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 [...]

A friend of mine came round this morning to run a planned 6 miler. So much better running with someone else. A hard week of training under the belt and it was about time i started putting some effort in.
Got plenty of races planned this year.

I got a new pair of trainers [...]

Thank God for this wonderful material. It was chucking it down before i set off for a 6 miler this morning and my running programme in my head said i needed to go for a slow one. So indeed i did. The first 3 miles into the driving wind and rain but the push on [...]

Incredible how much fitness is lost over such a short period of time. I went for a few 3.5 milers at work and they just turned into some of the hardest runs i have done in years. I went for a 4 miler this morning and i could feel tiny glimmers of energy that i [...]
