*** 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 […]
Xmas Eve: Saturday 24th December I did it !! #100 done ! All sub 2hrs and 100 different routes! Challenge is now complete and I feel a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I never doubted I wouldn’t complete it, I always knew I could do it and was confident in my training […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
#59 Thursday 28th July #59 done and it wasn’t easy but wasn’t as tough as I expected ! After a week rest in Aruba with only one 5k run over there that felt like a 10k in the humidity and heat even at 6am, and a total of 10 days break from long runs, I […]
Wednesday 8th June: #47 was the hardest so far and my slowest solo run to date at 1: 48′ I took my beagles for a walk early in the morning and weather was cloudy and cool. By the time I started my run at 12pm (silly me, never again!) it was boiling hot and not […]
Sunday 29th May: Run #44 completed early in the morning in Wales. It was a good one for many reasons, good because of change of scenery and specially because it’s on the same bank holiday and in the same place that exactly 5 years ago I went for my first ever run! This is where […]
Sunday 15th May: #39 done 😃 Chester Half course is undulating and challenging but not gruelling, very balanced with a good number of climbs, a few long downhills and nasty hill on the last km just before the short flat straight to the finish line not far from the Clock in the city centre. I […]
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 […]
