Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Well, that was exciting! Whatever happened to Spring? It’s horrendous out there and much more like winter. The air temperature has been around 4-5ºC all morning and according to the weather station in our garden the wind has been at around 40-50 knots all day so far. Needless to say it is pretty wild out...
After the highs of my race in Pwllheli last weekend, the rest of a week has been a bit of a low training wise. I had an easy little spin on the turbo trainer on Monday and then went for an easy run but didn’t feel too good on it. I put it down to...
You’ve probably already read that I had a good race in the Pwllheli Triathlon on Sunday. I’ve now had chance to look through my data and I’m quite pleased with my run in particular. I know you really shouldn’t try new things in a race, especially something such as new shoes, but that is what...
I had a gorgeous run last night. The clocks have gone forward, the evenings are long and the weather is as good as it could be. I wasn’t supposed to go for a run but I couldn’t resist it so headed off down the beach towards Borth. The beach was quiet with only a few people wandering...
Sunday mornings usually have me doing a run and a swim these days, and last Sunday was no exception. I couldn’t swim at Machynlleth as the Aquathlon was on and I was supposed to be doing hill reps anyway, so would be better off running on my own. I therefore headed into Aberystwyth nice and...
As we were in Bristol for the weekend I decided to take my biking and running kit and meet up with Jay, Brad and Mike for a little ride and run around the Bristol Triathlon course. Brad, Mike and myself will be doing the Bristol Triathlon in July so we thought it would be good...
What a day, pouring with rain, blowing a gale and ‘proper nasty’ out there! No excuses though, I had to do a 45 minute easy run, so that’s exactly what I did. Thankfully I have plenty of wet weather gear, so on went my running tights, a long-sleeved thermal top, a waterproof jacket, buff, gloves...
My training plan today had me doing a 70 minute hilly run, the longest I’ve ran for in a number of years. Now, it isn’t very hilly here on the coast at Ynyslas so I drive into Tre-Ddol and started my run there. Temperatures were sub-zero so I wrapped up with running tights, thermal top,...
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...
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...
