    I won’t be applying for Flora London Marathon 2008

    Sunday, October 21st, 2007

    Not that I’d make it through the ballot let alone good for age.
    The reason I’m not applying is that I’m not keen on having to start four months of serious training in December again. I’m also still worried about my ITB blowing up again.
    I’m planning for either an early Summer or Autumn marathon.
    After […]

    Edinburgh Marathon 2007

    Sunday, June 17th, 2007

    Time: 04:56:27
    Position: 3012 out of 3559
    First runner: 02:31:57
    Last last: 07:32:27
    If I had to sum up this race it would be: forgetful and experimental!
    I say forgetful because, I forgot to check how many Taut (an isotonic drink with no artificial nasties) I had left, which meant I only had one instead of the required three! I […]

    Sorry for such a short and late training log report. I skipped speed training because the weather this week’s awful (I know when I first started running, this wouldn’t have stopped me). Tempo was uneventful, but then again I only popped out 4 miles. My knee did ache on the […]

    Not a good week for training. My knee made itself known on all occasions that I was out running. The interval training felt the brunt of the ITBS. I was hobbling by the last mile, which meant I was stiff and sore on the problematic knee […]

    New running kit

    Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

    Last week I ordered a heart rate monitor and a drinking bladder.

    The HRM was cheap and was meant to serve two purposes, warn me if my ticker was going to reboot during the marathon and also to be a stop gap until I buy a Garmin Forerunner 305.

    Ever since I made the decision […]
