They so painful!

Just a quick one this: My feet have been really sore at BMF classes since I started back up in Jan. After about 4-5 minutes, they start to feel almost sprained and almost impossibly painful. After half an hour or so the pain begins to lessen, but I’m not sure what it is. I do a 30 minute walk to the class before hand, so I think they’re warmed up enough. I’ve even tried buying a new pair of running shoes, but that hasn’t helped either. My girlfriend said it might be because my right foot is totally flat.

This didn’t happen last year – anyone got any ideas? Post ‘em in the comments below. Or, if you’ve got some spare, working feet, post ‘em to my house. Thnx.

Oh, and PRO TIP: Don’t go into Google image search and type in ‘Sore Feet’. You will regret it.

You can't really tell, but the shelves are full of pies.

Ok, so I’ve been rubbish. More than a bit rubbish in fact – I haven’t blogged for 5 months. So what have I been doing? Basically, eating pies. (more…)

So last night, after a series of unfortunate events, I ended up taking a big step, via the medium of being shoved. Yes, I became a man. But how did this happen? Read on, gentle reader… (more…)

Matthew's the one in the middle, fact fans.

Sorry about the lack of posts this week – it’s been a rum old time. But to make up for it, I’ve got a lovely treat for you today – an interview with comedian Matthew Crosby, one third of Pappy’s, one of Britain’s best sketch troupes. It’s funny stuff, and he wears glasses and is basically awesome. Read on, gentle reader… (more…)

So last night I tried a new BMF Venue. Excitingly, the BBC were there to watch me do it… (more…)

The lovely people at Oxfam got in touch with me to ask if I wouldn’t mind flagging up the two races that they currently have places for.

The first race is the Royal Park’s Half Marathon.

The second is the Run To The Beat race, which features bands and DJ’s playing sets along the race course. Which actually sounds pretty cool. Admittedly, the biggest name last year was Bashy, and it pissed down with rain, but still.

Click the links if you’re interested in doing some fundraising. My Gran used to work at Oxfam, so I think it’s a pretty cool guy.

Look! Scarred for life!

Despite my habit of getting into scrapes, amazingly I’ve managed to do British Military Fitness for months now without a single accident. This week, my perfect record came to an end – I got assaulted by a tree. (more…)

The guys at British Military Fitness asked me to pass on some info about the upcoming 3 Peaks Challenge. It involves climbing the three mountain peaks in 24 hours.

• Scotland – Ben Nevis at 1,343m
• England - Scafell Pike at 978m
• Wales - Snowdon at 1,085m

It sounds really exhausting, but there’s a full training package available, and I’m sure you’ll be allowed to take sandwiches or something. More information here: http://www.britmilfit.com/events/Three_Peaks.aspx
