Well it’s too bloody hot for a start but aside from all that, things have been progressively nigglingly horrid for most of the day. As part of my PT course, I’ve been learning about dose-response curves. Basically, this means there is a response every time you give a dose of something. So when you exercise [...]

A thousand and ninety five apologies
I went out for drinks and dinner with my best bud Dave tonight and he told me a few home truths about this blog: ‘Dude, it’s getting boring,’ he said. And he’s right. I know it is… and I am sorry. All I can say is try finding 249 ways of making running three miles [...]

Now with added shin splints
So I feared the worst when I went to see Lillian, the sports masseuse at Virgin Active in Streatham yesterday and she confirmed it within seconds of touching my legs. ‘You’re starting to get shin splints.’ It’s the two words most runners dread and, having suffered before, I knew the telltale signs were there all [...]

DOMs could leave me feeling jolly?

The first run after the first half marathon
In the excitement of finishing the Porstmouth Coastal Half Marathon yesterday, I totally failed to notice I have now run more than 600 miles in the last five months! Today was pretty tough – Im shifting at a private jet company, working on their customer and staff mags and so had to be up early… [...]

Sometimes you just don't feel like running…
… and today was one of them. On top of a slight cold I’m sure I got by taking an ice bath after Sunday’s 15 miler, my legs are still slightly sore from that run and my chest muscles ache from a weights session at the gym yesterday. To top it all, I hardly slept [...]

Ouch, ouch, ouch
Really stiff from yesterday’s 15miler and my left calf has quite an ache, so I spent today’s run going very, very slowly on the treadmill at the gym. Ice and paracetamol on their way to help out… Click here for full details of the day’s run Miles today: 3.01 Target: 447 Miles to date: 572.94 [...]

Back on the Brighton road in Blighty
After a week running in Walt Disney World, it was back to the UK today … sapped of energy after an eight hour flight that was one of the bumpiest I’ve ever flown. A day off Valentine’s and with no decent cards in America, I ended up coinciding the run with a bit of VD [...]
