Nice to see the kind folk at Garmin are keeping an eye on 1095miles.com… No sooner had I mentioned in a post last Sunday that my old 405 was on its last legs, they got in touch and asked if they could send me a new one to replace it. Not one to look a [...]

Going back to the past
As the challenge comes to an end, you may have noticed I have gone back to three mile runs. There are two reasons for this, one is that with my long run mileage increasing at the weekends in preparation for Athens, keeping five miles a day going is unsustainable given my proclivity for a nice [...]

More pain, much more spam
So I was still hurting today when I went out this morning, even having one of those days where I was up early (5am) and kept putting off going out til much later. Just 16 more days to grit my teeth through! While I’m enjoying the new site and Im excited about Andy taking it [...]

The new look 1095miles.com
First of all, apologies to anyone trying to read today who could not get onboard – but we’ve been migrating the site to the new, fresher design that can do some cooler stuff like actually displaying the Garmin/Google maps on each post so you don’t have to click through if you just want an overview [...]

The return of shin splints
I managed to get myself in a right old tizz this morning. Late last night, I started testing migrating the blog from being hosted by wordpress.com to wordpress.org. While most people will now be going ‘huh?’ it’s quite a big change. WordPress.com allows you to host blogs on their servers but in exchange for the [...]

Changing the breathing technique
Today’s the last day of my advanced gym programming course that contributes to my personal training diploma, leaving me a couple of weeks to embed all the information – and there’s a lot of it – until my assessment. While I think I get most of it, it’s only when you actually start revising the [...]

Thank God bad days only last 24 hours
I felt pretty dreadful for most of the day yesterday – in fact, that’s rubbish, I felt awful all day… After heading into town for my PT course, it dawned on me that I’d had a pretty heated conversation with some travel industry colleagues at the leaving do and so sent them an apologetic text. [...]

The hangover runs are the worst
I was very silly last night. It was Stephanie Boyle, PR manager at Visit Britain’s leaving do and I’d said I’d pop in for a couple after my course as I had to be up early to go again. Best laid plans and all that… I ended up leaving at 11pm, a mixture of red [...]

Sore points – lots of them
Yesterday’s stop-start running shenanigans where I started three separate runs in a short space of time have left me feeling pretty sore. There’s a whole lot of chafing going on, while by warming up and cooling down, I’ve also a bit of a sniffle… When the cat alarm (thanks Mini) went off this morning at [...]
