Boston Bound: Man Like Terry
rundemcrew2:
On Monday as the city wakes you will line up on the start line of the Boston marathon and wait for the adventure ahead. This is the moment you have trained for, through rain, sun and snow you have walked out onto the road and clocked the miles in preparation for this moment. The journey ahead will be difficult and at times will test both body and mind but I and many others have no...

Tales From The City: Finding The Spot
Jeggi tells it like it is: Exploring your city intertwined with physical exertion
rundemcrew2:
Finding the Spot What I enjoy most about skateboarding is the way that it changes one’s perspective of their environment. When you’re traveling on a skateboard, going from spot to spot; suddenly the city, from basic things like a sewer cover to architectural masterpieces, gain another purpose. The...
As Serious As My Life
Charlie Dark. Thank you.
rundemcrew2:
As the running movement gathers force and spreads across the world not a day goes by without another crew is some part of the world waving flags and declaring their existence. Some stay true the original ethos of the founding fathers but for some it’s all a thinly disguised cry for attention and free kicks from whatever brand wants in on the movement. It...

Can’t wait to run Paris Half.

Bridges across the Seine
I’ve been struggling to get out there when my plan says I should, so when I went to Paris last weekend I was looking for some magic to get me back on track. After failing to run the first day we were there *sigh* I managed to drag myself out in the cold and get a decent run in.[[MORE]]
Starting my run by the gorgeous Opera got me going, and I headed to the Marais where I was stunned by...

2012 run down
Thinking back on the running year just gone, so many moments crop up.
My running has definitely evolved massively over the last 12 months. I came into 2012 on the tail end of a post-marathon blues from Berlin in September 2011, but with Berlin Half to train for with everyone from RunDemCrew, I had to get into it again. Tempo Tuesdays, Track Thursdays, speedy Saturdays and long Sundays meant...

In Time It Will Pass: Not This Time, Not Next... →
intimeitwillpass:
When you think about it, it really isn’t that hard, yet so many of us struggle to do it.
If I were to say to you clear your mind, what’s the first thing you do? Think about clearing your mind right? And all that junk that you have just tried to free yourself from comes flooding back.

In Time It Will Pass: Not A Joke →
intimeitwillpass:
I’m not sure how many races I’ve run this year, nor how many miles I have covered running them, how much petrol I have burnt getting there or how many airmiles I have clocked up flying. I don’t know how many smiles I’ve given or received, how many high fives I’ve given or how many warm embraces…

Run yogi, run
This pretty much sums up how I feel about two of my favourite physical activities:
You can be a yogi and run. In fact, the benefits of yoga are more relevant to running than a lot of people imagine. [[MORE]]Physically, a runner’s tight muscles and need for awareness of posture and gait are supported immensely through the stretching, lengthening and posture-enhancing qualities of yoga....

Running hero: Christina Schnohr
NBRO’s pic - including confetti storm for Christina
Christina is an allround badass runner who went and laid the smackdown on Amsterdam Marathon in 3:30:13, with this much energy left at mile 26! Part of the NBROrunning crew, she sets Copenhagen asphalt on fire with the rest of the gang.
I want to be like her when I grow up.

AMS Half
So I only went at ran me a PB in the Amsterdam Half! But I get ahead of myself, full story ahead.[[MORE]]
Run Dem Crew moved out to Amsterdam with over 110 peeps running the full or half marathon, and impressively quite a few came just to cheer the rest of us on. We were joined by 6 other crews from around the world: BridgeRunners (NYC), Moskva River Runners (MOW), NBRO (CPH), Graviteam (BER)...

Live and Direct: Royal Parks Half Marathon 2012
rundemcrew2:
The Royal Parks Half Marathon is one of the London to do races and this year the organizers dropped us four places to participate. Nuff heads from the crew also entered meaning we did da ting mob style this year. Big ups to everyone who reached and especially those who came out of their warm beds to cheer the crew on towards the finish line. A great race experience all round....

NBRO
Last night I went for a recovery run after the Copenhagen Half with the lovely guys and gals of NBRO. A balmy night by the ‘lakes’, an all-time high number of runners and a chilled shaking of lactic acid from the legs.
Got to send a proper thanks to everyone who have gone out of the way to make us RDCers feel so welcome here over the weekend - Mike, Troels, Christina and every...

It's mental
Last night’s run really got me thinking. Not that there was much coherent thought going on during the speedy tempo run through London’s streets, but in my emotional state after the run, new perspectives turned up about a few things that have been bouncing around in my mind recently.[[MORE]]
Since moving up to a faster group about a month ago, I have felt the burn and felt that I had...

Don't dream of winning
Don’t dream of winning. Train for it. @mo_farah #makeitcount
Mo’s been on my wall since the British 10K a while back, reminding me of the importance of setting goals and doing my best to reach them. I know Mo’s *actually* thinking about winning races, but for mere mortals winning means something else. To me it’s about setting goals to challenge my body, my stamina, my...

Noise
I’m not one to follow a training plan, what with my inherent aversion to authority (even if it comes from myself!). Yet, despite more or less winging it on the training plan side of things, it seems I’m doing something right.[[MORE]]
I’ve stepped up (kind of half) a group at RunDemCrew and now run with the Cheetah/Elites. On Tuesday we averaged 4.36min/km over 11km. We did...

Olympic football
Living in London for the last 6 years, I have seen changes and preparation take place across the city, experienced the tensions around sponsorship deals, corporate decision making, the intended legacies and community involvement. It hasn’t been beautiful in the detail, but for me the beauty of a global sports event with 204 nations represented draws ranks in the overall view. I declare...
