With the UK getting ready for that big event that's happening in London in a couple of weeks, TV has been taken over by documentaries on sport. So, while sitting on your sofa you can get inspired to go out and train. Here's some of the pics from the last week alone - catch them [...]
No attempt to look at the learnings offered to us runners by American sitcoms of the past couple of decades could or should overlook '30 Rock'. Yeah you've got a lot of race medals, but do you have any Emmys? Didn't think so. Tina Fey does, and so does Liz Lemon.And so we turn our [...]
Have you run a marathon? Yes? Well score one to you, score zero to Dr Frasier Crane. Frasier, like many people, wanted to run a marathon but he never got round to it. Remember the hilarity that resulted from the hospital mixing him up with another patient who then died? The newspapers and TV stations ran [...]
If there's an excuse for missing training, I've probably used it. But there's one excuse I won't be using not to run: the riots in London. Because, us Londoners have had to put up with a lot of shit over the years - but we carry on. That's what we're good at. On the morning after [...]
It's a close call between what I like more: running or watching American sitcoms. I'd actually like to live in a perpetual cycle of doing one or the other with the only interupptions to this being the occasional power nap. I'd also need someone to bring me food but I'm pretty confident I could negotiate a [...]
One of the unexpected outcomes of moving 10 minutes from my office is that I've been watching more episodes of Friends recently. Turns out there really isn't anything worth rushing home for TV wise in that 5-6pm slot. And as E4 shows around 5,574 episodes of Friends per week, it really is hard to avoid.I [...]
I'm still in shock from last night's grand finale. The show eased us in with the Red Team (mother and daughter voted off in the first week) who looked great. Yes, well done. Then it was on to the Orange Team - Joanne and Paul were billed as lazy ones throughout the first couple of episodes. [...]
It's every man and woman for themselves in the final week, and this week we're in Cyprus. Only the three biggest losers will go through from the end of this programme. It's tense - will it be Wil? Can Karen do it? Maybe Paddy will have a Paddy? I'm all out of puns, let's get [...]
I have a confession to make. In preparation for last night’s Biggest Loser I ate only apples and nuts. They were, however, both covered in chocolate, as it was Valentine’s Day so Richard has said I can continue in my role of blogger for the Black and Blue teams.Let’s get to it then. So, Richard [...]
I can barely contain my excitement about next week’s show long enough to discuss last night’s, but here goes. From the off we were teased with new footage in the opening titles. As well as contestants that we’ve loved and lost (remember Big G? I wonder if he’s still Big G or maybe now he’s [...]
