Yesterday’s Cotswold Hilly 100 was everything we love about this sport tough miles, big hills, and an unbelievable effort from every single South Birmingham Strider. The whole team dug deep and absolutely smashed it.

Great to catch up with our friends at too always a pleasure seeing you out on the course.

For me, it was a battle. At mile 4 my diabetes hit hard and my sugars crashed to 2.2 mmol/L. I had to stop and ask a generous runner from for a gel just to stay upright. By the time my support team caught me at 5.5 miles, I was in a bad place.

But three gels later, I came back to life and started galloping my way to the finish.

Thank you to everyone who checked in, supported, and pushed us on. I love this event and will 100% be back next year.

XC Cofton Park parkrun — Official Approval Secured!

I’m really pleased to share that we have now received written approval from Birmingham City Council for the new Cofton Park parkrun. This has been a long journey, and getting this confirmation in writing means we can finally move forward with setting up the event.

We already have £2,000 generously donated, and a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. Your belief in this project has helped get us to this point.

To bring this event to life, we now need to raise the final £2,000. We’ll be reaching out to local businesses, clubs, and community partners to help us close the gap — but any support, big or small, will make a real difference.

This parkrun will be huge for the community. It will bring people together, inspire healthier lifestyles, and create something that leaves a lasting legacy for years to come.

If you’re able to support, please consider donating using the link below.
Together, we can make Cofton Park parkrun a reality.

🧡 South Birmingham Striders — What. A. Day.

Yesterday our SBS family took on the iconic Rhayader Around the lakes a 30km of pure grit through the Eden Valley, over 1,700ft of climbing and some seriously savage descents but some stunning scenery.

What makes this even more special?

Most of this group once believed they’d never run more than a 10k. Yesterday they tore up that belief, pushed past every doubt, and crossed that finish line with heart, courage and seriously impressive times.

This is who we are.
We push each other.
We back each other.
We achieve the things we once thought were impossible — together.

And while most of SBS are resting those well‑earned legs today, we’ve still got Chris out in Paris proudly flying the flag and showing the French what South Birmingham Striders are all about.

Me and Joe couldn’t be prouder of what this club has become. The spirit, the community, the belief it’s something special. Here’s to smashing expectations again and again.

SBS — you’ve done us proud. 🧡

The last few weeks haven’t been easy. My diabetes has been all over the place after my pump and sensor broke. It’s been exhausting sleepless nights, constant adjustments, and the heavy weight of diabetes burnout.

Now I’ve got a new pump ,but even that takes time. It has to learn me before it can truly work the way it should. And in the meantime, I keep showing up.

Because here’s the truth no matter how crippling diabetes can feel, no matter how tired I am, I refuse to let it define me.

I still go out there and give 100%. Every. Single. Day.

Diabetes is something I live with it is not who I am.
Don’t let your condition become you. Live your life boldly, and make your condition adjust to you. 💪💙

What an amazing day at Combe Abbey today! 💥

Some truly superb performances from the South Birmingham Striders crew, and to top it off we finished 4th in the entire league — an incredible achievement and a real statement of where this club is right now.

From where we were just two years ago to where we are today, the journey has been unreal. The growth, the commitment, and the belief across the club has been something special to watch.

We’re not just about fun, performance, and great socials (although we still do those brilliantly 😄). We’re now stepping things up with nutritional support and sports psychology, delivered through Sport Hub, because developing our athletes properly matters.

Looking ahead, 2026 is going to be huge. After finishing 4th this year, promotion is firmly in our sights next season. Big goals, big plans, and a club that’s ready to go places — I genuinely couldn’t be prouder of what we’re building together.

Next socials coming up:
🎯 Paintballing
🏃 Rhayader Around the Lakes 30k

Trust me… this is the place to be in 2026 🔥
South Birmingham Striders — watch this space. 💙🖤

Great session last night despite the low blood sugar.

Just lately my sugars levels are playing games again which I reckon is due to a faulty sensor.

I will get a strategy together to sort it out soon before Chicago and Valencia.

It is an honour to talk at the England Athletics Running Club Hub at this year’s National Running Show. It was my second year being invited to talk, and it truly felt just as special as the first.

I hope everyone who came along found the talk interesting, engaging, and a real reflection of what makes our running club so unique. This club means a lot to me ,it’s taken an incredible amount of dedication from the founders and every single member to build it into what it is today. Being part of it is something I’m genuinely proud of, and the future looks brighter than ever.

We’ve got more events planned for this year, more opportunities to grow, and even more chances to bring people together through running.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to listen to me share something I’m so passionate about. Your support means everything
