Ron Hill's Alter Ego (Free subscription) | 21/11/2009
Well its that time that all elite athletes dread - the Saturday after the Friday night. Naturally I've not been on the lash because ... well because I am elite! Plus Ernie's van broke down last night and he couldn't pick me up from the kebab wagon, so I did without the usual Friday night half keg. Instead I thought I'd try and pick up some tips from a contemporary of mine and watched Trevor Wogan on...

As I tried to leave my half read pile of newspapers and half full bottle of wine at around 9 pm last night I tried to find the motivation to update the website. One thing I try to do with the website is to produce a feature when you are not expecting it. I particularly like to publicise events a long time in the future because I believe it is far more effective than last minute plugs and reminders...

Recent consultations have reminded me about the consequences of setting goals. It seems we all want specific goals but are only willing to use the scientific approach if it fits with our lifestyles. If the goal is specific then the training programme needs to reflect it. What is evident in recent months, everyone is employing the in depth science available but not complimenting it with the necessary...

The star of Emma reflects on love, marriage and why her two-year-old nephew is obsessed with cranes "Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will happen." This phrase swam into focus as I moved up the escalator at Oxford Circus tube on Tuesday morning on my way to put myself "on tape" for a part in Spider-Man 4 . This is the acting equivalent of the London...

My marathon training continues. Last week I started a much more detailed 6-month programme that puts me through some shorter runs during the week, building up to a much longer one at the weekends which increases incrementally as the weeks go by: I plan to be running 15+ miles by January! Since May of this year I have been out running approximately 40 times. Although I have not lost lots of weight my...

Britain's greatest marathon runner ready to set the pace on the streets of New York this Sunday Up close, Paula Radcliffe looks even more sparrow-like and vulnerable than when bobbing into the distance ahead of wrung-out rivals who usually get only one view of her spindly, ruthless brilliance. Her eyes shine and she talks like she runs, relentlessly. Radcliffe seems eager, anxious almost, to ease...
