September blog: How to train for a half marathon
Micheal Bleasdale, 'The Chap' blogger reports on running a half marathon. We always need a challenge in our lives, and when I say we I mean us men! Overly competitive or not there is a natural inbuilt feeling that we must achieve something. A self-satisfaction you could call it to beat someone else or to improve on something you’ve done. For me it’s sport and exercise, it helps me think, de-stress and it also stops me getting fat! I’m now in my mid 30’s and if I don’t start looking after myself…..well when someone says I’m a growing lad, let’s just say it won’t be a compliment!
August blog: The perils and pratfalls of taking up a new game
Men's Health journalist Simeon de la Torre takes at taking up a new sport. There will be several times in a man’s life when he has to take up a new sport. (I say ‘has to’ because it’s not something we generally choose to do; we’re creatures of habit, and once we find something we like, we stick with it – as the continued success of U2 and Status Quo illustrate.) But while there are almost 8,000 sports out there, choosing the right one is an anxiety-inducing business.

May 2011: The ins and outs of man-bags: Simeon de la Torre
If I were in the pub right now, it would take at least three pints before you’d hear me say these words: I’m a big fan of man-bags. And thinking about it, it would take another five pints before I would ever (slurringly) admit that, I’d been a devotee since they first became popular. And no, I don’t mean in Hoxton, London, circa 2001. I’m talking old school: on the continent. In the early 80s.
