I remember very clearly the confusion I felt at my friend's jealousy of those running the London Marathon. She'd not got a place and would've given anything to join them, instead she was fated to sulk the whole week before the race...
Running isnt pretty. You huff and puff until youre beetroot red and soaked through with stinky sweat and the occasional tear. Unfortunately, it seems to get worse. The more Ive run the further and longer Ive gone the more disgusting skills Ive...
It’s something, certainly as a female who runs on her own in the dark, I’ve acknowledged but always tried to not think about. You hear warnings and horror stories but you don’t ever expect anything bad to happen to you. And...
Unless I have someone breathing down my neck, screaming instructions, I find intervals hard. I’m sure I’m not alone. They hurt! And when you know that, it’s difficult to inflict that pain on yourself. Alas, you won’t get fast without...

Choosing your friends
It seems to have been the only reasonable explanation to my non-running friends as to why I wanted to run an ultra-marathon. “I’ve fallen into a bad crowd”, I explained with my tongue firmly in my cheek. Who hasn't been encouraged...
I’m tired. It’s simple as that. It’s that time of year again when darkness seems to creep up on us. We go to work and return in the dark, barely seeing a spot of sun for months. It’s tiring! Everyone seems...
I’ve never been one for number watching. My PBs are simple rewards for gradually becoming a better runner. I’ll run on feel, rather than tirelessly calculating splits and squeezing seconds out of miles. I collect stories, friends and photos rather than...
During this years Marathon Des Sables, Susie Chan decided to use Runderwear. This is how she got on: Running 156 miles through the Sahara desert in the Marathon des Sables, you need to carry everything you need to eat, sleep and...
In every exhibition or race we attend with our Runderwear team we meet members of the armed forces with problems. Servicemen and women all over tell us about their issues with chaffing, and it isn't difficult to see why. Firstly training...
It’s hard being the s**t runner. Not least because you end up so soul-destroyingly far behind, that you start to tell yourself you’re s**t. You knew running in this group would stretch your comfort zone, you didn’t realise you’d end...
Girls, it’s time to drag out your dresses and hunt for your heels, we’re well and truly into wedding season. As someone who lives her life in trainers, though, this is a bit of a problem. Dressing for my cousin’s wedding...
Know your local loop like the back of your hand? Reckon you could bash out a local 5k with your eyes closed? Keep track of your mileage with familiar landmarks? You should get lost. Running should be a joy, a means...

A Simple Hello.
I was cautiously fresh from injury with my first half marathon on the horizon. I’d woken up early to enjoy the sunrise on the coast and attempt a long, (fingers crossed) pain free run during a weekend away. Half an hour...
It’s hot. The type of hot that could melt the rubber off your shoes or dry your mouth out in an instant and the smell of tarmac bubbling in the heat fills the air. You didn’t think about the summer training...

Training with Music. Should you?
Training with music. A lot of runners, sports people and gym-goers wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without their trusted companion – the headphones. But does training with music help or is it a hindrance? Should running with music be banned in all...
During the 1980's the world was introduced to a concept which became known as Sports Nutrition. With health shops full of Supplements and magazines giving you all kinds of advice its hard to think that its only 30 years since the first...
It’s a fresh season of half marathon running. Half marathons are so much more manageable than marathon running. At half the distance it slots in with running your own business. I feel it is conducive to good performance in the office, a...

The Sunday Run is a staple in all runners diets. As a runner growing up I was immediately introduced to the mythical activity of the Sunday Run! Some weeks were longer than others but every Sunday morning I would meet my training...
