Better at writing than at running
I was less than halfway into this morning's workout yet I had already mentally composed most of today's joyously positive post. Since cutting down on sugar I've lost 2.3kg in 10 days and my resting pulse has gone down to 52 (from 55-60). Even better still, today I followed advice from cycling friends and cycled … Continue reading Cycling Calamities That Could Only Happen To Me, part 59
Regular readers of this blog (both of you) will notice that I have been fartarsing around with my running ever since the marathon with statements such as "Look I chose a parkrun with really big hills so I am perfectly justified in walking half of it" "It's a bit hot, I think I'll Jeff it, … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Sun Olympic Park
On Tuesday I was at the Olympic Park for a run with a bit of a difference. Instead of running horizontally, I was running vertically - up the Orbit, that is, the peculiar helter-skelter-like structure next to the stadium. It's 114.5 metres tall with 455 spiral stairs.

I already knew I was eating too much sugar, and that this was probably the main reason that I was having trouble losing weight, but I was still shocked when I sat down and counted up how much sugar … Continue reading Sugar Free
I was rather nervous about last night's race, not just because of the hills and uneven terrain of Crystal Palace Park, but because the equivalent fixture in last year's Chase The Sun calendar (exactly a year ago) had ended very badly. The race itself had seemed to go okay, but I had been having a … Continue reading Chase The Sun Crystal Palace
During my running career I've been beaten by a pillar box, all four tellytubbies, the Eiffel Tower, a man with one leg and countless small children, but never a ferry. I therefore decided to join the Viewtube Runners for their race against the ferry. The Woolwich Ferry opened in 1889 and transports 2 million passengers … Continue reading Chase The Ferry
A few weeks ago I made a very bold move and signed up for the Southend Triathlon, which will take place in eleven months' time. In a way this is a bigger challenge for me than running the marathon, because I only learned to cycle five years ago and thus cycle like a five year … Continue reading Triathlete in Training
