Five days of being tested, prodded, poked, stretched and loaded with weights on the PT course on top of the general travails of running every day for a year and I felt wrecked when I got up this morning. What to do? Crank the miles back up to five for today before hitting tomorrow’s big [...]

Another weird pain
This morning I didn’t feel like running. As part of the house refurb as we await the twins, I did some re-wiring of telephone cable in the week and managed to lose internet access for about 12 hours. I got it back on yesterday but couldn’t get the Sky TV on as well – for [...]

Farted on while running
Ferking heck… today I had the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me happen on a run. Now I’ve had some pretty dodgy things go on over the year… I’ve seen down the cracks of builders, almost crapped myself and had one woman pull her pants down and just start weeing, but today [...]

The day after the day after long run…
… is always the hardest. Despite taking it easy yesterday and only running three miles after running 13 miles on Sunday, today I was aching like heck. In fact, the whole thing is turning into GroundHog Day. Like the last time I trained for a marathon back in the winter, I seem to do a [...]

I've ran the length of the Humber Bridge three times a day – and other stats
Back to (an achey) five miles this morning on my normal circuitous route around Streatham and not one thing of interest happened on the way and not one bit of inspiration comes on what to write! The solution? Revert to a stats round up to fill in some blog space. So… I have now been [...]

Like a drowned rat
Day 325 today… just 39 more to go and I am truly getting to the stage where I cannot wait. This morning, I was working at The Express and had arranged to meet the deputy travel editor and my pal Duncan Craig there to go for a run. I’ve mentioned Duncan before, he’s the kind [...]

First rule of running club fails… and a new ailment
A particularly bad run this morning where for the first time ever, the First Rule of Running Club failed. For those of you who have missed any related posts, the First Rule of Running Club was devised by my pal David. The First Rule of Running Club dictates that you must got for a number [...]

PB over five miles
Despite having spent the week moaning about feeling tired and the number of niggles I’m getting, I actually woke up this morning feeling full of beans. It could have had something to do with the fact that I woke up and, instead of going straight out, waited a while until I woke up, had a [...]
