Should We Go the Distance?
Quite an interesting debate on one of the forums I frequent about the The Furman Institute of Running and Scientific Training (FIRST) schedule and its suitability for use in training for a marathon. My feelings are that in running, you get out what you put in, which basically means to get better at running a Read more...
20 Miles or So in My Salohs
Decided that I have been rather lazy of late and I really needed to get over my “runner’s block”. I found inspiration on Twitter after seeing how hard a certain athlete pushes herself and a friend from Denmarkshire urging me to get off my backside. Thanks! I decided to run nice and easy, concentrating on Read more...
This Time I Got It Right
Blogging from a Mac, that is. It seems that the iWeb tool provided as default on the iMac isn’t what I thought it was. Ah well, here is my blog from last night. apologies for sending a duff one out… Hip to be Square Huey Lewis and the news’s eighties hit sprung to mind as Read more...
Helping People

It was a long drive but well worth it to take part and see some amazing runners. I have learned a fair amount this week about myself and training. Heart Rate I understand Read more...
And I Will Run 100 Miles
That’s how far I have run so far this year. I’m really pleased that I am starting to get some reasonable training at last and with no signs of old injuries. I did manage to whack my knee so hard I nearly passed out on the fire surround in the living room earlier though! That Read more...
What I Did Over Christmas
I couldn’t really think of a more imaginative title I’m afraid. However, I did manage to do a fair amount of running over the Festive Season. I have a new widget that details my activities uploaded to Garmin Connect. Father Christmas was quite generous to me a I ended up with a quite unexpected Garmin Read more...
