Burghley House 10k

Sunday 10th May Hi, yesterday I did my first run since the marathon. I went in un prepared, no training in the past few weeks. The course was mis advertised so a real mix terrain challenge. It affected my whole body including my breathing, so running still for Asthma & Lung UK was even more relevant. I did it tho in 1h 09 so definitely not my best. Next Month its the 10K Orsted Grimsby 10k. I’m going to get some new Trainers and get some extra runs in. Share

The Half Marathon Run

Monday 13th Apr This time yesterday I was already running around parts of City of London. Feeling a little more human today all be it a tad sore. Share

HI Big Ben

Sunday 12th Apr What an experience, a lot of the course was around the St.Pauls , City of London area. First 6 miles were comfortable and steady. 10 miles after some cheers from friends and ALUK I really started ti feel it but I didn’t stop, didn’t stand in crazy ques for the loos along the course I didn’t walk ….

February Training

Saturday 7th Feb February’s training hasn’t started so well what with coming down with the latest lurgy. Today tho I did Lincoln’s Parkrun and managed to shave a few seconds off my previous time. Although it didn’t work out particularly faster it felt easier for the most part, the knee pain flared up again on the last lap which caused me to slow down. Any knee therapists out there?? Share

1st 10k of the year.

Saturday 7th Feb January’s training kicked off with Lincoln Parkrun and ended with the first of this years 10k Runs. Skegness 10k 1h 3m… with my ongoing knee problem which I coninsidently got from doing last years Skegness 10k I didn’t do too bad ! Share

Taking a leap at fulfilling one of my Marathon ambitions.

Monday 14th Apr For years I’ve thought I’m  just not good enough to undertake anything bigger than a 10k. While I have a few of those under my belt and not fantastic at them I haven't felt the need to really push myself to do better until now.  Its always been a dream since childhood to do the London Marathon and I really hope someday thats possible , the LLHM is the obvious next step.  Unlike a 10k , I can’t just stroll up to the starting phase line of the HM without any training. So I have the best part of a year to get my head in the game and a whole load of strength and distance training in. As an almost life long asthmatic I’m aware of the challenges it can present so it’s a natural choice to support such an important charity. I look forward to sharing the journey with you and welcome any encouragement and support along the way.  Share
