A pre-work run this morning and judging by the weather for the rest of the day it was a good move. The day dawned bright and sunny, not overly warm but ok and I had already decided to just run round the roads in Watford. So with a route set and the sun making an [...]

It was a run through the woods today, and we managed to avoid getting rained on! The trails through the woods have gone from being firm to having a slimy top covering of wet mud which is not great, either full mud or firm trails please not this horrible mess. In terms of pace it [...]

A slightly odd run today in that the route wasn’t really planned it just sort of happened and so could be considered to be random. On a random route you might have thought I wouldn’t have bothered to run any hills, but you would be wrong, I did throw in one hill and it was [...]

However, a couple of cancellations later and Joe was suggesting a lunchtime run. These seemed ok, and then he asked the dreaded question, how far? Before I had [...]
