Run 4 Your Life - Ultra Running

Connecting the brain with the body, just like when we were small. Learning to use our hands for the first time. It’s good to get it running and start strength training but you’ll get much more from it if you train your brain to use the correct body parts. Again, consistency wins over everything. Be a student of your own body and mind.

Definitely a quiet period after the 100 miler. A time for reflection and growth from the work that has been done. Or maybe an incubation period. Making room for what’s to come. Also my running style evolution.

You can’t run away from the hard, it’s inevitable . By choosing to do hard things you condition yourself to be more resilient when life’s hard comes along. Running, training, moving your body especially when you don’t want to. Short term hard for long term gain or short term comfort for long term hardship.

Well this week is a real doozy. I tried my best to stay composed but the emotions got the best of me. Very hard to put an experience like running the South Downs Way 100 into words. The emotions just show how immense it was. We can do the unthinkable and are way more capable than we think. The only thing holding us back is ourselves. There’s things don’t come to you, you have to go o get them. Big...

In a couple of days I’ll be taking on the 100 mile running distance, again. This time with more knowledge and fitness. Scared but 100% confident in my ability to complete this time. Now to execute. The fear I have just shows it is what I should be doing even more. Here we come Centurions South Downs Way 100 trail run!

James Logan after being diagnosed with stage four cancer chose to face the fear after the devastating news. Using his years of triathlon training to focus on getting better. Swopping run, bike, swim for chemo, radiation and surgery. The uncertainty has given him an acceleration on life and he is using this to inspire the world. Focused on the Ironman World Championship in Kona Hawaii he has just r...

We are all runners, it shouldn’t be a “Thing”. Our bodies are designed to run. Trying to inspire running to be part of our day to day lives again.

4 weeks away from running The South Downs Way 100 mile trail race. Not that I’ll be racing. Completion is my aim within the 30 hour cutoff. Training, pacing, fuelling needs to be on point. Then let it all unfold on the day. 13th June.

Full flow mid block for the South Downs Way 100 mile ultra in June. Focused on training but without missing the gold of life. Being present and enjoying it. Running isn’t just about the event we are training for. We get to enjoy the event after the daily work we put in. Inspired by others achievements and dedication. The importance of strength training.

The London marathon 2026 did not disappoint. From the crowds to the enormity of participants. They really have perfected the organisation. I would recommend the experience to anyone.

Running the London marathon in a few days. The taper is forcing me to deal with the mental side of training and these events. It’s going to be great to see runners at all different points in the progress. After all running is for everyone.

Finished running your training block. Maranoia - phantom pains, doubt the training , restlessness, urge to run. No confirmation of your fitness just time to think. This is a good time to delve into your thought processes.

We can be so focused on the running. Increasing speed, strength and endurance while marathon training. Trying to create an unstoppable mind that we forget rest and recovery. We will ache and be tired mentally and physically but watch out for signs of over training.

Weekly refocus. Running can improve your cardio quickly but sometimes to quickly for you body. Strength training to help your tendons, ligaments and joints keep up with the load as you grow into your running. Progress isn’t just adding it can be releasing old habits to create room for new. Finished off with a poem.

I take on the St Edmund’s path with my buddy Julian. 80 miles trail running self supported. What an adventure of a day, I got out of it everything I wanted and needed. Not so much more fitness but the fuelling, kit and time on feet.

With the Tarpley 20 road race completed successfully focus is now on the St Edmunds Way self supported trail ultra. Julian and I start our second attempt next week and hope for completion this time.

Benefits of barefoot running, keeping your mind at peace with the ups and downs of training and weight loss. Focus on the process and the pb’s will follow.

When beginning your running journey there’s so many things to listen to and take into account. I wish I knew more at the start to speed up the process but I was a different mindset back then. There’s no hiding the fact that it’s very hard when you start so maybe the main thing to focus on is just getting it done. How ever bad or hard it is show up every time. Build your endurance and fitness found...

It’s good to stop and be accountable once a week. Make sure the ship is still going in the right direction. Have you gone stagnant or is there more you can do. Go all in on your passion and follow where it leads you. Running changed my life and still is week on week.

“If you don’t stop and look around once in a while you could miss it”. Run while you can, experience as much as you are passionate about. Try things, you never know, that might be your thing. We are here to do more than the mundane chores. Necessary chores but fit living in somewhere. My thing is running so I’m going all in and run!

Special episode for Julian running the Arc of Attrition 2026. Race number 708. Scheduled for upload at 2 am to help through the night. Come on buddy! You’ve got this! 💪
