Running to Fitness

Today’s run was really hard - the snow was a lot thicker, a few inches deep and really seemed to sap my energy as I ran. Planned to run longer than this but felt tired and had slight pain in my right foot which cleared up. Dont think I’ll bother running in thick snow again, [...]

Went out for my long run today and did just over 14km in 1hour 37 - not bothered about the time, I’ve done a lot of running this week, probably the most Ive done ever - around 60km. My legs felt a bit sore and my sciattica gave me a small problem with some pain [...]

Well the day off had to wait - my new Asics Nimbus arrived today and who can resist testing out new running shoes? The shoes are great - much better than the last pair of Asics 3000 I bought, more cushioning etc.
Just went for a nice easy jog today as things are a bit sore, [...]

I tried to stop myself running today but couldn’t! Ended up doing a rapid 10km run outside in the snow in 1 hour 50seconds - the fastest I’ve recorded with my Nike+
Defo having a day off running tommorow!

Probably shouldnt have done another run today, especially not another quick one but I did so nevermind! Nike+ recorded it today and I ran for 41mins at 11km/hour on the treadmill with a 3min walk break. Nike+ is showing an average pace of 5.35mins per km - thats great, If I knock off the walk [...]

Did a really good run today on the treadmill - 50mins at 11km/hour pace, thats the fastest I’ve run so far on the treadmill. Giving up smoking has really helped my cardio, no way could I have kept going at that pace before. My aim is to do a 10k in 45minutes so I need [...]

First run back today after having a cold, turned out the cold wasn’t too bad so I di an outdoors run of 11.5km in 1hour 13mins. Felt good, some coughing problems so my breathing wasn’t spot-on but not too bad at all.
Going to do a weights session tommorow in the warm gym - was freezing [...]

Did a run for 30mins at 9/km hour on the treadmill - annoyingly my Nike+ didn’t save the run though. After I did 23 mins on the cross trainer and 7mins on the rowing machine. Nothing special today really.
Feel like I’m getting a cold so that may tamper with my plans for a weight session [...]

Today I was dressed up like robocop - started using my garmin 305 again so I had that on my wrist, the heart rate monitor on my chest, nip guards on, Nike+ on my foot and my iPod nano on my arm!
Did a long slow run outside of 11.4km in 1 hour 14mins, Im warming [...]

Started off with a 3km in 17mins today, then did an upper body weights session for around 45 minutes. To finish off I did another 2km run in 12minutes. Felt good on both runs, a little tired/couldnt be bothered with the weights, thats probably because I have had a week off from them. Should be [...]
