I had never trained in this area of France before but these were my favourite type of roads; the narrow, winding, rolling, quiet farm...

My favourite thing about running is that you don’t really need anything, just a pair of shoes. You don’t even need directions but somehow...

It’s taken almost a month for me to comedown from last season. There were seven countries, long-ass training days, gruelling races,...

Chalet sweet chalet. I have a friend, Shaun Little, in Cape Town who has the steepest driveway ever. It’s really more the road to his...

In the backyard most swim. I can swim off my lawn. How flippin’ cool is that? The backyard of our family home is on the banks of Upper...

The Mont du Chat was a thirty minute spin from my door. It was Saturday so I took the small back roads to avoid the busier bike paths...
