Narcissism on Social Media?
Ever struggled with the futile nature of trying to keep new trainers looking new? Ever wondered what it feels like to run two marathons in the same day? Well that’s the sort of rubbish you will find written down here among various other articles.
You can also read about my self-supported ‘Frodo’ exploits through Europe to Mordor, running Lands End to John O’Groats for Sport Relief, my various running treks through Wales, my winter experience (in June) cycling John O’Groats to Lands End, and my constant battle of trying to do all this with hardly any money to my name.
