I thought I’d be sick of marathons by now but entering the Berlin Marathon Ballot back in November 2015 was far too tempting. Fast forward to January 2016, and we (Mike Webb and I) were in as an ‘international pair’.…
My Dad and I decided to enter the Berlin Marathon this year to tick completing a marathon off his bucket list of “things to do when I’ve retired”. We choose Berlin so we could visit the area where my late…

“I can’t believe I just got overtaken by a guy taking a f**king selfie.” And with those words ringing in my ears, I summited the Auckland Harbour Bridge on the only day of the year it’s open to foot traffic.…
