  • You saw joy and you showed us how cruel you could be.

    I was stunned, angry and confused,

    Today I'll run.

    I will run in defiance of you.

    You tried to instill fear.

    When I see fear, I will conquer it,

    And I will run.

    I will run in defiance of you.

    You showed us your hate.

    When I see hate, I will show love,

    And I will run.

    I will run in defiance of you.

    You highlighted prejudice.

    When I see prejudice, I will teach inclusion,

    And I will run.

    I will run in defiance of you.

    You may claim your God is true.

    When I see religious intolerance, I will embrace all,

    And I will run.

    I will run in defiance of you.

    Your aim was to hurt.

    When I see pain, I will comfort,

    And I will run.

    I will run in defiance of you.

    You tried to take my voice.

    When I see oppression, I will fight for human rights - even yours,

    And I will run.

    I will run in defiance of you.

    You wanted to divide us.

    When we see division, we will unite together,

    And we will run.

    We will run in defiance of you.

    You will try to physically break me,

    To stop me from running.

    I will crawl.

    I will crawl in defiance of you.

    You will see my defiance and restrain me.

    I will lie and dream of freedom.

    I will dream.

    I will dream in defiance of you.

    You may destroy me.

    I will inspire others.

    They will run on my behalf.

    They will run in defiance of you.

    Your name is not important

    You have not succeeded

    We do not care what you think.

    We will run in defiance of you.

    And remember.

    Hi Everyone

    with this issue but the weather

    has been a bit behind too so

    warmer..

    We have a bigger than ever

    issue for you (number 8!),

    including some new contributors.

    Ultrarunner, Jonathan Mackintosh,

    has reviewed the Mizuno

    Cursoris for us whilst another new columnist, Chris Fielding, has

    been investigating gluten free beers. To complement this, Abby,

    a coelic sufferer, has kindly given us a very positive account of

    living with coeliac disease, whilst our nutritionist, Leigh Rogers,

    explains the pros and cons of alcohol.

    I had a great Skype chat with Danny Dreyer, founder of

    ChiRunning, whose spiritual approach to running has helped

    thousands achieve better running form (see page 52). David

    has been in his lab again beware if you drink out of plastic

    Togo Keynes (Njinga Cycle Tours & Training) gives us some

    pointers on choosing the right bike, whilst we offer some hip

    opening exercises to

    improve overall movement

    and running form.

    The usual news, letters,

    pics, etc. are sprinkled

    throughout, including a

    piece from someone who

    on the receiving end of a

    rants!

    issue to those affected by

    the events at the Boston

    Marathon and thank Kate

    Kift for letting us share her

    poignant words with you all

    (page 2).

    Run Strong, Run Free
