This Is Revel Sports – Running. Fitness. Tech.
A blog about beating your best created by a group of three runners (Alex, Michael, Esme).
We used the conoravirus pandemic as an opportunity to get fit, get outdoors and get running. This blog is our passion project, a way to share our adventure as we discuss all things: running, fitness and tech.

The Team Behind Revel Sports
Alex Randall
The lead editor here at Revel Sports. It was Alex’s idea to take our post-club-run chats and try to build a website out of them.
He is responsible for dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s when any of us have something to post. (Basically: it’s all his fault)
A ferocious 5K powerhouse on his day, Alex is known for not understanding the meaning of the term ‘negative split‘. That and his shocking training-wear choices.
Michael Paulson
Michael is a frequent contributor, which is a miracle to us as he quite literally runs for days with the rest of his time.
An ultra marathon specialist, Mike is the kind of guy who posts a 30K Morning Run on Strava before we’ve had our breakfast and prefixes it with the smart-assery:
“Guess I wasn’t feeling it today.”
He runs like he writes: slow with bits flying everywhere.
Esme Sanders
Esme is a frequent contributor who manages to stay much more neutral on these pages than she ever manages after a glass of wine at club night.
She is a 5K-10K specialist, albeit one with over twenty half-marathons under her belt.
Esme divides her time between a busy career, two kids, yoga, pilates AND a busier race schedule than anybody else can manage on Team Revel Sports.
