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. [...]

… 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I set out a little later today than yesterday and could actually see where I was running to! Our hotel, the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World looks over Bay Lake which joins with neighbouring Seven Seas Lagoon (where we zipped around on Sea Raycers yesterday, see Worldofjames.com) and there’s a path that leads someway [...]

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 [...]
