The Things We Do For Love…of Running

Today's run was not particularly enjoyable in itself, but it was helpful in my quest to at least maintain a habit and a reasonable base level of running fitness. It was just 5k through a little seaside village, and where the pavement ends the wild stuff begins. Well, it wasn't that dramatic, it's just that … Continue reading The Things We Do For Love…of Running →

In Praise of Blueberries

  My personal attack on purple broccoli has led to a public backlash and the running police are on my case for promoting a more individualistic and maverick approach to training. Random boxes of fresh vegetables (including copious quantities of the dreaded broccoli) have been left on my doorstep, and my email inbox has been … Continue reading In Praise of Blueberries →

Keep on Running

I have been an established marathon runner for a week and a day since completing the Brighton Marathon on 9th April in a time of 5 hours 46 minutes and a bit. Most of the intensive training was undertaken during the winter months, and then we ran on the hottest day of the year so … Continue reading Keep on Running →

Race With the Devil

Let's get off on the right foot here - unlike the opening lyrics of the song by Gene Vincent, I do not think I have led an evil life. I am not trying to out-run the devil on judgement day, but the imagery seems to be quite apposite in the current situation. The day in … Continue reading Race With the Devil →

Twist and Shout

So, to continue the theme of using song titles for my running blogs, we have one that is not immediately obvious. The incident occurred 5 weeks ago, along the banks of the River Nene as it flows gently through the Northamptonshire countryside at Titchmarsh nature reserve. The ground was very wet and muddy due to … Continue reading Twist and Shout →

The Long and Winding Road

Time for another update on my marathon training adventures. I somehow managed to squeeze out enough energy to complete a 10 mile training run on New Year's Eve, much as  one would squeeze out the last bit of toothpaste from the tube. This was one circuit and a bit of Pitsford Water, plus a bit … Continue reading The Long and Winding Road →

On the Road Again

Training took a little dip in the post half-marathon period, mostly due to low level bugs and the usual pressures and distractions of everyday life. We elite athletes just need to be left alone, untroubled by things like work, gardening and shopping, but for some strange reason no-one appears to give us this freedom! I'm … Continue reading On the Road Again →

The Launch of Running Man

  This is the moment I publicly declare my intention to run the 2017 Brighton Marathon. It follows my success in completing the Leicester Half-Marathon at the weekend. I have never run that far before in my life, and it has given me the confidence to move forward with my ambitions. The half-marathon was part … Continue reading The Launch of Running Man →
