Strange times #2
I’ve forgotten what it’s like to run solo. Forgotten what it’s like to push myself on a run. I’ve comfortably settled for enjoying social running instead of solo running. I found I got a lot more from running with others … Continue reading

Wk10 into Wk11
Last weeks training started off well, then I needed some rest at the weekend. I’d done three runs and 3 strength sessions and felt fine until Sunday, then day 1 of my cycle with a lot of cramps, and I … Continue reading

12M long run incl 3x2M Threshold
Tomorrow is my long run before the half marathon and I’m planning it to be a threshold / interval type run. The weather looks a bit rainy and not too warm or too windy. Hopefully it’ll be just right for … Continue reading

1kg+ difference
Weighing in today and I’m back up at 140lbs or 10 stone again. At 5’6” that makes my BMI just about 22.5… just above the mid range of the BMI scale. We know that BMI is a bit of an … Continue reading
