Deep Heat

After the 10 miler on Sunday i have been rubbing copious amounts of this stuff into my legs. I took a 2 day rest and then managed to get out for a quick 4 miler.

Got up had some Porridge and hour later i ran a 10 miler. I haven’t run into double figures for quite a long time and just felt like going a bit longer than usual today. Felt good all the way round.

Last night i managed to get out and do just over 4 miles and because i haven’t run for a couple of days i did what i always do and shouldn’t do and that’s run to fast. I was averaging just under 8 minute/miles and just over 8 minute miles in the hilly bit. So [...]

Taking It Sleazy

Giving my legs a rest day today.

I am trying to mix up the types of runs i do so i don’t stagnate by doing the same old distance and pace. At work i went to do some hill reps on surprise surprise a big hill. It’s called Moel Fendig and looks OK from the bottom. I was literally blowing out of [...]
