Ran the poppy half in 2:01 today. Conditions couldn't have been much worse with lots of runners struggling through the battering coming in off the sea. I ran 10 miles in 1:21 and then predictably my knee gave up on me again. Very deflating watching everyone pass me in the last 3 miles and now...
Just so we are clear Corbyn is publicly supporting his his former policy advisor who urged voters not to vote Labour as the Labour candidate didn't represent Corbyns vision of Labour. Their preferred candidate was an anarchist who represents a party who believe in nothing. Far more in line with...
You could try a chiropractor and acupuncture which seems to work well for me but it's a fairly costly exercise or just rest up until things feel better. I can't remember running without pain and often bitch about it to whoever will listen but I've accepted it's just part of the experience and...
Long range forecast looks good. The boys will smash Wednesday tonight so more relaxed about missing the game.
Looking forward to a nice flat race, see you there
Did a very challenging Beckley 10k this morning in 49. Really picturesque course shrouded in heavy fog throughout with some long climbs for good measure. Happy with my time as still suffering from various knee problems which hills seem to inflame. Running the poppy half on Saturday which I...
Yeah brutal last mile but great effort. I'm convinced I won't run for a few weeks but who am I kidding? For all its hardships had great fun toady.
Good luck in Dublin
Completed the Sussex half marathon in 2 hours exactly give or take. Bit disappointed as was aiming for sub 1:50 but after worrying about my shin splints ( acupuncture worked a treat ) my knee in the end let me down. Still made it to the end on a very tough course in fantastic conditions and...
I'm heading off to do the Sussex (half) marathon this morning too. I've had shin splints leading up to this and had acupuncture yesterday in a bid to try and get round without the pain. My time has gone out the window and I'll now be happy just to get round.
I'd be interested to hear how you...
Ran the Hellingly 10k this morning @ 48.01. Despite a frantic last 40metres just couldn't get into the 47s. Perfect conditions today helped me run my fastest 10k for 13 years. My times are really improving since I started hill climb training and hope to be in good shape for the Sussex half...
Completed the Will Page Newick 10k this morning. My target was sub 50 and managed to come in at 48:50 so very happy with that.
It's my 3rd year in this race after a long break from running and 2 years ago posted 1:06 which spurred me on to do more.
Now celebrating with some long man draught ale.
