The body must be punished

Or that’s what it feels like anyway… my calves, particularly the left one, are still stiff after Sunday’s Portsmouth Coastal Half Marathon, and the blisters on my feet rub with every step of the run, sending shooting pains through my feet. I have no idea how I will be able to run in the day’s after the Brighton Marathon.

All that said, it’s worth the pain to still be glowing in the pride of a fairly decent time on Sunday. I actually looked up the full results yesterday… 207th from 800 runner and in the top 30 of my age group!

Check them out here.

What is 1095miles?

A streak running challenge where you run at least three miles a day, EVERY day, for a year - that's right, no days off.

It's also this running blog where you can follow people on the challenge and where and when they ran thanks to some nifty technology from Garmin that tracks them via satellite and shows off a host of other flashy stuff like their heart rates. You can even 'follow' their progress via a little icon that runs around the map at the end of each link.

We also hold the occasional informal run on Tuesday nights in London, meeting at Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner for a three-mile trot. Look out for posts of the next run. All ages and abilities welcome, it's a social gathering, not a keep-fit club - although being a bit fitter will be a happy by product.
