Run Yank Run 030: Birthday Boy

Join me for a 6 mile run along the Thames on a lovely, sunny morning with a birdsong accompaniment.

In this episode I talk about my 42 birthday, announce that I am making an exciting job change to a new digital agency called R/GA, discuss my training and the upcoming White Peak Half Marathon and pose the following question to you listeners out there:

Which would be the better gadget to get - an iPad or a Garmin 310XT?

Run Yank Run 029: Ash Cloud

Hello again. Sorry for yet another massively long silent spell, I go into the reason for this podcast's absence in great detail in this episode, but in short it goes like this: I got really sick in March, work exploded, then we went on holiday in Spain and got stuck due to the volcanic ash cloud.

Our trip was great and we really enjoyed getting away. We saw never ending orange groves, over-developed beachfronts, ancient castles, and the inside of a Spanish hospital when one of my children got pneumonia (!). He's perfectly fine now but that was a bit of drama for the trip.

I go over being stuck in Spain due to all flights being cancelled due to the volcanic ash cloud and our journey home by bus and ferry.

And finally I talk about the running I have been doing, an upcoming race, and conducting an interview for the Runners Roundtable podcast next week with Alex Vero, a UK documentary filmmaker, runner and creator of the documentary "Running to the Limits."
