Another milestone was passed on this morning’s run – it’s day 256, so there are exactly 100 days left of the challenge. I took myself on one of my usual routes around Streatham, down Mitcham Lane and back home through Furzedown and it really did feel as though winter was back again. It was cold, [...]

So I went to bed last night with a knee that was aching so much I couldn’t sleep and woke up this morning with a knee aching so much it woke me up! A cup of tea, a banana, a couple of Ibuprofen and a story finished for The Times later and I went out [...]

So the good news is I managed to complete my three miles today; the bad news is, it wasn’t good and my knee is feeling pretty ropey right now. Among the lots of very nice messages I received yesterday, one from Andy Ratcliffe who reads the site said: ‘Hit the ibuprofen hard and the road [...]

The rest of the Friday, post-work was a write off for me. Throughout the day, I managed to get by just by burying myself in work and keeping busy, but by the time I got home I was zombified… Just enough energy to eat tea, watch telly for an hour and crash out. The good [...]

I’m not sure if there is such a thing as post,Marathon blues but I think I must be on a bit of a comedown, both physical and mental, from running the Brighton Marathon. The three miles a day I have to do have become a real routine part of my life. Get up, kit on, [...]

The burning pain in my legs has gone to be replaced by a dull, but bearable, pain in my shins. The big change though is in my energy levels. Post Sunday’s marathon, I’d been full of beans for the next couple of days, no doubt buoyed by actually finishing the bloody thing. But this morning [...]

I’ve finally sorted out some of the confusion over my time for the Brighton Marathon. Apparently my chip malfunctioned, I was one of 15 from 8000 whose chip didn’t work. So my time sent by them, which was adjusted to 3 hours 53 minutes, is the time it took me to finish from when the [...]
