Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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...
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...
I’ve been thinking about the idea of barefoot running for a while and was recently lent a book called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. It’s an inspirational and eye-opening book about a tribe of long distance runners from Mexico and a group of elite ultra-distance runners from around the world. They don’t all run...
I’m supposed to be competing in a 1km swim in Lake Bala on Saturday. A few fellow members of the INTR Tri club are coming along too as are some people from swimfit. The swim is organised byt he British Long Distance Swimming Association. I say ‘supposed’ to be doing it because I managed to...
I’m doing well following the training regime set by my coach. I think I’ve even got used to the hilly runs that he has been setting me to do. The first one I did about a month ago was pretty tough, but since then I’ve been sticking with it and even increasing the distance a...
I’ve been set a training plan by a coach in the triathlon club and have therefore been trying to stick to it. On the schedule for Wednesday was a hilly 45 minute run. Now, it’s 4 miles to the nearest hill from here so running from home means that all of my runs to date...
My highly specialised run training seems to be paying off as I seem to be getting faster and stronger. So, what’s the secret? Well, I do very little running at all and each time I go out I seem to improve. My latest run was an interval session, building on the last time I did...
I don’t know about Anna’s walking the world, but I’ve been trying to do a bit more running lately. I still don’t do much, but rather than getting out once a week I’ve been trying to increase this to 2-3 times per week. Trouble is I seem to be getting slower each tim I go...
I haven’t been doing much running lately and when I have it’s been pretty slow, but I’ve just got back from a nice lunchtime run. I decided to do a VO2 Max interval session. I did it exactly the same as last time which seemed just about right pace wise: 5 min warm up (no...
