Autumn Morning Run and Training Update

The first day of autumn and the sun was shining over Aldwincle Lake this morning when I ventured out for yet another "recovery run". This is running for enjoyment and pleasure, with no pressure to perform well. It is not about PBs or heroics  or building resilience, stamina or muscle. It is to keep the … Continue reading Autumn Morning Run and Training Update →

Another Barefoot Mile

It is that time of year again, relaxing on the Black Sea coast at Shkorpilovtsi. But my body needs a gentle reminder that demands will still be made of it, never mind being on holiday. Hence my traditional barefoot mile run along the shoreline, enjoying the feel of the sand and surf underfoot. I did … Continue reading Another Barefoot Mile →

Naturally Reserved

For completeness, I bring you my latest training run.... 4th July The goal for today was to have a gentle recovery run in preparation for my race on 6th July. I chose Titchmarsh Nature Reserve because by nature I'm reserved! Haha, only joking - I chose it because it offers a fairly flat run around … Continue reading Naturally Reserved →

Positively Inclined, On the Line and Partly Submerged

The title describes my three most recent training activities. Of course, I like my titles to work hard, so we can extract some further meanings as the post progresses. I want to get my money's worth. 28th June I thought it was important to try to rediscover my old training habits by including a bit … Continue reading Positively Inclined, On the Line and Partly Submerged →

Slow Train to Fitness

I spent a long time trying to come up with a title for this post. In essence, it is another "catch-up", summarising my training to date during June. I looked for suitable quotations about June to help disguise the repetitive theme of catching up, but that would have come across as too contrived. I found … Continue reading Slow Train to Fitness →

Another Catch-up

  Hey, I am the catch-up runner! Well, I try to catch-up with those in front, but not particularly successfully. In fact, it is difficult to even catch-up with myself at times. Often my mind has raced ahead when I've been out for a training run, and only later have my legs caught up. It … Continue reading Another Catch-up →

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. Rumours are afoot that we could be facing a DEXIT, and who … Continue reading Dark Satanic Treadmills →

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 →
