10 Miler

Filed Under Running | Leave a Comment

I haven’t run this far in a long time. A good friend (has to be to run with me) came with me and we kept a nice steady pace all the way round except for the last mile where we both pushed it which is turning into a bit of a habit now. The last mile has [...]

Got up this morning and went for a 4 miler. No scoff so i felt quite tired during the run. Went to Chester after the run to a specialist running shop to get some trainers. They have a treadmill and a camera to record the foot strike etc. Quite interesting to see the mechanics of [...]

Got our race numbers through the post today for the Farndon 10km race on the 7th March. I haven’t touched a drop of booze since the last disastrous race preparation and do not intend to. Always nice to get the numbers quite early because for me it puts a bit more focus on the training. [...]

The sun came out this morning while i was at work so not to miss such a rare event i stopped what i was doing put my running kit on and went for a run in case it only lasted a short period. The blue sky was welcome but could not disguise the blood chilling [...]

Got plenty of races planned this year.

Arrest.

Ahhhhh  Rest!!!

No work today so i got up early and went for a 4 miler. My legs were knackered after yesterdays efforts and after 3 miles i was really struggling. Gonna have a rest day tomorrow.
Now we are off bowling.
Ran 4.23 miles in 38:10 @ 9:01 min/miles pace

Just got back from what was supposed to be a long slow run but i ended up going to quick for the first 2 miles and ended up paying for it at about 5.5 miles feeling sick and slow. Sooo hungry when i got back and have just stuffed myself with an Omelette and a massive ham salad sandwich [...]

Tempo Run

I went for a 4 miler and ran it at what is now my tempo pace. Info gathered from various sources based on my 10km times etc. I don’t like running at this pace for me it is very hard going and nowhere is flat round here except the beach which  is windy most of the time.
I [...]
