About

I am a 35 years old and live in Devon, my job mostly involves sitting in front of a computer and speaking on the phone, and I’m bored….sound familiar?

My favourite way of busting stress is to get outside and enjoy myself, the only thing is that my attention span is also a bit rubbish and if I’m not having fun at something then I’ll soon stop doing it. Last year I got back into exercise as a way of enjoying being out of doors as well as a way of controlling my weight and my stress. I usually switch between cycling, running and swimming, depending upon my mood and the weather and have lost one and a half stone and started featuring a lot higher in the results whenever I take part in a sporting event. I don’t usually use any kinds of aids beyond a simple bike computer and my Memory Map Adventure 2800 (so I don’t get too lost).

I used to get bogged down in statistics and wasn’t really enjoying myself. All of my improvements have come along since my philosophy changed towards having a lot more fun!

The aim of this website is to let you know how I personally did this, as well as keeping you informed about relevent sports news, reviews of products that I use and plenty of useful tips to keep you going. It will be updated on a regular basis and feature plenty of photos and videos.

If you have any pictures or info that you’d like me to post and credit you with then simply email me. richard@bikerunswim.co.uk
