Two people have said this to me recently. What did they mean, I wonder? If you run, you’re a runner, whatever your shape.
“My diet starts tomorrow and I’ve just seen an advert for a cheeseburger!” A friend posted this as their Facebook status earlier this week. I couldn’t help but feel that they were just writing down their seemingly endless predicament: misery in being unfit and…
Reflections on last week:A late change of social arrangements meant that my training last week was completely different from what I’d originally planned.Still, for me, it had the right mix of running, activities I enjoy and training which will make me a better runner….
1st January is rather arbitrary for a beginning, isn’t it? It has no solar/seasonal significance and doesn’t even fit with any ancient religious stories. As far as I can tell, there’s no reason other than Julius Caesar decreed 1st January to be the start…

Reflections on last week: Rest is best! Really pleased I had an easier week last week; I’ve got over my cold and I’m ready to get back again! My training this week: Monday80/60: 80s fast; 60s rest x10 or until distance failed twiceBody Balancepossibly…
I’ve got a cold. Not a bad cold, but a cold. If an athlete turned up at one of my sessions like this, I’d send them home. So I’m not training today. Mentally, it’s killing me (I love winter training); physically, it’s what I…
