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 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 […]
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 […]
10% Complete #7,8,9 and 10 Sunday 24th January: 1:40′.17″ Half #7 done, my second fastest time this year so far, was very warm and tough going even on an easy course, not surprised, I’ve ran 33 miles in four days including a sub20′ parkrun ! The good news is that I’m having three days rest, […]
Thursday 14th January: #4 was easy peasy, picked a route that I regularly use, with a few climbs but nothing too strenuous. Was a cold and windy morning, my finishing time was 1h 44′ 02″ my slowest to date, but that was part of my plan because of a little backache I’ve had for […]
My first three 13.1 miles runs done and dusted and only 1270 miles to go 😃 Felt so good starting my challenge on the 1st of January in the Quarry at Shrewsbury parkrun, my favourite running event. I joined 222 parkrunners and the support was overwhelming . It was nice to get a mention by […]
How do you train for 100 Half Marathons? 4 key points to follow… I asked myself this question a couple of months ago when I thought about next year’s charity challenge. There are no plans or rules out there for anyone who is planning such a challenge. If you are an experienced runner and […]
75% of our body is made of water and we should try and keep it that way. Dehydration will cause: 1 – Fatigue: water is most vital source of energy in the body, lack of it causes enzymes activities to dip and slow down resulting in tiredness. 2 – High Blood Pressure: When fully hydrated […]
