Another stellar performance from my athlete Ben Brown who smashed the Swansea 70.3 Ironman triathlon on the 12th July. This course was really very challenging from a 1.2 mile twisty dock swim, onto a very hilly 56 mile (4000ft elevation) bike course including some technical descending and cows to navigate on course! Lastly the 13.1 …

Always quick to share the good stuff so thought I had better be honest and share when things don’t quite go to plan! A recent trip to Lanzarote for my husband and athlete to take part in Ironman Lanzarote resulted in a night at hospital after the race. In recent years Simon has been suffering …

Huge kudos to my husband and athlete Simon Smith who completed the insanely hilly Valentines Day Zig Zag Marathon at the weekend. The course in Barrow near Bury St Edmunds was certainly his toughest to date with a total elevation of 2345ft of climbing over 26.2 miles. Under chilly blue skies Simon completed the course …

The hardest triathlon I have done in terms of a choppy sea swim 1.2 miles, hilliest bike course 56 miles and warmest run 13.1 miles but most definitely the …
