I’m still sore and still haven’t taken any ibuprofen for three days and so this morning’s run saw me take a go-slow around Tooting Common. I’ve also signed up to go and visit the sports injury clinic at Crystal Palace next week to see if they can do anything to get rid of the tightness [...]

Trying to plan ahead to the upcoming races
After yesterday’s mammoth, I left it till the early evening to go out and run today, which is a shame as after a lovely sunny day, it was getting chilly again. I decided to run Streatham Common to get some hills back into the training and actually felt surprisingly good though, naturally, a little stiff. [...]

Seriously concerned about an injury
I was supposed to do a long run today as part of my training for the Brighton Marathon, but it would have been impossible. I’ve still not really recovered from last week’s Portsmouth Coastal half marathon and Friday’s 20-mile cycle into the peaks, three-mile run yesterday morning and 12-mile hike yesterday afternoon haven’t helped – [...]

Why you should always pooh before running
Still with a bit 0f soreness from Sunday’s Posrtsmouth Coastal Half Marathon and with a shift to do in town, I was up early for what I thought would be a nice, slow recovery run this morning. In a bit of a rush, I threw some clothes on, wolfed a banana and went out. Regular [...]

The hills are alive
As part of my regime for the Brighton Marathon, I was supposed to do some hill training last week while in Orlando. Pushed for time though and given Orlando is as flat as one of this Tuesday’s pancakes, I’d missed it out in favour of a flat run and so decided to do it today. [...]

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 [...]

Day 150 and thank heaven for sports massage
For Natalie Onions – as mad as me Crickey, day 150 and still feeling very tender after Sunday’s 15miler… this training for the Brighton marathon is taking its toll. I felt even more tender when I visited my sports massage therapist Lillian this morning. When I told her where it hurt, she started sucking her [...]

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 [...]

Signed up for the disney Marathon
Very excited yesterday to find out Disney actually hosts a marathon around Walt Disney World in Orlando every January that runs through the four parks – I’ve already put my name down to come back next year and run it. This morning’s run was another dark one as we have another early start but I [...]

Walt Disney World Orlando, run 3
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 [...]
