I went for my first long run in far too long on Saturday… The canal towpath was muddy, very much so in the countryside, and my absence of training showed. But on the way back I was treated to the most beautiful sunset, which almost looked like the dawn of a new running era (more…

Neither running nor blogging have really taken off for me this year, but perhaps my body (and soul) need this period of hybernation… In the mean time I give in to the things I enjoy… cooking with Philip; re-aquanting myself with Parkruns and going out for a cheeky run between storms. I will – I…

Muddy weekends and a bath! Despite a bit of a dip in my running, I made sure we took full advantage of the mud over the spent the last few weekends! This included a birthday run for me (of which you will hear more) and a few bike rides with Philip! We are now all…

The big event of last week? The arrival of my brand new pair of Kinvara 10! And if they look familiar, that’s no surprise, it’s a special edition commemorating the design of the very first Kinvara which eased many of us (me included) in the world of minimal shoes! I’ll be writing more about these…
Sneak peek…
I used to own a shoe just like that, once! 😍

The week that was saw a speed of Harriers attend a coaching session taken by Chris, as part of his progress towards gaining his coaching qualification. The weather was good if chilly, the company good and the training a very welcome change to my usual routine! It left me with some new drills to incorporate…

The week that was saw the last road race of 2018 and my first ever 10-miler: I missed out on John Frazer 10 in September with the lurgy, but made up for it with Derby 10 on Sunday (25 Nov). Full review to follow, but a very civilised affair that even offered pre and post…
