My ‘True cost of running’ in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 posts turned out to be reasonably well read, so I decided to work out how much I managed to spend on what I call running-related purchases in a year that thanks to me breaking a metatarsal in my left foot, didn’t feature much in the way of running from July…
Good morning and happy(?) Monday. I can’t believe it’s June. As always, I hope whoever reads my latest training and life update had an amazing weekend. If, for whatever reason, you didn’t have the best of weekends, I hope that the next seven days are more positive. My weekend had a couple of highlights, managing to complete Sutton Park parkrun and spending some time with…
Guest Post written by Dr. Antti Rintanen, MD, MSc I have a guest post for you today written by Dr. Antti Rintanen. I’m sure that you will find it interesting. Running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other – it’s a full-body activity that demands balance, coordination, and rhythm. While it’s often celebrated for its cardiovascular benefits, running also places…
Good morning. Happy Bank Holiday Monday! As always, I hope whoever takes the time to read this weekly life and training update had an amazing weekend. If, for whatever reason, your weekend wasn’t great, I hope the next seven days are more positive. My weekend had a couple of highlights; the fact it finally rained and that I managed to run for 20 minutes. The…
Good morning, and happy(?) Monday. Where did the weekend go? As always, I hope whoever reads this weekly life and training update had a fabulous weekend. If, for whatever reason, your weekend wasn’t great, I hope the next seven days are more positive. My weekend had a couple of highlights, managing to run every step of Beacon parkrun and completing some rather dull adulting tasks. For…
Good morning. I can’t believe it’s Monday morning again and it isn’t a Bank Holiday. As always, I hope whoever reads this life and training update had a fabulous weekend. If, like me, you didn’t, I hope that the next seven days are more positive for both of us. My weekend had a couple of highlights, Sutton Park parkrun and a Saturday lunchtime pint in…
Good morning. Happy Monday. As always, I hope whoever reads this life and training update had an amazing weekend. If, for whatever reason, you didn’t, I hope that the week ahead is kinder to you. My weekend had a couple of highlights completing Perry Hall parkrun and attending the soft launch of a new Mediterranean restaurant. For the reasons I outlined last week, I decided…
Good evening and happy Monday. When this weekly training update goes live, I’ll hopefully be working my way through my ‘things to do’ list. As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read what I suspect will turn into quite a long blog containing all sorts of randomness had an awesome weekend. After a few too many failed attempts at completing the Couch…
Happy Friday! I’m going to start by making what sounds like an incredibly selfish wish; I hope that the year ahead is an injury-free year for me. I know that there’s more to life than running, but I really want to be able to run consistently. After what feels like far too many years of injury problems, I hope 2025 is the year I finally…
As 2024 has almost come to an end, I’ve decided to review my running highlights, low points, and the lessons I learned throughout the year. As I spent several periods of the year injured and unable to run consistently, I decided to share some of my non-running highlights and low points. If you don’t enjoy reading lengthy annual review posts – I’m nosey, so I…
