One question that’s always interested me is: Should we do work that makes us happy or should we be happy with any work that we do?
Public Speaking The Easy Way
Shopping malls have only ever given me one thing of any use. But that thing was pretty useful – the ability to give speeches and presentations to large rooms full of people.
And how did they do that? By giving me a big bill for self help books and DVDs? Nope, by introducing me to Toastmasters…
Scenar: How To Heal A Problem Achilles
Injuries can be a right pain in the arse, and in many other parts of the body too! But for most long distance runners, footballers or ageing ‘athletes’ of any description, injuries are like running out of booze just after the off license has shut – one of Mother Nature’s inevitable but rather disagreeable practical jokes.
Frack Off – No Coal Seam Gas Mining
How would you like someone to blast vast quantities of toxic chemicals, sand and water into the ground near your house? What about if it meant there was a good chance that this poisonous mixture would then contaminate the local water table?

Sub 4 Hour Marathon For All: Throw Away The Training Manual!
It all started a few years back, deep in the zone of a 20 mile run, when I had a revelation which led to me adopting a completely new approach to running.
The fundamental idea was simple: you don’t run to compete, to beat anyone or to earn anything. You run for the pure instinctive exhilaration of it.

I called it Edge Running.
