Just got back from a 4 miler. I had a few Guinness last night not many just more than one and i felt it today during this run. Race weekend this Sunday it’s advertised as an undulating 10km……eeps!
Ran 4.21 miles in 34:19 @ 8:09 min/miles pace

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 [...]

Just got back from a looped 8 miler. The route includes a massive hill. I say massive it’s not that big but it is huge. I finally did a run i intended to do before i did it if that makes any sense at all? I usually just run and see how i feel and [...]

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.

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 [...]

Went for a 5 miler at work this afternoon. This route is very undulating and according to some geeky graphs from the GPS data it involves a higher accent in elevation in total than decent but in my head that would make me finish at a higher point than when i started because i started [...]

Back training now ready for another race which is booked for 7th March it’s another local 10km and i will not drink a drop of beer until that race is finished.
I went for a 3 miler this morning which went surprisingly well.
Ran 3.12 miles in 25:44 @ 8:15 min/miles pace,

3.5 miles in the hills yesterday which without any shadow of doubt was one of my best runs in months. I felt fitter and stronger all the way round. I went for a 4.5 miler at home this evening which was a bit of an effort after yesterdays pace.
I got a new pair of trainers [...]

Saturday morning i went for 4 miler at home. Today i went for a 6 miler down the beach. It was rather blowy down on the front. I got caught out on the way back where a slightly freaky wave came rushing up on the path and completely soaked the bottom half of my legs [...]
