... but with football called off due to the snow, I made the most of my reprieve by chugging through (pretty slowly, with heavy legs) some refreshing miles as the snowflakes covered me. Was pretty ... read more

good Man against the elements 13 mi 01:43 07:55 pace
This was more hard work. Legs were feeling the effort from cranking up the volume this week, and the weather was atrocious, with wind and rain. But I steeled myself and got on with this, telling my... read more

RUN
alright Sixy legs 6.08 mi 00:55 08:58 pace
A slowish, evening saunter to clock up the miles. Enjoyed a first run over a high footbridge over the IDR. (I am finding solace in small things.)

RUN
good Lucky lockie 6.06 mi 00:51 08:28 pace
An lunchtime saunter up and over towards Sonning Lock for a little gentle one.
-
RUN
good Homeward bound 15.02 mi 01:57 07:47 pace
A run home was on the cards and off I went. Wasn't too easy, but after a while got in a rhythm and churned this one out.
-
RUN
good Wetty tootsy 4.1 mi 00:34 08:18 pace
An enjoyable lunchtime saunter up the canal, only to find a flooded towpath. After some wet feet, the path was abandoned and the (daylit, for a change) streets of Reading were explored.

RUN
good Finding Golden Grahams 12.69 mi 01:47 08:24 pace
A slightly longer effort for a Tuesday night. Was supposed to be running with Mr G, but he was unable to make it due to work commitments - so spent time running loops and meandering around Earley a... read more

RUN
good The day after the one before 8.28 mi 01:10 08:26 pace
First day after the race. Went a bit further than for a normal recovery run as wanted to go further than a six miler and, to tell you the truth, I didn't actually feel that tired. Doesn't... read more

RUN
alright Reading half marathon 13.11 mi 01:28 06:41 pace
Race day. Miserable conditions meant low spectator count and a pretty minging experience all round. For my race, this didn't affect mein the slightest - apart from my mood. But the truth was, ... read more

RUN
alright Prep school 2.66 mi 00:24 09:11 pace
Just a cheeky one to keep some life in the legs ahead of the race tomorrow. Not many runs when this was true, but this was genuinely painful - because of hail in the face. Got absolutely soaked.
-
RUN
alright Reading practice 10.52 mi 01:28 08:18 pace
Needed to get something in the legs for the week with the half marathon on Sunday and probably went too far with this. Got a bit lost to tell the truth - but regardless of anything else it was a ha... read more

RUN
alright Another bad week 2.68 mi 00:25 09:15 pace
Yes. Another late one, another day drifts buy and another week drifts by without proper training. Can 2.68 miles ever make any difference? Well, I guess it is better than absolutely nothing.

RUN
good Secondments 6.1 mi 00:58 09:25 pace
Second half of the day's recovery running. Took the opportunity for a nice visit to the back half of the Reading half marathon course - and now for the first time I know where the course goes ... read more

RUN
good Down the valley 4.08 mi 00:37 09:02 pace
A nice lunchtime saunter up and down the canal and river.

RUN
alright Suck it up 21.47 mi 02:50 07:55 pace
After a bad Sunday effort (again) - it was time to really suck it up and get in the Monday long one. It was bitterly cold, but I went for the long run home, and via Tesco to pick up dinner. Require... read more

RUN
alright Tempo - in part 8.53 mi 01:01 07:09 pace
A bit of a failed tempo run attempt. Managed to do 6 or 7 miles at an increasing tempo, but couldn't maintain the speed at 6m20s a mile. Bad signs for the conditioning.
-
RUN
good Warming up... 4.24 mi 00:37 08:44 pace
First run of two for the day on a Saturday lunchtime. Nothing strenuous here - just an enjoyable saunter around the village.
-
RUN
alright Chuggering 6.67 mi 00:55 08:17 pace
An easy Friday six-miles. Should have been a lot, lot more - but at least I got out. Bit of a low point this week.

RUN
alright ET phone home 13.06 mi 01:56 08:51 pace
Motivation really struggling again. A long one would have been good, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. To try and help, spent most of this one speaking on the phone. Certainly takes you... read more
