No extra runs this week so Chester Half on Sunday 15th will be my 39th and not my 40th like I would have liked. I’m still one ahead of schedule and still have my two weeks break still in the bank 🙂 Saving them just in case I have an injury or will have a rest […]
Sunday 17th April: #31 406 miles done and 904 to go! Remaining runs are in the sixties now 🙂 Was sunny but really cold and windy in the shade, so I kept altering my route to stay in the sun 🙂 During my warm up, just outside my house, Shezz walked past and he wished […]
Sunday 10th April : #29 29th done in 1: 37′, but don’t be fooled by the time, it was hard work!! Beautiful morning, started with a little loop around the estate, then from Hubert Way up Ellesmere Rd all the way to the Two Henrys roundabout, right onto the A49, where I had to […]
Thursday 31st March : #26 Really enjoyed Half number 26. Weather was perfect, blue sky, sunshine, and quiet cool at 9am Started at Meole Brace Retail Park car park and ran without a planned route, ended up in Sutton farm, Abbey Forgate, Coleham, Ditherington and turned back. No toots to mention, but on Km 11 […]
Wednesday 23rd March: #24 done, 505Km gone, almost a quarter of my challenge complete 🙂 996 miles to go, finally number is below 1000! Was tough today, legs and especially hamstrings were still sore from last run, what do I expect after running 75k in seven days! Didn’t help the fact that I picked a […]
Thursday 17th March: #22 completed, 288 miles done, 1022 miles left. This time next week it will be under 1000!! 😀 I didn’t feel too much pain during the three days after Ironbridge and I thought it would be easy today. But it wasn’t! Legs and mainly the hamstrings felt really stiff from the word […]
Official time is 1:33’12” and finished 53rd out of 900 runners 😃 Tough race today but felt easier than previous years, weather was amazing and I was determined to beat last year’s time of 1:37’00”. I thought that running a parkrun at 19’30” yesterday might affect today’s performance but it didn’t. Was nice seeing so many […]
20% complete… Wednesday 2nd March: Today I completed Half Marathon #18 after only one recovery day since last one. Hamstrings are very sore and I’m slightly concerned about the left one. Will have a sport massage done tomorrow and see if this will sort it out. Could feel it hurting from the start but I […]
15-16-17 Monday 22nd of February : Half Marathon #15 of 100 in 2016 in aid of Cancer Research Uk 15% of challenge completed 🙂 196.5 miles down and 1113.5 miles to go !! (easy peasy) Had an extra day off after trying to get a PB on my 100th parkrun on Saturday, legs were sore […]
After Sunday’s race I thought I would give myself an extra day rest, a 13 miler at 6′.50″/ mile pace is a good reason for extra recovery. Originally I planned to run #14 on Wednesday morning, but I gladly postponed it because of work commitments and decided to move it to Thursday around midday. Then […]
