So this week, I am gearing up for the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday the 27th of May. Due to the location of the marathon, I shall not be attending the expo of the event as I usually do with larger marathons, which is a shame. As shame because I love being around fellow marathon runners. [...]
Join The Jedi Running Team – Join Our Fight Against The Lethargy Sedentary Sith Lords
Yes, we the runners of light and well-being shall be wielding the force, breathing the fresh air and using our fitness to do battle against the dark forces of evil lethargy, sedentary lifestyle with their refined sugar, simple carbs and booze quaffing, TV staring minions… (How to extend a metaphor, eh?)

Hypnosis For Running – Inspirational Imagery 01
At the end of last year, I wrote about using self-hypnosis and mental imagery for enhanced running, and as well as using animals and machines for our mental imagery skills, we also used other exceptional athletes.

The Marathon Man
On Monday, after I had settled back into work following Sundays first marathon, I got a lovely email from one of my hypnotherapy diploma students, and someone who is a wonderful lady.
