International Snowdon Race
Well, I’ve only gone and entered the 38th International Snowdon Race on 20 July… It’s always important to have another race on the horizon after a marathon, so you’ve got something to aim for.

Yet another track bites the dust?
It seems not a month has gone by since the Olympics, that Athletics Weekly hasn’t reported on a council-owned athletics facility being threatened by closure. Yes, they cost money to run. Yes, that is money that could be spent elsewhere. But aren’t

Core o’ Clock: Plank Taps, with Trey Hardee
Trey Hardee, twice decathlete World Champion, has a ludicrous torso. Therefore, it is natural that I would be tempted to emulate his core exercise routine. One drill that he does (according to a video put on YouTube by Nike) is

“Martyn Ashton – Road Bike Party”
