Another three, early today. I’m off out after work and so had to get the run out of the way today. I took it easy and it was uneventful, thankfully! I say easy, I mean I didn’t really, by the end. I sort of aimed for breaking 24 minutes. I held a roughly 8 min/mile [...]

I’ve been feeling annoyed all morning. I don’t know why. I decided I’d better get the run done and went off out (in shorts at last) for a run. I kicked off with a sub 7 pace and this continued throughout. I couldn’t quite remember what my best 3 mile time was, but I knew [...]

I’d left the run until very late today. Very late. I headed out and found myself around a 7min/mile pace and very comfortable with that. I actually felt like a runner for once, I felt like running worked ok for me. That lasted about a mile. Then I began to feel the tightness in my [...]

I left the run until late afternoon. My left ankle is very dodgy, just like a few weeks ago when it went ping so I’ll be very cautious. I cannot walk down stairs with any control or indeed composure! Every muscle in the lower half of my body aches a lot. I still have a [...]

So, we’ve made it this far. The big one is tomorrow. By the afternoon, somewhere around 10,000 of us will have finished another marathon. Hopefully. I headed down to Brighton this morning as early as I could get my ar$e out of bed. I was sat outside a certain well known coffee house next door [...]

The doc says sprained shoulder, limited range of movement. Great. They’ve given me crazy strong anti-inflammatory pills. Fingers crossed by Sunday they’re doing a good job. Today they’re not. Pain started within a few yards and although it’s not as insanely bad as yesterday (though not far off), it’s a significant distraction from running. And [...]

It’s cold and worse, it’s raining. I hate running in the rain. Just a quick three today. I’m truly into winding down as far as I can, given the challenge, in anticipation of Brighton on Sunday. It’s been a long while since we’ve had a guest post. Anyone doing Brighton on Sunday and like to [...]

I ran the second longest run of my life! I was up and out the door at 0730, only to find the car was thick with frost. Not what I wanted to see! After some furious scratching at the windows and a few minutes with the blowers on in the car, it finally seemed drive-able. [...]
