Happy Running

25 JAN2012

Happy Runner

If you're a runner it tends to be a way of life. Something you get used to, something you don't like to miss. It can feel like a duty sometimes, even a chore. We all know that it can be hard work. Sure it's a brilliant cardiovascular workout that gets the heart pumping and the oxygen flowing. After a long run or a hard session you feel great but you've really earned that 'feel good' factor - that sense of well-being, that beer, that big slice of chocolate cake.

Resolutions To Revolutions

Dublin Marathon

Is marathon running bad for you? According to wider media reports based on an on-line article in the European Heart Journal, then yes, it probably is. But dig a little deeper through the UK national media's sensationalist headlines and then no, it probably isn't.

Never On A Sunday

2011 Selsdon Half Marathon

For most race organisers, Sunday is an event day. Each month the UK race calendar is packed with 10k races, half marathons, marathons and every other kind of endurance events.

Running The Marcothon For Roy Castle

1 DEC2011

Peter Rainey with Alex McLeish

Rory McGinley's news posting of November 14 on the Marcothon caused quite a bit of discussion in the SCOTTISH RUNNING GUIDE office. Running every day in December - a minimum of 3 miles or 25 minutes whichever comes first. No day off on the 25th or on New Year's Eve, no day off even if the roads are ice-bound.
