First of all, apologies to anyone trying to read today who could not get onboard – but we’ve been migrating the site to the new, fresher design that can do some cooler stuff like actually displaying the Garmin/Google maps on each post so you don’t have to click through if you just want an overview [...]

Sixteen miles and the Garmin starts to go
Back to a long run in the run up to the Athens Marathon today and, given I’ve got to do a load of studying for my course, I can’t really stay around too long to talk about it. To avoid last week’s long-run malaise where I ran out of gas, I made sure I had [...]

The hangover runs are the worst
I was very silly last night. It was Stephanie Boyle, PR manager at Visit Britain’s leaving do and I’d said I’d pop in for a couple after my course as I had to be up early to go again. Best laid plans and all that… I ended up leaving at 11pm, a mixture of red [...]

14 miles, 1,400 miles and running out of gas
As part of my training for the Athens Marathon, I had to do a 14 miler today… No problem I thought, after doing just over a half marathon last week. With more DIY and some paid-for writing work to complete, I decided to set off early and was out of the house for 7.30am, fuelling [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A half marathon distance around London
Thirty-five days of running left to go and it’s time to up the training for my piece de resistance, the Athens Marathon. According to my program, today’s long run should have been a 12 miler, so I roughly mapped out just over 12 miles using the walkjogrun.net site and set off, bright and early just [...]

1,350 miles
Not really that much to say today… thanks to my being ridiculously busy with DIY stuff around the house. The arrival of the twins means we’re having loads of work done in a rush before they get here and while we’ve had workmen in to fit new windows and stuff, I’ve been doing little tarting [...]

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 [...]
