Good morning and happy Wednesday, I’ve got something slightly different today, some information about one of my favourite subjects; sleep. If you’ve been reading my Couch to Half Marathon weekly updates you will have probably noticed that I’m a fan of a nap. Since starting my new job in June, I’ve been struggling waking up and getting out of bed at 5:30am. Although I try…
I hope that everyone who reads this had a great weekend. Thanks to what is now feeling like a never ending cough and cold, my weekend was a little on the quiet side. I spent a bit of time on social media and fell into what I call the comparison trap. My weekend highlights were timekeeping at parkrun and losing a lot of hair. I’m…
**Disclaimer: This latest selection of rants and raves may be slightly more ranty than usual. I’m writing this after spending most of the day in bed with a migraine. I’ve said it before, but sometimes when life isn’t a bed of roses, it helps to have a bit of a rant. As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans represent my own views. Hundreds…
Good morning, I’m feeling quite chirpy as I had an extra-long weekend and I’m on annual leave today. I hope that whoever takes the time to read my latest training and sort of life update – thank-you so much – had an amazing weekend.My four-day weekend had a few highlights; breakfast with mum on Friday morning, a spot of parkrun volunteering on Saturday morning and…

I also hope everyone made the most of what may well have been the last sunny day on Saturday.My weekend had a couple of highlights; a spot of parkrun volunteering and a humid but enjoyable training run yesterday morning. The third week of my…
Good morning and I hope everyone who reads this had an amazing weekend. Apologies, I’m aware that I’m repeating myself and I need to come up with some new introductory sentences. My new job is so technically demanding, by the time I write my weekly update, my brain is barely functioning. My weekend had a couple of highlights; having a go at the volunteer coordinator…
Good morning and happy (?) Monday. I hope that everyone who reads this masterpiece of blogging had an amazing weekend. My weekend had a couple of highlights; a successful 3- mile training run and an epic Sunday roast. I’m always easily pleased when it comes to food. As a few people have said that they enjoy reading my training updates, I’ve decided to produce and…
Good morning and Happy Sunday. I hope that whoever takes the time to read this short update is having or had an amazing weekend. I’m blogging on a Sunday as my blog is due to go through a complete redesign over the next 24 hours. Regular readers will have noticed that there has been a slight absence of running related posts in this so-called running…
As always, I hope that everyone who reads this had an amazing Bank Holiday weekend. I’ve just about recovered from watching the last hour of The Ashes, I’ve no idea how Ben Stokes remained so calm. I’ve got something a little different on the blog today; some information about an awesome looking coffee shop which opened earlier this month in central Birmingham. I’m working in…
**Disclaimer: I’m going to apologise in advance, this selection of rants and raves may be even more ranty than usual. Sometimes when life isn’t great, it’s good to write things down and to have a good old rant. It’s just unfortunately that I seem to find communicating with people on the internet easier than talking to my own family. As always, all rants and raves…
