Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I really shouldn’t have done it, I know I shouldn’t, but I couldn’t help myself. It was my second run after a few weeks off due to a knee injury so I should have been taking it easy. My training schedule had me down to do the following: Run: 60 min steady with 2x 6...
I don’t want to speak too soon, but after a few weeks off running due to a knee injury I’ve taken my first tentative steps towards become a fully rounded triathlete again. I’ve still be swimming and biking despite the knee injury, but to be a triathlete you need to be running as well and...

I may look like a complete fool doing it, but I actually quite enjoyed it! I thought that aqua-jogging non-stop for a whole session would be...
I’ve been looking with envy at the various Park Runs around the country lately and had even thought about organising one myself in Aberystwyth but it looks as though someone else is about to do all of the hard work for me. There’s news about that someone is organising a Park Run. The Aberystwyth Athletics...
Just a quick little video clip using Ascent to compare my two recent runs around a hilly loop that I do. The blue dot and lower graph represent my run on June 27th 2012 where I beat my personal best for this route by a massive 2 mintes and 5 seconds with a time of...
I think one of the reasons that many people don’t do things such as triathlons is that they have a fear of failure. It’s hard to get motivated at the best of times, but if on top of that you think you won’t be able to do it then for many people there just isn’t...
Wow, that was quite a run, I was smashing records all over the place. Wednesday morning seems to be my day for a long hilly run. Not that long in comparison to what some people do, but long enough for me. As the nearest hills are about 4 miles from here, I tend to drive...
Wednesday morning was just made for running. No wind, 10°C when I set out, warming to over 15°C by the time I got back with clear skies and some lovely sunshine. I was supposed to do a 70 minute hilly run going faster up and over the hills and that’s exactly what I did. Not...
Having qualified for the ITU Age-Group World Championships on my first attempt, this years training schedule has changed a little. I was expecting to still be pushing hard and aiming to peak again for a second chance at qualifying at the the Bristol Harbourside Triathlon on July 15th. That is no longer necessary it’s back to base level...
After a fairly lack lustre bike and run session on Thursday evening and then a similarly poor turbo trainer session on Friday I wasn’t really looking forward to a hard bike session followed immediately by a hard run on Saturday. I was coming to the end of a hard week of training, my achilles was...
