than just a hobby when you go to bed early on a Saturday night, setting the alarm for 05:50 on a Sunday morning. WTF! These are the things you (and your wife) do in the name of running!

The Tale of Two Races – Part 1: Iffley Miles | Run, Rest, Repeat
https://runningdanw.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/the-tale-of-two-races-part-1-iffley-miles
Run, Rest, Repeat. The Tale of Two Races – Part 1: Iffley Miles. Last year I discovered a fascinating-yet-underloved running distance that has won my heart. The Oxford University’s Iffley Road track hosted the Iffley Miles. Along with my very approximate attempt to emulate Sir Roger Bannister. The 60th anniversary of Sir Roger Bannister recording the first ever sub 4 minute mile piqued my interest last year and I pulled together more than 50 people around the globe to run a mile in tribute. As a member o...

Run, Rest, Repeat. Are you going the #extramile for London? Training for a marathon is a big undertaking. It’s not just physically tough but mentally exhausting too.

Now you can capture your marathon journey as you go the #extramile. Last year, the London Marathon title sponsor, Virgin Money, launched a website. As well as tracking your training, ...

Run, Rest, Repeat. All posts by running dan w. Inspired to tweet (@running dan w) about my running by the London Marathon - running 800km for Maggie's (http:/ www.justgiving.com/800kmForMaggies). Love good food, architecture, photography, football and motorsport. London Marathon Ballot: The Impossible Problem. Willy Wonka doesn’t organise marathons. But if he did, it’d probably be the best marathon in the world. Would he hide golden race numbers in energy gels? The Race Plan: Oxford Half 2016 Preview.
