Good morning and happy Bank Holiday Monday. I hope that whoever reads this latest rather random training and life update is having/had a great long weekend. So far, my long weekend has had one highlight, getting to the end of the second week of my Couch to 5k training. The second week of my Couch to 5k training plan looked like this. Apologies for the…
Good morning and happy Monday, well I think it’s Monday. I hope that everyone who takes the time to read this strange combination of training and life-related thoughts had a great weekend. My weekend had one highlight, a socially distanced and chatty run with Ellen in Sutton Park. Once again, I’ve decided to produce weekly updates as people have said that they enjoy reading my…
**Disclaimer: After spending all day wearing what feels like the world’s most uncomfortable headset, I have a feeling that this latest random selection of rants and raves may well be more ranty than usual. I’m sorry! As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans represent my personal views and opinions. And yes, I’m aware we are in the middle of a pandemic, however,…
Good morning and happy Thursday. I’ve got something a little different for you today; an insight into the websites I’ve recently found useful as a runner. Back in 2017, I published a Top 10 Websites for Runners blog. A couple of the websites no longer exist or are no longer updated, and I’ve been spending quite a lot of time on the internet these last few…
I almost called this post Try on my trainers: the lockdown edition but decided not to as like a lot of people, I’m trying to remain positive. Having said that, I probably should’ve called this post Try on my Crocs; one of the advantages of the current situation is being able to wear my Crocs, my feet feel great. I’m planning ahead and am already…
Good morning and happy Friday. Apologies for the blog silence, work has been keeping me busy, and I haven’t wanted to spend my evenings online. I was also a little reluctant to blog as I didn’t want to inadvertently offend anyone. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy this running survey. I originally got the inspiration for this post a few years ago. I’ve no idea…
I have a guest post for you today written by Matthew, I hope that you find it interesting. Matthew is a student at the University of Durham and author at Running101 – a relatively new running blog full of quality training tips, gear reviews, news, and so much more Apologies to Matthew for the delay in publishing this post. The mental side of injury is often overlooked…
Yes, I love Green Day and Wake me up when September ends is one of my favourite Green Day songs. It reminds me of a failed skydive attempt – it was too windy – in New Zealand. From what I remember, it was a case of third time (and location) lucky. I don’t want to be accused of trying to speed up time, but right…
As always, I hope that whoever reads this training and life update had a reasonable weekend. I feel a little reluctant to say ‘good’ weekend, as since I last blogged, life has changed and most definitely not for the better. I debated actually publishing this post as it contains a fair amount of what Geoff used to call self-pitying. I decided that if this post…
I hope that everyone who reads my latest training and life update managed to have a good weekend. Everything feels slightly surreal at the moment. Week six of the Couch to 5k training plan I’m following looked like this. Thanks to a combination of laziness and a niggly right knee, the reality was, unfortunately, a little different. On a slightly more positive note, my exercise…
