Anyone who has been following my blogs will know that last year my goal was to run 2,016 miles. The plan was to run 5.5 miles everyday. I didn’t always hit my target but I thought that by running some long distance races I would make up the miles.
I ran two half marathons and one […]
Last night was day 300 of my runstreak. Having mistimed dinner time for a 7.00 p.m. jog I made it out for 5 miles at 8.30 p.m.
My legs are still feeling fresh after all these miles. It might have something to do with the extra magnesium I have been taking.
I have signed up to marshal […]
Last May I was part of a group of 50 people that took part in a fire walk for charity.
The training prior to us walking across hot coals lasted for an hour and the walk was over after about 1 minute.
In the middle of the training session I was asked about my Comfort Zone. I […]
Last week I travelled to Dublin to take part in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record.
1escape health club were hoping to get around 400 people to break the record for the largest fitball class.
I arrived up fairly early and after a short wait we were allowed in to the middle of Smithfield square […]
I finally hit the 800 mile mark on Monday evening. It was also the 200th day that I have run this year.
I am slightly behind in my pursuit of 2,016 miles but with a small increase in my daily mileage it should still be possible to achieve.
Thierry joined me for 5km on a slightly packed […]
On April 2nd I ran my first parkrun 5km. I ran with Kitty from ‘On The Road Again’. She hadn’t been running for a while. I was just happy to get out for a run and see what the parkrun course was like. 105 people running 5km at 9:30 on a Saturday morning is a […]
On Saturday I ran a 10km race in Castlerock just outside Coleraine.
This was my 144th race, 24th county I’ve run in and I hit the 400 mile mark for the year. I’ve never spent as much time looking at entering a race as I have with this 10km race, which I heard about on social media and I thought […]
I’ve been putting in the miles over the past couple of days and I hit the 300 mile mark yesterday afternoon – so taking it easy for the next two days as I have my first half marathon of the year on Saturday morning in Kinvara.
Earlier in the week I went out to Sean in […]
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 […]
So that’s the first fortnight of the year out of the way!
My 2,016 miles in 2,016 is starting to take shape. I passed the 100km mark today.
This week I focused on finding some new running routes. Running the same route 366 times would test the toughest people.
I revisited some of my old routes. I couldn’t […]
