… 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I had a little bit more time on my hands this morning so managed to get out for a run around Walt Disney World when it was light but to also add on a bit of distance. Today, I headed left from the resort to Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge… not many people know that WDW [...]

A full day on our Disney itinerary today has us meeting at 7.30, so it was just after 5.45 when I went out this morning. I’ve not really got the time to do my two day’s speed training while here this week (each session takes more than an hour) so I think I’m going to [...]

Absolutely gutted that thanks to jetlag I missed the shuttle launch at 4.15 am this morning here in Orlando. The shuttle launch pad could be seen from my room in the Disneyworld Contemporary Resort in the dark night sky and a combination of the excitement of seeing it and jetlag saw me waking up every [...]

Today is day 140 – just the 225 to go! – and I’m upping my running distance at weekends in anticipation of the Brighton Marathon in April and starting to break new territory by running further than I ever have before. Normally my long run would be on a Sunday but even I’m not mad [...]

For Lillian I’m off to Disneyworld Orlando on Sunday for work for a week so I’m massively backed up when it comes to work stuff so this morning I went for an early three miler and was stiff as a board after my fast 5miles yesterday. Luckily, I’d booked my first ever sports massage at [...]

It was dark, wet, windy and cold when I set off this morning for a 5miler… so I decided to try and liven things up by running at a pace that approached that I’d hope to do if doing the Brighton Marathon under four hours. My first hurdle came when a broken down bus was [...]

I tried an interesting experiment today in the gym: run 1 mile (10 mins) on the treadmill, come off, do a Power Plates session and then run two miles (20mins). I say interesting, what I mean in knackering, sweaty and sick inducing. Marina, the PP instructor at the gym is a beast of a woman… [...]
