Off to run in America

Ash cloud permitting, I’m jetting off to Orlando this morning on a press trip to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Virgin Holidays – Sir Richard Branson is also going to be on the plane and so I’m hoping to get his thoughts on running given they’ve started sponsoring the London Marathon and he ran it last month.

Given I’m going away, I gave my Brooks Adrenaline trainers a rest today as I didn’t want to pack them while still damp so I reverted to my old Asics GT2150s that had been giving me a bit of gyp. As it was just a three miler locally, I wasn’t too worried about them bringing the old shin splints back…

See you tomorrow, from the other side of the Atlantic…

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.
