Good morning and happy Monday. As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read what is likely to turn into a longer-than-originally-anticipated blog had a good weekend. My weekend had a three highlights; volunteering as a parkwalker at my local parkrun, completing two interval sessions in 12 hours, and Wolves winning. The NHS Live Well website provided the following information about the interval…
Good afternoon. Happy(?) Monday. As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read this weekly life and training update had a great weekend. If for whatever reason, you didn’t have a very good weekend, I hope that the week ahead is kinder to you. My weekend had a couple of highlights; volunteering as a marshal at Sutton Park parkrun and catching up on…
Good morning and happy Monday. As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read what may well turn into a longer-than-originally-anticipated blog had an awesome weekend. My weekend had a couple of highlights; volunteering as a parkwalker at Sutton Park parkrun and the return of Gladiators. I decided to start again with the Couch to 5k training plan that is available on the…
Good morning and happy Monday. When this weekly training update goes live, I’ll be wading through the emails I received during my three weeks of annual leave. I can’t say I’m thrilled to be back at work. I wasn’t going to publish weekly training updates, but I love writing them and people have said that they enjoy reading my training (and life) updates and. I…
Happy Friday! I’m going to start by making what sounds like an incredibly selfish wish; I hope 2024 is an injury-free year for me. I know that there’s more to life than running, but I really hope I’m finally able to run consistently. After several years of injury problems, I hope that 2024 is the year I leave my injury woes behind me. I’m aware…
Happy New Year!! As 2023 recently came to an end, I decided to review my running highlights, low points, and the lessons I learned throughout the year. As like the previous three years I spent a chunk of the year injured and unable to run, I decided to share some of my non-running highlights and low points. If you don’t enjoy reading lengthy annual review…
My ‘True cost of running’ in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and in 2022 posts turned out to be quite popular, so I decided to work out how much I managed to spend on what I call running-related purchases in a year that featured a lot of parkrun volunteering, but not a lot of running. I decided to use the same categories; running clothes and trainers,…
Good morning and happy Wednesday. As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read what I suspect may well turn into another long blog had an amazing Bank Holiday weekend and start to the working week. My weekend had a few highlights; volunteering at Sutton Park parkrun, a win for Wolves, getting to check out what might turn out to be the new…
Good morning and happy Monday 🙂 As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read what I suspect will turn into another quite lengthy training (and life) update had an amazing weekend. My weekend had a couple of highlights; managing to run 2km without needing to take a sneaky walking break and celebrating Sutton Park parkrun’s fifth birthday. As the Couch to 5k…
Good morning and happy(?) Monday. As always, I hope that whoever takes the time to read what I suspect may well turn into another lengthy blog had an amazing weekend. My weekend had a couple of highlights; volunteering at Sutton Park parkrun and finding running for 1 km without stopping relatively easy. As the Couch to 5k training plan doesn’t seem to work well for…
