Christ, I'm hurting…

Five days of being tested, prodded, poked, stretched and loaded with weights on the PT course on top of the general travails of running every day for a year and I felt wrecked when I got up this morning.

What to do? Crank the miles back up to five for today before hitting tomorrow’s big run as part of my marathon program for Athens. We’re endurance runners for cripe’s sake, what else did you expect

Despite the niggles and sore bits, as per usual it was fine when I got outside and started running… but then again, it always is!

Keep it up James only 3 weeks to go!
BTW – I was wondering why you didn’t use the lap timer on your Garmin?

I don’t know to be honest… something I probably need to have a look at, I’ve never really used it!

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.

At least 3 miles a day, every day… for a whole year
