Charlie Allenby

I'm a London-based freelance journalist who has dabbled in triathlon and open-water swimming, but prefers things on dryland. I have completed numerous duathlons, sportives and marathons over the years (with a 2:43 PB in the marathon), while long-distance ultra marathons and multi-day bikepacking epics are his latest fixation. I'm the author of Bike London: A guide to cycling in the city, and regularly contributes to other publications like The Guardian, Cycling Plus, Rouleur and Runner's World.
