BPTT Update for 28th April

Cutting to the chase, I have to announce that my pb streak has come to an end. I’m blaming the muesli. I’ve just started keeping a food log on my trainingpeaks account which means I have to weigh everything before I put it on my plate. I tipped the recommended 50g of muesli into my [...]

MTB Champ?

MTB Champ?

My time at Broadmoor is rapidly running to an end and I need to exploit this fantastic area before it’s out of my life, forever. With this in mind, Jason drove out today and met me at the Look Out for a blast around Swinley Forest on the mountain bikes. This is part of our [...]

Marathon lessons

1. Don’t even think about it! 2. Don’t consider it 3. Wipe it clean from your mind 4. Ok, if you’re going to do it, choose a nice light costume so you don’t feel like you’re running in a sauna. Seriously, I am knackered and all I was doing was taking photos, my god it [...]

BPTT Update for 21st April

The popularity of the Bushy Park Time Trial is on the rise. With almost 400 runners each Saturday you’d think there’d be at least one or two as slow as me. Not a chance – how did all those new runners get to be so fast?! Hardly anyone to chase at all this week, I [...]

The Beast is Back

My super little heart broken garmin has been returned. In fact the nice people at garmin have given me a brand new forerunner 305 as the original clearly had a terminal cardiac issue. Good warranty service, yay for Garmin! So I’m now having to sneak through Broadmoor security with two heart rate monitors, a strange [...]

BPTT Update for 14th April

Another successful run today and a whole new pb! I don’t know where they are all coming from but it certainly helps when I’ve got someone to chase or even better when I have someone hot on my heels – I run and squeal like a girl when I get chased. I was battling it [...]

Break Out

Break Out

Two weeks of working within a high security setting is starting to take its toll – talk about claustrophobic! I wasn’t sure if I could face another run this evening but after I made it through the fourth airlock to freedom, I just wanted to break free. I didn’t want to tie myself to the [...]

Run, bike, swim

Sundays now seem to be the day for upside down triathlons. This morning I nipped out for a short run around Chswick and Barnes Bridge to check out the aftermath of the boat race. Gorgeous morning, the river seemed to be teeming with kayaks for a change. After a longish transition involving the production of [...]

BPTT Update for 7th April

Don’t know what happened this morning but I slept through the alarm and only made it to Bushy Park by the skin of my teeth. Actually I do know what happened – I was playing around with new gadget, putting myself through my paces by trying out one of the fitness tests. I love these [...]

Death Knell for Size Zero?

Well I’ve resisted announcing it for a few days but I’m afraid the magazine article is now out. One good thing about it is that I reckon I am completely unrecognisable in it. My dad managed to find the relevant page in the magazine and then flicked past it as he didn’t think it was [...]
