BPTT Update for 10th March

I really enjoyed the run this week at Bushy Park, I bumped into Rodiogirl and her daughter, who was preparing for her first assault on the time trial, and joined them both for the event. It was quite a novelty to run around the park with someone else, and the converstaion really helped to keep [...]

Running Commute No 6

Running Commute No 6

Shakti joined me for a short run around the block last night. She hasn’t been running for a few months so she was even more reticent than usual. I’ve said before that running is a ridiculously psychological sport but Shakti has got to be the most psychological runner I know. We start at a reasonable [...]

Running Commute No 5

Oh blimey it was a struggle today, as I type my legs are seizing up. During the run my legs felt like lead and the tarmac like sand, I only continued because I thought it must be good for the soul to suffer so greatly. I convinced myself that I would need to be prepared [...]

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 [...]

Running with Everytrail

I’m still intent on running home once a week, so today I repeated the exact same running route as last week. I again finished the 10k distance in 1hr 20mins, and was strangely within 15 seconds of my previous time. Given that it was direct replay of last weeks route, there isn’t much point me [...]

Running – The Purists Sport?

Running - The Purists Sport?

pure Originally uploaded by warriorwomen. Running is normally considered the minimalist sport, much favoured by purists who just like to pop on a pair of shoes and head out of the door to freedom. I somehow manage to thwart this image and see a necessity in spending the best part of a months salary on [...]

New Resolve

I woke to a new year and discovered a brand new grey hair slap in the middle of my forehead. Tis a feisty little critter, taking evasive action as I attempted a pincer attack with my thumb and forefinger. Looks like it will get to live out another day. Illness, injury, dark nights and life [...]

Yearly Progress

I’ve spent the last few days transferring my hand written running diary to SportTracks. I started my run/walk program at the end of 2004 and religiously kept notes of distance, time, weight and my general feelings. The garmin forerunner arrived around May 2005 and left the diary defunct as I was now automatically uploading the [...]

The Great River Race

I’ve had a really odd couple of weeks, the new job has kicked in and its been so varied I just don’t seem to be able to get back into a proper running routine. In fact I can’t get into any kind of routine. My first run after the hotel break felt great – the [...]

New 6.6km Run

Click image to enlarge I’ve really started to increase the length of my runs now. I blame it on the Garmin Forerunner 305 as it seems to be encouraging me to try out new routes so I can play with them on SportTracks. Here is a satellite screenshot of my latest training run, I’ve taken [...]
