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 [...]

Fancy a 24 hour run?
There’s a race coming up in two Saturday’s time that I would have loved to take part in: the Adidas TR24. It’s a 24 hour cross country race for teams of up to eight over a 10km course. Basically, you always have to have one of your team running the course over the 24 hours. [...]

Mileage passes 1150 and getting burnt
So I actually passed 1150 yesterday with a 4.2miler but really didn’t have time to put anything on the blog about it so I’ve just updated the figures for yesterday and left it at that. I’ve been feeling a little sluggish since I upped the mileage to five miles a day over the last two [...]

Nothing on yesterday
I’d love today’s run to have been half as exciting as yesterdays but sadly, there were no young lads beating the shit out of themselves today. I did allow myself a bit of a lie in though – ha – starting my first run of the week, a 5 miler, at 7am. It was hot [...]

1,100 miles passed and "I can't wait for some chips"
So I know it’s not much of another milestone, given I passed my 1095 mile target just yesterday but today’s run took me past 1,100 miles so far. With the weather so warm, I’ve decided on gym days I’m going to split my run: run up to the gym, do some weights and run back…. [...]

Shocking experience at the gym
I was back in the gym for today’s run – once again I’ve left any strength conditioning to one side and feel bad about it. And once again, I’ve vowed to start going a couple of times a week again. I keep an old pair of iPhone headphones at the gym that go into a [...]

Screwing up the run at the gym
This morning I decided to run at the gym so I could get a weight session in afterward. To measure runs on treadmills accurately and prove I’ve done the run, I’ve bought a Garmin Foot Pod that links to my GPS enabled watch. Normally when I run outdoors, the GPS links to a satellite and [...]

Feeling a little sore
Hm, so yesterday’s gym session has left me a little sore… most of all in my chest from bench presses and in my upper thighs from squatting. Each arm stroke when running today saw a little tightness around the chest – in that weird pleasure-pain way, where it hurts but feels good. Great day for [...]

Back to the gym
I’ve not been to the gym in ages and felt that I was losing a bit of upper body strength and so I went to my local Virgin Active today doing three miles on the treadmill, followed by a decent weights session. On the treadmill, I found myself next to a young lad who looked [...]

The penultimate Brighton Marathon run
So the penultimate run before Sunday’s Brighton Marathon went well this morning. I didn’t really push it and also didn’t look at the Garmin again as I was running to check my speed and still did under 9mins 30secs a mile. I also went to my last sports massage before the face. Lillian at the [...]
