Well it has happened, I have picked up a cold. I have a runny nose and a sore throat, just what you need to run with. I have not yet identified who I caught the cold from, but rest assured when I do I will deal with them! For todays run I decided to do [...]

It was cold and sunny this morning and my vision was much, much better than yesterday, whilst still not perfect it is better. I again attempted a recovery run this morning and it didn’t really work again, I still just can’t seem to get myself into the mode of going slower than feels natural. Funnily [...]

It was sunny this morning and I decided a road run was in order. After over a week of running in snow etc running on the road felt like running on a carpet. My body seems to have taken a bit of a battering over the last week, I can certainly feel certain muscle groups [...]

It’s Monday morning and I can’t decide what sort of run to do. Do I go long, on road or off-road? Then it hits me, I know, why don’t I do some interval training. Where the hell did that come from? Ok, so after a couple of minutes of wondering why I thought of this, [...]

What can you say about today, the sky was blue, the sun shining and yes it was bloody cold. It was a group effort today, me, Joe, KP and Roger and an easy paced run to Rickmansworth and back. The thing about todays run was that it seemed to go on forever, it could have [...]

Well surprise surprise it was cold again today. So it was that Roger, Joe and me set off for a steady 3 miles, there were no encouraging comments today just ones along the lines of “you must be mad” or simply just “why?” Well to all the doubters the answer is simple, it’s because we [...]
