TrailKube

Yesterday, Sunday June 7th, I ran the Wendover Woods Trail Half Marathon - and what a great run it was - so I just had to write a review!

I had the chance to sit down recently and talk about something that’s been quietly building in the background for a while…

👉 how TrailKube came about
👉 why trail running has become such a big part of my life
👉 and how personal experience can turn into something you want to share with others

The conversation covered everything from running near Volcanoes National Park to the idea behind TrailKube — helping people cut through the noise and just get started.

It’s interesting reflecting on it afterwards — because none of this was planned when I started running

It’s just grown from doing the miles, figuring things out, and wanting to make it easier for others. And then building something.

If you’re interested, you can listen in via the link in the first comment below:

And if you’ve ever thought about trying trail running — that’s exactly why I’ve started running small, beginner-friendly experience days as well.

I’ve finally pulled the trigger on something I’ve been thinking about for a while…

On Sunday June 28th I’m running a small-group Introduction to Trail Running Experience Day at a beautiful venue (Ecton House, Northamptonshire).

This is aimed at anyone who’s thought about giving trail running a go — or wants to feel more confident off-road.

No pressure, no racing — just a relaxed, guided day learning, exploring, and enjoying the trails.

I’ve kept it to just 8 places so it stays really personal.

If it sounds like your kind of thing (or you know someone it might suit), just drop me a message 👍

Totally updated Website Now Live

After a fair bit of work behind the scenes, I’ve completely rebuilt the TrailKube website.

The aim is simple — to make it a proper hub for trail runners, with things you can actually use, not just read.

There’s now:

Training sessions you can download and follow
Kit and gear reviews based on real use
Nutrition insights
Event write-ups and experiences

It’s still growing (and always will be), but it’s now in a place where it’s genuinely useful.

If you’re curious, have a look, the new menu is kinda funky!

Would love to know what you think 👍

I’ll be at the GoBeyond Ultra in Northamptonshire this weekend with TrailKube.

I can't wait to see the sun shine on all of us: Runners, Marshalls, Spectators. Everyone.

More than anything, I’m interested in the conversations — how people organise their kit, what race morning actually looks like for them (It's always difficult to see what it looks like when you are in the thick of it yourself!), and where things tend to go wrong (or right).

If you’re racing, good luck — it looks like another great event from my buddies at Go Beyond Challenge.

And if you’re around before the start, feel free to come over and take a look or have a chat.

I’ll share a few reflections after the weekend.

What if the only metric that mattered…

was how much you enjoyed your run?

No splits.
No zones.
No constant tracking.

Just a simple plan that fits your life — and actually makes sense.

This FREE "50K Ultra Training Planner" strips everything back:

→ Clear weekly structure
→ Train by feel (not numbers)
→ Built for real runners, real lives

Train smart. Train simple. Train you.

A couple of years ago I ran the Chiltern Ridge Trail Half - here I recall it ... and maybe want to go back this year

I’ll be bringing TrailKube to the Pitsford Trail Races this Sunday with Race Harborough

It’s always a cracking event — friendly, well organised, and full of thoughtful runners.

If you’re racing and want to see how TrailKube keeps race prep calm and organised, come and have a look.

No more kit chaos.

See you there 👋
