This is the second successive year RunEatRepeat.co.uk has reached the final shortlist of best blog award at The Running Awards. Once again, it’s a real privilege to be associated with some amazing running bloggers I enjoy following.
Thank you to every reader and follower who makes this blog the success it is. In particular all runners who agree to be interviewed and share their personal story – you continue to inspire runners of all ages and abilities
Some more fascinating runner interviews coming very soon
]]>With this being a global Awards, a total of 105 bloggers were selected, then 64 shortlisted. To then be selected as the winner from over 7,900 votes cast, I was incredibly grateful to my amazing readers, Rochdale Harriers and network of supportive people who influence and inspire me in some way. Thanks so much to every single one of you! To call the final 24 hours of voting nail-biting is an understatement. It became like a tight finish of an ultra itself – with the lead swapping places constantly until the final hour! This was the message received from the RunUltra team after the integrity of the votes had been verified:
