5M Winter Series wi Gill
I’ve started up running with Gill again on Thursday mornings before work. I meet her at 630 and it’s a good way for me to make sure I get out of bed for a good 5 mile run, and I … Continue reading
Thursday Thoughts
After my run this morning, I had quite few thoughts for Thursday. 1. It seems that Spring has finally sprung! I haven’t run in the morning for over two weeks (due to my cold and forced rest)… and this morning … Continue reading

Wk9 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
Thursday morning and I met Gill at 6:30am for our 5 mile run from Bellahouston around Pollokshields. I hadn’t had a lot of sleep last night as I was up late playing around setting up my Lorn Pearson Trains Facebook page. … Continue reading

Wk7 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
I thought I’d get Gill to do some speedwork today. She wants to get faster over 5 miles and speedwork just might help her to do that. We’ve been doing the same 5 mile route over Winter: from Bellahouston, along … Continue reading
Wk6 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
It’s now two days after my long run (26.2 miles up Gleniffer Braes) and I must be doing something right as I’m not stiff from it and my energy levels are fine. 🙂 Woo hoo. steak It must be that … Continue reading
Wk4 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
Monday morning and I really struggled to get up to go for a run this morning. It’s lucky I was meeting Gill or I would have probably given it a miss! I woke at 2am, couldn’t sleep, then started to … Continue reading
Wk3 – Circuits wi Gill
Wednesday morning and I had a great long sleep the night before. I was adamant I’d get an early night… so I went home, made some leek (and – ahem – potato) soup then was in bed by 7pm! (I … Continue reading

Wk3 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
After missing my run with Gill on Monday morning (due to lack of sleep on Sunday night) I’d arranged to meet her on Tuesday morning to do our 5 mile loop instead. I felt ok, if a little tired when … Continue reading

Wk2 – 5M Winter Series wi Gill
Monday morning, week 2 of my training. I was keen to see if I would still feel the niggle in my hip flexor (I felt a strong niggle there on Saturday night after the torture of the hills and wind … Continue reading
Wk50 – Circuits wi Gill (incl barbell weights)
Wednesday morning and I’d had a crap sleep. I woke up at 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep… but lying there (not sleeping) I came up with an idea of how to mix up our circuits a bit. I’d … Continue reading
