Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve always had funny feet. I’ve walked on my toes since I was a toddler so not only do I have very tight achilles tendons and skinny calves but my feet are a funny shape too. Whenever I’ve seen a chiropodist they’ve just looked at them and said they’ve never seen anything like it! I’m...
I didn’t have much time for ‘training’ today so thought I’d fit in a quick but hard run at lunch time. I’ve been trying to do some VO2 Max intervals along the beach recently but haven’t been able to get the intensities, pace and distances quite right for it to be manageable but hard. The...
I think I need some new running routes. The ones I do are OK and doing the same route now and then to gauge your progress (or lack of as the case might be) is always a good thing, but doing the same route all the time is not only a little boring, but hard...
My run training technique of ‘doing very little running’ seems to be working still! I would have thought that i’d need to do somewhere around 2-4 runs per week to see any improvement in my spee. I’ve only been doing that per month but still I seem to be getting better. I’ve just got back...
I used to be OK at running. I was never good and when I say ‘used to’ I mean about 20 years ago, but as part of my new fitness drive I’ve been trying to get out for the odd run here and there. I don’t like to do too much as my joints, tendons...
I haven’t been running much lately. I did a bit just before competing in a Triathlon back in May, but very little since. However, I can’t swim at the moment thanks to injured ribs, so last night rather than drive into Aberystwyth just for a circuit training session I decided to go for a run instead. I...
Well done to all those who competed in the Aberystwyth Twin Peaks Challenge today. It looked like a great event with good conditions. I hope you put in a time to be proud of. I was the photographer part way up Pendinas and then again on the prom and managed to get some good shots...
It’s the Aberystwyth Twin Peaks Challenge at the weekend. A challenging partly off-road running race covering two of Aberystwyth’s most famous landmarks: Constitution Hill (450ft) to the North of Aberystwyth and The Duke of Wellington monument on Pen Dinas (413ft) to the South. The race is organised by Aberystwyth Athletics club and is about 7...
I thought getting fit was supposed to be good for you, but it only seems to hurt! Running on the roads hurts my knees, running on the sand hurts my Achilles tendons. I went for a nice run yesterday along the beach. Nothing too strenuous as I was trying to keep my heart rate down...
As you know my latest gadget which arrived yesterday is a Garmin Forerunner 305, which is a GPS enable Heart Rate Monitor training device. The idea is that when you are out running, cycling or doing any other outdoor activity it tracks your precise position and speed using the GPS and records your heart rate...
