It's Grim Down South

Forgive me bloggers for I have sinned. It has been three weeks since I last got off my fat arse and moved faster than a shuffle. I was suffering from infectious slobitis and generalised exam anxiety, but that is over now and today I paid a big price for my excessive slothfulness. Sitting here shattered [...]

Kangoo Jumps

I feel like a true Amazonian warrior while standing in these kangoo jump boots, I must be towering way above 6ft. Shame I feel like a knock kneed bambi when I’m running in them. By popular demand, I dragged myself out of my sick bed to provide laughing fodder for the masses: They are quite [...]

Gardening, Jumping and a Hint of Running

I’ve been a bit quiet over the last few weeks but fear not, I have kept up with the running. A lot of visitors have passed through the WW household recently, which tends to make training a chore but visitor no 1, Rach, always offers to be my fitness instructor for the duration of her [...]

Hypochondria and GNR Week 4/10

Here’s a quick update on the GNR training status. Quite a low mileage week but at least the runs were taken at race pace. Race reports to follow. A scary article in Running Fitness suggests I should be up to 45 miles per week in my build up to a half – holy moley! I’ve [...]

Yesterdays ride was only supposed to be stage 1 of the workout, my intention was to get home, bundle the bike in the shed and get the running shoes on for a brick session. The idea is that if you regularly run directly after a long ride you get used to the peculiar feeling of [...]

I’m a bit out of sync with my posting but I wanted to slip in an update for the weekend which was quite active on the running front. Firstly my new shoes arrived: Asics Kayano X11′s and Asics Gel Trabuco trail shoes. The first pair were simply a direct replacement for my existing Kayano’s – [...]

Running Commute No 4

Despite a few resistant sniffles I reckon I am back on form and so today was time to push myself to run home again. Result: 10 km in 1:18:43 It was an interesting run, typically it was a struggle to start with and at the 2k stage I was patting down all my pockets to [...]

Odd Pains

I had a stonking week, managing to cram in an amazing 6 runs. I noticed this morning that I was really close to a record week so I decided to nip out again in the evening for second jog around the river. I left it a bit late though and it got so dark I [...]

Thames 10k Run

I really enjoyed the run this morning, I kept it steady and it was raining lightly so all in all I felt pretty comfortable. I turned the usual Chiswick and Hammersmith Bridge loop into a figure of 8 run to bring up to exactly 10k. Click image to enlarge I had been a bit worried [...]
