Hey, you, runners! You are great, you are powerful, you are better than you were yesterday. You are, however, NOT INVINCIBLE. This winter, I have been seeing a lot of runners out in head-to-toe black, no reflectors, headphones in and it gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. We need to have a talk about reflective gear….
Get Faster, Fast! How to smash your marathon PB in 2015.
This guest post comes from the fantastic Laura Fountain, the brain behind Lazy Girl Running and half of our favourite event of the year, run blogging conference Write This Run.

Now that I’ve gone long and steady, I’m ready for my next challenge at the upcoming Abbey Dash 10k – short and speedy. I’m just not 100% sure where to begin. I have to not lose sight of the progress I’ve made, since I ran my first race in 2012. I just am not sure…
Yorkshire Marathon 2014 Race Report
