With his focus being firmly on the hilly Isle of Man Marathon in 5 weeks time and thinking it would be a good training run, Phil decided to enter Rutland’s Whissendine 6ix, known for being a hilly course, at the very last minute.  

This was a great weekend for Phil in Monte Gordo, Portugal, his 1st time pulling on a GB vest for the Cross Country Relay, but he knew it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. 

Ultra & Marathon specialist, Sally Ford heads back to tackle the brutal Brathay Marathon, one of the hardest Road Marathons in the UK. 

Transgrancanaria is a race Chris fancied having a look at since watching some coverage last year; the scenery looked amazing, the weather was warm and it looked like a good day out. 

From the age of 5 Steve represented Great Yarmouth in swimming, moving all the way up through to the National Squad where he became County and Regional Champion until, at the age of 12, running entered his life. 

Stu Robinson races IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff, proudly sporting his England vest, then runs on to be crowned a Northern Champion…

It was an honour for Stuart to represent England once again and earn another National vest at this race on Saturday 26th March, which was televised. 

TORQ Performance Running’s Sally Ford thought that testing herself with 2 Marathons in 1 week would be the perfect way to start her 2016 campaign…

  It felt like a very long winter for Sally, as she had struggled with injury from October to January and was on her way back to full fitness when she tore a calf muscle at the end of January. 

TORQ Performance Running Team Athletes Stu Robinson and Grant Johnson tackled the Trafford 10k to test their training in the build-up to London Marathon. 

So much more than a coaching job, running is Gemma’s passion and her way of life. 

Sally began to take running a little more seriously in 2011, when she entered the London Marathon – small beginnings for what was to come. 

Shropshire born and bred Ali started running at the age of seven years – and hasn’t stopped since. 

This was Phil’s first distance race of 2016 and the third year he has run Folkestone 15 and, being one of the few hilly places local to him, he’s done a lot of his training in the area, so it’s a course he knows well and it’s a good indicator of where you are at in your Spring Marathon preparation.
