QuoteOctober 13, 2023November 20, 2023 rikroadrunnerLeave a comment

*** IMPORTANT: *** (I have gradually and responsibly increased my fasting hours and I also added my fast to my training a little at a time. If in doubt or on any medications please consult your doctor, make sure you are very well hydrated at all times specially on warmer days and keep some emergency […]

Thursday 8th December #97 done this morning in 1:47′ Started from Radbrook Community Centre at 9.30 Was raining when I started but only fine rain and sun was out and shining by the time I finished just after 11.

Thursday 1st December  #95 done this morning. Had a sore knee since yesterday, happened after training session with Marcus. I strapped it and smothered it with deep heat. It was a very icy cold morning and I made sure I did an extended warmup. Had to combine the run with work once again because of […]

Thursday 17th November  #91 done this morning and number of remaining runs is now in single digits 🙂 Mixed work and pleasure today ( do not try this at home) and after a long 10k session of hill training with Rob I carried on and ran the remaining 11k to complete the half marathon distance, […]

Sunday 6th November  #88, nice number, third half this week! Ran with Paul Williams, we met at the Gateway at 10.30, I ran a mile warm up to get there and Paul a similar distance from Copthorne. Tough course which I partly run before, but was very enjoyable. The pace we kept at was almost […]

Thursday 20th October  #83 done this morning in Welshpool with Paul Bowes. After commenting last week on Strava on one of his runs, he offered to drive me to Welshpool and run with me 🙂 Really enjoyed it, beautiful scenery filled with autumn colours. Route is flat and very easy to run on. Was very […]

#73 today! Took car for a MOT (didn’t pass) in town centre and started my run from there. Was very misty morning but was warm too. My intention was to get a decent time today, stopping less often for photos and selfies and recorded my fastest solo run since end of July at 1:43′ 🙂 […]

Wednesday 3rd August  #61 done this morning, 39 to go and now the number of remaining runs is in the thirties 🙂 Can’t believe seven months have gone by already!! Took it easy today, route was very random, many laps around town centre and in the Quarry. On Km 11 I saw Jenny and Stephanie […]
