From unfit and overweight through half-marathoner and marathoner to my ultimate challenge - the toughest footrace on earth - 150 miles in 6 days in the Sahara - the 2014 Marathon des Sables.

I hope this blog will be a source of tips for other runners and a source of inspiration for those who want to start running, but need a bit of a push!

New Shoes...and New PB!

Target for Sunday - Half marathon in <1:45.

Went out in new Asics GT-1000 and Injini toe socks that I picked up yesterday (see Equipment page).

Managed it - 13.15 miles in 1:45:44 (or 1:44:18 if you remove time waiting to cross roads!)

No shoe problems, feet feel great.  The Injini socks are good too - I used them as a liner layer with Thorlo Experias on top.  Very comfortable
