It is the night before London Landmarks. I am nervous and am posting too much to Facebook, carb loading with vegan millionnaire shortbread, listening to stompy music and lining my kit up neatly. I have not had a lot of time for training in the last week since work decided to lumber me with six … Continue reading One Day To Go
It's official. I have made all the way through my half marathon training without sustaining a single injury! (Unless I get hit by a bus on the way to the race.) Other than the time I signed up for the Hackney Half with ten days to go, this is the first time I have ever … Continue reading One Day To Go
The unprecedented heatwave of 2018 (ie. 47 consecutive days where I didn't have to use a hot water bottle) is now officially over and we are sliding into winter. This means the "I'll just Jeff it, I don't want to get too hot and get heatstroke and die" excuse is firmly in the bin and … Continue reading Winter Training
I woke up this morning - the day after my cobble-related accident at Victoria Dock parkrun - to find that my right leg no longer bent in the middle and that I couldn't lift my left arm above my head. This was a bit of a problem as I was signed up for another race … Continue reading RunThrough Finsbury Park
I have still done fuck all running since the marathon. I went out for a trial run round the block (less than 1km) on Wednesday and it felt fine at the time, but the second I stopped I felt like I'd been kicked in the shin and the pain didn't go until the next morning. … Continue reading My Time on the Injury Bench
I saw the work physio yesterday. He spent a while prodding my tibiæ (I had to Google the plural of "tibia") and poking them with what looked like a vibrating tuning fork, before agreeing with my self-assessment that I had a case of shin splints but no fracture and needed to take a week or … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Sun Finsbury Park
You will be spared the feature length parkrun entry today as I was back at Finsbury Park, and it hasn't changed since I was last there just over a month ago. The hill has not got any less hilly but it remains my favourite parkrun venue. The most notable thing about today's parkrun was that … Continue reading Finsbury parkrun (again)
Today was my tenth parkrun! I had originally planned to go to Barking parkrun today, but there were engineering works on the Barking to Gospel Oak line. So I looked at parkruns I could get to on the tube. And then I checked the weather forecast and decided I wanted to be outdoors for as … Continue reading Finsbury parkrun
