13 medal crazy Disney adventure

13 medal crazy Disney adventure

2017 is hopefully going to be a pretty chilled year in terms of running.  A few races a month and a focus on training to improve speed.  I really want the sub 25 5k and then maybe work on my 10k and half times too.  For people who know me it probably sounds really out […]

1000 race miles in 2016 – #PoweredByPeople

Tuesday’s marathon was tough.  It was too hot, my feet hurt (need new trainers) and was really tired.  After the 4th of 8th laps I really starting to feel it but I didn’t have a choice but to push through.  Just Giving have started a campaign called #poweredbypeople. I keep seeing it all over facebook […]

1000 race miles in 2016 update – 10% done

  So one month down and 104.7 miles.  That’s over 10% complete already and I can now say with authority that a 10% the day after a muddy marathon is not any easier than a marathon after 22.4 miles the three days before.The Tour of Merseyside has nothing on either.  🙂 I actually only ran […]

992.5 miles to go – Orlando New Year Run by Epic Sports Marketing

I decided way back that I wanted to run a race on New Year’s Day if possible. When I came across the Orlando New Year Run by Epic Sports Marketing it looked perfect. There were two races, a 5 mile followed by a 2.5 mile race 45 minutes later. Why do one race when you […]

Dopey training & some new additions to t

Dopey training & some new additions to the 2016 race list

  21 days to go. So my Dopey training plan remains in the bin.  Everyone else seems to have just finished their last Dopey sim and are ready to start tapering but I’ve decided to skip that (plus I have two races on the 2nd January so tapering isn’t really an option).  I only did […]

More races added to 2016

  It gets a bit scary when 2015 ain’t even over yet and already you have already entered 460.2 miles worth of races for 2016.  The Race 1k in 2016 plan is coming together, especially now I just got a wait list spot to do Thunder Run 24 hour as a solo runner, exciting but […]
