My role as Scotiabank Digital Champion culminated in Sunday’s race – the Scotiabank Vancouver Half Marathon AND my 25th half marathon or what I’m referring to as my ‘silver’ half!

Longest Day Road Race 5K

Bradley on the Run June 13, 2016 June 13, 2016 My Story / Race Reports

Through my relatively short running career, I’ve come to realize that I’m not a short distance runner. Yet, when the opportunity presents itself, I can’t help being lured by promise of finishing a race in under 30 minutes. Sooner to the finish line, sooner to the food! And while the …

Remember when I told you that I was a fan of running in the rain? Well, for the first 10k of this morning’s run, I was very much ready to retract everything I said before. Last week, I asked Coach Carey what my training should look like in the lead …

Back on Track – It’s All about the People

Bradley on the Run September 7, 2014 October 9, 2017 My Story / Training

It was touch and go for a bit on Saturday morning. After ‘running’ into the Forerunners gang last week, I had promised myself to be at this week’s clinic. Due to my summer hiatus, I’d been sleeping in on the weekend, so morning came early. But that wasn’t the issue …
