Time to Take Action
If you are running the V.H.I women’s mini marathon on June 3rd your training should be at a good level at this stage.
I would recommend running 5km early in the week and a 5km session at race pace during the weekend. […]
It’s never too late for a new challenge!
Looking at various posts on social media it seems that a lot of people found the month of January to be a lot longer than 31 days.
I’m sure a few of them gave dry January a go. Some of them might have gone vegetarian for a week. As most of you know I don’t believe […]
New Year New You
With less than 3 weeks left in the year many people will be sitting back and taking stock of the year. Did they complete the challenges they set themselves, can they hit their target in the next couple of weeks? They might have a list of short, medium or long term goals drawn up for […]

Earlier in the week I went out to Sean in […]
If it’s Worthwhile it Won’t be Easy
I suppose I was on a bit of a high after passing the 100 mile mark.
All the hours on the road were starting to pay off and it wasn’t long before I passed the 200km mark. I was conscious of the fact that I have only had one week where I have achieved my target […]
