So my running has been going well even despite the bad weather that we have been having over the last few days. There has been a lot of ice on the ground and the forecast for later in the week is suggesting that we might even get snow. This morning I did my first morning … Continue reading Crisps Are My Weakness
Goals
Long Run Day
Today is my usual long run day, my plan was that I would run for about 11km. However over the last day or so I have been feeling a bit of tightness in my knee. There isn't really any pain to this but it is feeling a bit stiff when I move it and when … Continue reading Long Run Day
Goodbye New Years Resolutioners
For the first couple of weeks of the year I when I came back from my lunchtime run all of the showers at work were full. This meant that I had to wait for one to be available, this was usually a couple of minutes at most so it wasn't really a big deal. I … Continue reading Goodbye New Years Resolutioners
Week 3 Summary – A Good Week
I feel like I did pretty well this week. I was able to run 6 days without any issues which meant that I could take 2 rest/recovery days.

Feeling A Bit Under The Weather

Week 2 Summary – Getting The Hang Of It
Week 1 was a very difficult for me even though it was only a short week. Coming back to work after having time off is always difficult as you are not used to getting up and ready as early but this is even worse after Christmas and new year and all of the additional things … Continue reading Week 2 Summary – Getting The Hang Of It
Everybody Needs A Rest Day
I have been doing really well this week with running more consistently but today I had a few meetings which would have made it difficult for me to go for a run and eat lunch. Therefore I thought this would be a good day for me to take as a rest day before doing a … Continue reading Everybody Needs A Rest Day
Switching To Lunchtime Runs
I have been struggling to get up in the morning in time to go for a run before work. To be fair this would mean that I would have to wake up at about 5:20am and at this time of the year that time in the morning still feels like the middle of the night … Continue reading Switching To Lunchtime Runs
Challenge Week 1
Although this week was a short week it still felt longer than most. I think that the main reason for this is staying up so late on New Years eve but also going back to work after a couple of weeks off and exercising more than usual. There were a couple of nights this week … Continue reading Challenge Week 1
