Ladies (and gentlemen if that's the way your cookie crumbles), this could be a short review. Because I flipping LOVE this bit of kit and have nothing even slightly negative to say about it. I started looking for a good running skirt a little while ago. I got a Kalenji one, but it was teeny … Continue reading Kit Review: WAA Ultra Skirt
“Und Berlin? Und die Mauer? Die Stadt wird leben, und die Mauer wird fallen.” “And Berlin? And the wall? The city will remain alive, and the wall is going to come down.” Willy Brandt Mr. Duff is on a mission to tick off the World Majors (the marathons in London, New York, Tokyo, Chicago, … Continue reading Tear Down These Walls
Isn't it funny how good ideas come to you when you run? I got an email this week to say that Duffrunning has been nominated for the 2018 Running Awards, following being shortlisted into the final 12 (out of about 80 blogs) this year. This is lovely and once again I'm dead chuffed! Apart from … Continue reading Greatest Hits – Running Awards 2018
There’s something a bit funny going on at the moment. I almost don’t even want to say anything about it, in case Fate decides she’s been tempted and it all goes wrong. But here goes… I’m getting faster again. I know, weird! It’s been so long since I was able to run the paces I’m … Continue reading A Bit Fit

It's a North Face one so the slightly traily Osterley parkrun seems a good testing ground. 7:03am Oooh, pretty new running kit! 7:30am OK, this feels fine. Under shorts are riding up a bit more … Continue reading The Skort Trials – Easy Breezy
Our usual August bank holiday jaunt North of the Wall was enhanced this year by the chance to run the inaugural Great Aberdeen Run. I’m always in two minds about Great Run events. On the one hand, there’s the fact that they are big events that follow a formula so they’re generally well organised. On … Continue reading Mixed Messages – Great Aberdeen Run
I've just seen something on Facebook that kind of threw me. Genuinely not sure what I think about this thing - it's called a Buband. Now I'm a really strong believer in everyone's running, or any other form of exercise, being completely how they want to do it. Go as fast or slow, as far … Continue reading Just Buy a Better Bra…!
The evening of Friday 4th August, at the London stadium. Mo Farah is rounding the last bend of the track on his way to a historic gold at the 2017 World Championships. 100m left of 10,000. The noise is incredible. It swells more than you would think possible as the crowd scream him home. I’m … Continue reading Legends & Monsters
Well colour me shocked to see how long it's been since the last time I wrote anything. I've been neglecting you shamefully, how lazy of me. I haven't actually been being lazy. I had a lot on at work for a good number of weeks, and it wasn't so much having no time to write … Continue reading Much Ado About Nothing
Every year in July our household makes two trips all the way to darkest East London for reasons of athleticism. Early on in the month we head out to take part in the Great Newham London Run. This year we’d been having a chat a few weeks before as to whether or not we would … Continue reading Gold Doesn’t Always Glitter
