  • Victoria of 'Plus The Dog' Shares her Epic Journey into Running.

    by Beverley Logan
    For Christmas, my husband, who is supposed to care about me, and, you know, want the best for me, entered me into a 5K ‘race’ as my Christmas present. I was all at once pleased and really annoyed with him for doing this. I would have been happy with chocolate or something unimaginative but luxurious, but instead I got a race number. This is not luxurious, at least not in any context I know about.

  • From Baby to Marathon PB in 11 Months by Emily

    by Beverley Logan
    I run my first Parkrun almost exactly 3 months since having Ted; a very hilly Parkrun in Lullingstone. I finish feeling exhausted but great to have done it. As I walk over to my husband at the finish I realise my leggings are wet. I’ve basically wet myself. I want to cry

  • Nat's First Ever Relay Race

    by Beverley Logan

    18 teams. SHIT! Pressure was on. Especially when I saw how many running clubs were there. They all looked pretty serious to me. What if all these people run 30min Parkruns? What if these people all run past me and knock my confidence? What if I’m so slow and I let my team down?

    So I was there and there was no turning back. I just needed to do the best I possibly could.

  • Vikki's Journey - Army Wife & Running Life

    by Beverley Logan
    I never thought I would say the words “I want to complete a marathon” and still have a gimmer of hope of doing the London Marathon well until my “sorry” magazine hits my doormat. But it’s something I feel a compulsion to do. I want anyone to think this is something they can do and if little old me who used to faint to get out of PE at school can think about it anyone can.

  • Running and Anxiety By Chrissy

    by Beverley Logan
    The NHS describe anxiety as a feeling of unease, such as a worry or fear, that can be mild or severe. A lot of people feel anxious and at time. This can be a natural and normal feeling that is nothing to worry about however with my anxiety the fear became severe and I began to suffer with intrusive thoughts.

  • Global Running Day Inspiration From Laura

    by Beverley Logan
    I then ventured out alone I went a bit faster I ran a bit further but I always kept my house in the centre of my run just in case anything happened like I needed the toilet, I needed a drink, teenagers threw a bottle at me (genuine fear) or people laughed at me.

  • RUNFESTRUN REVIEW BY THE LOGAN FAMILY

    by Beverley Logan
    The first place the kids wanted to go was the funfair which was old fashioned and glorious with a big wheel, a boat swing and a helter-skelter as well as a carousel for the littler visitors. I was a bit nervous this was going to be crazy expensive.
