Today my cold was in full effect, I was properly snotty and hadn’t had a good nights sleep, so imagine my delight when it started raining just before we went out! The good thing today was that neither Joe or Roger were interested in a fast run, so that meant we were able to plod [...]

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 [...]

Today was one of those runs that seemed to come and go, it wasn’t very difficult, it wasn’t very fast it just happened. I’m not sure if Roger enjoyed the run anymore than me, but he also came along for the ride and seemed happy when it was over. It’s funny how sometimes you have [...]

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 [...]

With so much melting of snow going on last night I thought was an ideal opportunity to go for a run in the mud through the woods. So imagine my surprise when I hit the first trail to find a path that was covered in a sheet of ice, mmm, not on my plan! I [...]

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, [...]
