I haven’t posted for a while, but rest assured I have been around. At the start of last week I was feeling really heavy in the legs so had a light week, including a 14km run on the weekend. Now it is time for the final assault at training for the marathon, two weeks before [...]

Race Report – River Run 30km – Bike Path
Edit: Sorry to all my subscribers but the post needed a good edit.
It was a cold start. So cold in fact that all my toes were frozen numb and only thawed out after two and a half kilometers. It literally felt like I was running with ice cubes where my toes were supposed to be.
Last year [...]

Bringing back the running mojo
Got on the bike Monday for a X-Training session. Only the second time this year I have dragged out the exercise bike and it was good recovery from the 30k the day before. Hopefully it will also trick my body into moving a bit more weight too.

I was able to sneak out on [...]

Inching along
I feel like I have an injury. But no, I don’t have one. My training for the marathon is inching along 5k by 5k…ie my only training this week has been a 5k run at lunchtime on Tuesday and will be followed up by another today…hopefully. I would love to get out for a 10k [...]

Deviation from the plan.
Slight bump, or is that slump, in the marathon training at the moment. Bella, our poor puppy was de-genderised on Thursday and this has thrown all training out the window as she has not taken to having a bucket (or Elizabethan collar) on at all…there has been minimal sleep and constant attention required. Only snuck [...]

Dr Freud I presume?
Why do I find it harder to run at a slow easy pace than at race pace. Sure race pace can hurt, but it is not as much of a struggle to keep going as it is when I run at a slow pace (race pace +30 to 60seconds). Struggling along in the early part [...]
