Island Run 10k 2018

This Bank Holiday weekend just gone saw me preparing to run my first 10k since August last year. And when I say my first 10k, I don’t mean my first 10k race, I mean my first 10k period. In fact, my first run over 5k since August last year. So obviously I felt extremely well

Have Phone, Will Run

Do you like to listen to music while you run? Back when I started running I spent some time coming up with a running playlist on my iPhone. I used Zombies, Run! and I used a Nike+ app to track my runs. This meant that taking my phone out with me on runs was an absolute

#Janathon Day 3 – Life Lessons from Failure

We’re 3 days in and I’ve considered whether I should just ditch Janathon completely. I’ve already failed on 2 days, but that’s 2 days out of 31, and I think food poisoning should be considered a valid excuse. So I shall soldier on, with the goal of improving my cardiovascular fitness considerably by the end

#Janathon Day 1 – The Speedy Mile

Happy 2018! I’ve woken up feeling surprisingly perky, considering the amount of food and wine I consumed last night. Which is a good job really, because I decided to take part in Janathon again this year. I first did Janathon in 2013, where I committed to running a mile each day. It was a challenge,

Training For Your First 10K

This Sunday I have a 10k Race coming up. Running these days is an add on to my training, one that I enjoy, but it’s no longer my main focus. When I originally signed up I had lofty plans to train properly and aim for a PB, but my Roller Derby schedule and work got

The Sub 2 Hour Half Marathon Project – The Results

Well, that was certainly an adventure! Some of you may remember that back in January, in a flurry of optimism, I offered to help my husband train for the Norwich Half Marathon.

Sub 2 Hour Half Marathon Project – The End of Phase 1

The Sub 2 Hour Half Marathon Project

Well, 2017 in underway, and for someone in my house that has included the realisation that this years Norwich Half Marathon is only 3 months away as it has moved to April instead of November. Thankfully that person is not me. I decided last year that training for Half Marathons is too time consuming and

You know when you know full well that you are woefully under prepared for something but you do it anyway? That was me on Sunday at Run Norwich 2016. Last year I took part in the first Run Norwich 10k, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to run it again this year. These
