It was the day of the race and I was feeling so excited and nervous at the same time. I woke at 6.00am to ensure that I could have my breakfast nice and early and prepare myself for the day ahead. At 8.00am I had a protein shake I was dressed in my Stoke FIT vest and shorts ready to go. I set off w Read More…

Well today came my first official race of 2015, The Alsager 5 mile race which is very popular and always full, one of the reasons for its popularity is that it’s a virtually flat course so the potential to obtain a PB is very high. Having not raced this before I was Read More…

What a day! Sunday 26th May saw 5 Stoke F.I.T. runners line up amongst 226 other runners to tackle the very hard and hilly Buxton half marathon. Gregg Boughey, Lucinda Stone, Dave McGuire, Matteo Loforte and myself all met up by race HQ and discussed what we were up against! Only Gregg and Lucinda had done the race before, so the rest of us were unsure of what was to come and just wanted to get stuck in! Dave had done the Potter’s Arf twice before joining us at Stoke F.I.T. and had done the much flatter in comparison Stafford half since. Matt however, had no experience of racing yet!
