As I'm only getting back into full training after long injury, I revisit this older post I wrote a few years ago - maybe also of value of some others: "keep it simple & train with purpose": uphillrunner.com/2021/04/09/k...

A Day at: Chester Racecourse horseracing-international.com/2025/08/03/a...

Chester has a reputation for being officially the “oldest racecourse still in operation” and for attracting a particularly rowdy crowd… so I was all about finding that out last Saturday.

AK Bets talks a great game but is no better than any other bookie: even 25 quid bets get referred to the trader; win two bets and a few days later your account gets closed. No explanation why. Piss poor.

Enjoyed 💎 League at London yesterday. Quick day trip; great atmosphere and electric performances. Loved seeing Malaika Mihambo win the long jump.

Excellent stuff from Steve. It's not rocket science, and the principles remain the same, no matter the level of the athlete - amateur or pro - and the (endurance) sport: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2ZH...

What happened to The Guardian? I'm over in the UK and bought the paper. Mostly drivel, stuff you read in the Mirror or Sun. Sad.

A georgous day at Brighton Racecourse. A new one for me and pushing to make it top 3 of my global favourites. Hanshin it ain't but as small tracks go this is sublime. The views, the short distances from parade ring to betting to track, the sun... 👌

Intriguing piece that certainly challenged my own views. Things aren't always as black and white as they seem from afar.
