A Hilly Lunch Time Run

I haven’t posted any training reports here for a while, but I’ve just got back from a nice hilly lunch time run so thought I’d share it today. I’m having quite a hard training week this week. I started back at circuits and swimfit last night after a break for Christmas. I actually missed a...

A Meteoric Run 0

A Meteoric Run

I had a nice run with the Tri Club last night. The run itself was fairly uneventful, just an undulating 10km run with Pete, Graham and Karen. It  was a cool, clear night with plenty of light from the Moon and good views of Jupiter not far from the Moon. On the way back we took a bit of...

Coast Path Run

The last time I ran along the coast path from Borth was the day I tore some ligaments in my ankle back in July. Since then I’ve been a little wary of running along it so have stuck to slightly more even routes and haven’t ventured onto the coast path. My ankle is still sore from the injury...

Burning off the mince pies 0

Burning off the mince pies

Another busy day here today – Hopefully I’ll have burnt off some of the excess Christmas calories, but some how I doubt it because I seem to be fuelling myself with pringles, mince pies, cake and licquorice allsorts. First session of the day was a 1 hr 20 minute turbo trainer session. This was followed by a shower and...

Cold Weather Running

I’m quite enjoying my running at the moment. My ankles and knees might not be, but my head is. With the right gear, you just can’t beat a nice early morning run in the Welsh hills, watching the sunrise catching the snow on top of thills. It really does make you appreciate what a perfect...

Making the most of the daylight

The days are pretty short at the moment here so I had to rush to fit everything in today. I was up early to sort out the laundry and do some chores and then do an hour or so of work on the computer whilst I waited for first light. Once there was some light...

An Action Packed Day 0

An Action Packed Day

Sunday was a busy one for me. My training schedule had me down to do a swim and a run, but the tri club were meeting for a road bike ride as well, and Steve was heading this way in order to go windsurfing… Would I be able to fit it all in? In the end...

Swimming with Seals 1

Swimming with Seals

I’ve just got back from a nice little sea swim in Clarach Bay with Graham and Sharon. It was a little chilly to start with but the sea was calm so the conditions were good for swimming. We swam across the bay and back and then Sharon got out as her back was hurting. Graham...

INTRtri Autumn Aquathlon Race Report

I decided at the very last minute to do the INTRtri Autumn Aquathlon on Sunday. I had been suffering from a cold and chest infection for about 10 days so had previously talked myself out of it, but on the morning I awoke and was able to breathe through my nose for the first time...

Lurgy 0

Lurgy

Grrr, I’ve got the lurgy – Sore throat, headaches, bunged up nose and all over body aches – and I blame Pat as I think she brought it with her from the Isle of Man! I was looking forward to an open water swim, an easy run and a night ride on my mountain bike...
