ExerPlan – Exercise Planning App
ExerPlan is the working title of a new app I’m working on, designed as a general exercise planner. In the past I used Excel to plan my running training.

Parkrun Top 100 Challenge
I have been running regularly for most of this year thanks to a kickstart provided by some “bad” blood test results which made me really question my health*. I immediately decided I needed to start running again, so I joined the Resolution Runners group in Newton. The group has motivated me to keep running, and… Continue reading Parkrun Top 100 Challenge
