Earliest run, fastest time

I’m media training today and need to be in town by 7.30, so I’ve been up since 4.45 and hit the road ten minutes later.

It’s a gorgeous time to run when you do it so early. Hardly anyone is around, no cars, just you, the odd street cleaner and the birds. The weather was gorgeous too… sun just up, not too hot, not too cold.. the result, on one of my most used runs to Norbury and back was a PB for a training three miles. I did the run in 24.30, that’s 8mins 10secs a mile – a pace I’ve only bettered when running the Leeds Half Marathon two weeks ago.

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.
