I’m either having a slow recovery from my cold, or I’m just being plain lazy. Getting back into it After trying to get back into some training last week after having had a cold, I did OK for a few days but then over the weekend fell off the rails a bit again. Thursday’s swim...
It’s back to basics this week with my triathlon training plan, thanks to a bout of illness. A nasty cold, chest infection, man-flu, lurgy, whatever you want to call it, I had it and it wasn’t much fun. I obviously stopped training as soon as it developed fully and then left it for just over...
Hooray, I’ve got muddy shoes…. Bluurghh! Think I’m getting the lurgy. Did a 90 minute bike session this morning but then had to cut the subsequent 40 minute run short only doing 30 mins as I felt ill and my eyes wouldn’t focus properly. Muddy Shoes Annoying really as I was looking forward to the...
Trail Running has never been a forte of mine. For some reason as soon as the ground gets muddy, slippery, rocky, covered in leaves or even just a little damp I seem to slip and slide all over the place and just can’t stay on my feet. I end up having to walk or in many cases...
I haven’t mentioned triathlon training here for a while, mainly because I haven’t really been doing any proper training. My plantar fasciitis injury has kept me off my feet as far as running is concerned since April so I had to pull out of all races this year and haven’t therefore had anything to train...
I haven’t been running for ages and it’s driving me nuts – How can I call myself a triathlete if I can’t run, and how can I train for races. In fact, it make me question the point of training at all because I can’t actually race at the moment anyway, so I’m not really...
As you may know, I’m now the proud owner of a Garmin Fenix 3 watch. It took a while to get it as it was stuck at the delivery depot for weeks and the two companies that were involved in delivering it (UK Mail and Cooper Carriers) didn’t seem able to communicate with each other, so...
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]uesday already and our first full day in Dorset. One of the main reasons for coming here was to go fossil hunting, so we wasted no time and planned a day at Charmouth today to find some fossils. I started the day with an early morning run into Weymouth and back along some of the...
Seeing as I did a Hilly Hogmanay Half Marathon last year I had decided to do something similar this year. We were away in St David’s though so I couldn’t do the same route, nor could I do it on New Years Eve so instead I did it first thing on New Years Day. I...
