Good quality action cameras for running and other activities are not cheap. Here, I find an inexpensive camera to see if it can match the expectations required of a top branded version.

Brief video and photographic highlights of the fourth edition of the race held in 2018. The Jubilee Running 10k is organised by Croydon Jubilee Church.

Kenley Aerodrome in Surrey is one of the finest World War II airfields remaining and is still used by various clubs, most notably gliding. The general public are welcome to visit the site and use the 1.9 mile perimeter to walk, run or take young children cycling. For runners, it is completely flat and has a predominantly tarmac surface with some gravel in places. As it is a large, open area, it...

I decided to complete a marathon in a 24 hour period to see how it would compare with a recognised marathon event. What went well and what didn't go according to plan.

Whether it is the only means of exercise, you are training for an endurance event or taking part in one, the need to walk may crop up. Walking should not be seen as a failure for runners but ought to be regarded as a useful tool. A good, long walk is beneficial for those starting their distance running journey as well as being an enjoyable cross-training exercise. It can also help runners recov...

Do you get running dreams? I do and quite a number of these have a familiar feel and outcome. Here, I share a regular one of mine of which you may, or may not, have also experienced.

The 2024 edition of the Brighton Marathon took place on Sunday 7 April. It was the first in which London Marathon Events had a whole year to plan for. It was a huge success and here I go through the key parts of the Brighton Marathon Weekend and focus on what went well and where improvement might be needed to make future editions equally popular and successful.

A recap on two key areas which are sometimes forgotten about in the build up to a big marathon: 1. Nothing new on race day (fuelling and kit) 2. Getting to the start (allowing for circumstances beyond your control)

A few personal opinions regarding the Brighton Marathon. As mentioned in the video, these are my thoughts and not necessarily those of the Brighton Marathon Weekend or London Marathon Events.

The Brighton Marathon is a hugely popular event since its inaugural race in 2010. The first post-coronavirus pandemic marathon in 2021 was eagerly anticipated but didn't go as smoothly as expected. Here, we look at some of the things that occurred that day, although it did not spoil the occasion and joy of being able to run in a mass participation event once again.

The most easterly point on the Brighton Marathon course features a hilly out-and-back section between Ovingdean and Rottingdean. Here, I am using this section to do some hill reps as part of my Brighton Marathon training.

For anyone who has entered or thinking of taking part in the Brighton Marathon, here is a short video of practical advice ahead of the big day. Topics include race entry, accommodation, getting to the start and from the finish. I will also touch on what to expect before the start and water stations.

A number of running events take place in, around and pass Lloyd Park in Croydon each year. Since 2023, for the safety of participants and tram users, Transport for London have decided that no events should cross the tramlines. Although no events that take place entirely within the park itself have been affected, other races have been asked to plot new routes in order to put on future events. Ap...

In 2021, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer despite showing no symptoms. In this video, I encourage men over 50 to get a blood test - earlier still if their is a family history. Longevity and the most effective treatment is crucial based on how soon it is identified. Returning to running or any other exercise isn't without its problems too. Here, I also share what I experienced both before an...
