Pants, Pants and bigger Pants.
I’m not allowed to plod for two to three weeks while my back gets better, which sadly puts me out of the race on 25th May, as I just won’t have had time to do enough training. Understandably I’m very upset, but on the other hand, better to wait a while, [...]

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch, Ouch… seriously, OUCH!
It’s been a great week! The sun has been glorious all week, I started work on a new show which I’m really enjoying, and I managed to fit in training on both Tuesday and Thursday night and did the 25 min plod both times. Brilliant!
So, yesterday I got up full [...]

As Spring arrived in full force today and the sun came out to shine on us all, I decided to have a change of wardrobe from the waist up for today’s plod. So instead of the usual T-Shirt and fancy Running Jacket, I opted for T-Shirt and Sweatshirt. I know! Radical huh? The fancy Running [...]
Almost There

I made a 2nd attempt at the 25 min plod yesterday. And I almost managed it, but I came to a slow splutter at 22 mins / 2.56km. Grrrrr! Just three minutes away from success – how frustrating!
No calf problems. No achy hips (gosh that makes me sound like I’m an OAP!). No problems at [...]
Running To Stand Still

Oh Pants, Poop and Parp… I had my first set back today, and abandoned a plod part way through. Sigh.
The plan for Week 6, Day 3, said five minute warm up followed by a 25min plod (without stops) then 4 min warm down. I set out with all good intention, although I will admit I [...]

The plodding continues.
Wednesday saw me start week 6 of training, plodding for just under 2 miles or 3.2 km! I actually felt quite good at the end, helped by the fact that my spirits were uplifted when I saw Ninja Warrior Man was back in the park. He’s been M.I.A. since Valentines Day so [...]
You’ve Come A Long Way Baby…

Today I plodded for 20 minutes without stopping.
No walking, no resting, no cheating, just constant plodding for 20 whole minutes.
Amazing really when you consider that just 6 weeks ago I couldn’t plod for longer than 60 seconds without feeling like my lungs were going to explode.
Yay me!
