Author: Derek Lee

I was born in Croydon, South London and eventually settled in Northamptonshire. After more than 30 years as a clinical psychologist in the NHS, my welcome retirement finds me dabbling in bits and pieces - e.g., writing, running, martial arts and photography.

The Big Catch-up

Hello everybody! Is there anyone there? Maybe "everybody" speaks of a plurality that does not exist. Oh, it has been a long, long time since I last posted here. Hence the title. It has been quite a challenging start to the year with bugs and a persistent feeling of fatigue. This may be partly linked … Continue reading The Big Catch-up →

Dark Satanic Treadmills

Oh, there has been a slight hiatus in my usually very strict training schedule. We elite athletes need to keep to the rules, and I believe my membership of the Elite Running Club (ERC)  is under review following recent weeks of lacklustre training.

Dreadmill Friday

This morning found me prevaricating about where to run. Last night I had thoughts of returning to the Brampton Valley Way for a gentle run, but there was a definite chill in the air this morning. This was confirmed by our very technical weather monitoring equipment in the garden. Yes, the birdbath was frozen. Erring … Continue reading Dreadmill Friday →

It is the … Continue reading Yule Training Log →

Variation is the Very Spice of Running

While having a routine is an important part of training, doing the same thing all the time can get a bit boring. This risks undermining your motivation and sapping your enthusiasm. I have ostensibly structured my week around the main types of run, which in itself provides some variation. Herewith are some further variations... Route … Continue reading Variation is the Very Spice of Running →

Booster Rockets and Running from Lions

I can understand if the title seems a bit dramatic to describe my Recovery Plus run today, but please allow me to provide some context. My three year-old grandson (Noa) is still here, and, as you can imagine, this necessitates a shift in priorities. We have been to the National Space Centre in Leicester and … Continue reading Booster Rockets and Running from Lions →
