NOTE TO FUTURE SELF: Do not EVER plan anything that involves leaving London during the month of February EVER again. Better still, do not plan anything that involves leaving the house for the month of February ever again. This weekend, Leyton Orient were scheduled to play Forest Green Rovers, the league's only all-vegan football team, … Continue reading Stratford Park parkrun (Stroud)
It has done nothing but rain for months and I am sick of it. I can't even remember the last time I went out for a run and came back with dry feet. Even last week's 100% tarmac parkrun venue, Peckham Rye, included an unexpected water feature. The soft sarf-landaners of Peckham weren't as hardy … Continue reading Mud Glorious Mud
The Christmas Cow Fest (a convention of Cow Cowl clad tourists) took place this weekend at the relatively new Wendover Woods parkrun in Buckinghamshire. As I was at work on Friday, I could only take part in the parkrun section of the festivities and not the drinks the night before, which by the look of … Continue reading Wendover Woods parkrun
The latest edition of RunThrough's evening run series took me to sunny Wimbledon, home of tennis and Wombles. I will admit that if I hadn't got the season pass, I would probably have given this one a big miss as it is a trail run and I might have mentioned once or twice that I … Continue reading RunThrough Chase The Sun Wimbledon
Yesterday was my penultimate Long Run before the marathon (which is now just TWENTY FIVE days away). I couldn't decide whether to run along the Thames Estuary (from Shoeburyness to Leigh on Sea and back again) or the Thames Path (from Putney to Hampton Court) so I threw the question to a Facebook poll. The … Continue reading Thames Path Long Run
My first mistake was the schoolgirl error of missing a few days' running and then trying to cram all my weekly mileage into 24 hours. It doesn't work. A short, fast session followed by a long, slow run the next morning is just about doable, the other way round does not work at all. I … Continue reading Highbury Fields parkrun
This is a post I wrote exactly a year ago which popped up in my memories today. I thought you might appreciate it. I am from London. I do runs that start in places like Trafalgar Square and take you across smooth, wide roads with not so much as a pothole in your way. If … Continue reading The Great Yorkshire Pieathlon 2016
Snow in London today (ok, about four flakes, but still) and absolutely freezing cold. I was very glad that I'd got my long run in yesterday and that today dwas a designated "rest day" (by "rest" I mean "12 hour work shift", there is no real rest in my life.) I am very fussy with … Continue reading I Hate Weather
