Happy Monday! I’m not in the office today because I’ve got an emergency dentist appointment this afternoon. I hope that you all had an awesome weekend. I think the highlight of my weekend was escaping from a very snowy Wallingford and actually managing to complete a training run. Week five of my London Landmarks Half Marathon training – the mid schedule peak – recommended that…
Good morning. Happy Monday. As always, I hope that everyone had an awesome weekend. After a slightly hectic week, I quite enjoyed spending a bit of time chilling out at home during the weekend. Week four of my London Landmarks Half training plan recommended that I completed a steady 45 minute run on Tuesday, a 60 minute easy run on Wednesday, a steady 45 minute…
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my last training update. I’m feeling a lot better now, not 100 per cent but well enough to function as a hydrologist. After failing to complete any training runs last week, I briefly considered repeating the second week of my half marathon training plan. I decided not to because week three didn’t look too challenging. So, week three…
I hope that everyone had a great weekend. Thanks to the lurgy, my weekend wasn’t the best; I didn’t even leave the house. I’m still feeling terrible this morning; fortunately I’d already booked the day off as flexi. Week two of my half marathon training plan – getting started – recommended that I completed an easy half hour run on Monday, a steady 50 minute…
I hope that you all had a great weekend. When this blog is published, I’ll be back in the office for the first time since December 21st. As quite a few people seem to enjoy reading my weekly training updates, I’ve decided to share my training progress in the lead up to the London Landmarks Half Marathon. I suspect the next three months will be…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this post as I needed a break from completing a slightly tedious job application. I’m also preparing to travel back down to Wallingford. I’m not looking forward to returning to my shared house. As a result, this blog may be slightly more ranty than usual. As always, all moans and groans and rants and raves represent my own views. Other, less negative…
Most of you will be aware that I’m a somewhat injury-prone runner. So as you can imagine, when the marketing manager for Supacore Compression, a compression performance wear company with a focus on injury prevention and rehabilitation contacted me, I was over the moon. They had found this website when they were searching for running blogs, and wondered whether I’d be interested in collaborating with…
Happy New Year! I hope that you all had an awesome Christmas and New Year. Here’s to a healthy, happy and injury free 2019. I can’t believe I’ll reach the grand old age of 40 at the start of May. As always, I’m acutely aware that people are getting a little fed up with all of the New Year’s resolutions and goals type blogs. I…
As 2018 is almost over – I swear January was only a month ago – I’ve decided to review my running highlights, lowest points and lessons learned throughout the year. As always, if you don’t enjoy reading lengthy posts I’d recommend that you close the page. Here are the links to my reviews of 2017 and 2016. January While most sensible people were out and about…
**Disclaimer: I’m writing this post while trying to shut out the noise one of my housemates is making in the kitchen. I’ve no idea what he’s cooking, but it’s taking him a long time. As a result, this blog may be slightly more ranty than usual. As always, all rants and raves and moans and groans represent my own views. Other, less negative running and…
