So it’s taken quite a few weeks for me to get around to writing this post. As expected the Great Birmingham 10K was cancelled so Project 10K is no more. Knowing that it was very likely to be cancelled I was determined to carry on with the full training block even if it meant meContinue reading “Project 10K is no more”

Project 10K Week 1
Week 1 of Project 10K has taken place while the world seems to have gone to hell. Given all the races that have been cancelled so far in March and April because of COVID 19, I’m not holding out much hope that my 10K will actually go ahead at the end of May. Although it’sContinue reading “Project 10K Week 1”
Project 10K
Going into this year I have done two 10K races previously.
2020 Base Building Week 6
This week was much better in terms of consistency. Also the weather this week by and large has been much more conducive to consistency. For the first run of the week I finally managed to get myself out of bed for an early morning pre work run. 25 minutes easy pace to start and finish,Continue reading “2020 Base Building Week 6”
2020 Base Building Week 5
As with week 4, this weeks schedule required some fairly major moving things around because of the weather. Next week looks as though it may require the same, we appear to be experiencing a significant period of stormy weather. Given the forecast for snow and ice, along with the gale force winds at the beginningContinue reading “2020 Base Building Week 5”
2020 Base Building Week 4
This week was a bit of a disaster in terms of planning and execution. The plan was blown a bit to pieces by my work schedule and then completely imploded by the weather with Storm Ciara rolling in at the end of the week.
2020 Goals
At the end of 2019 I knew that if I was setting goals for 2020 I needed to be smarter about it than when I did it for 2019. I believe that the time based goals I have set for myself are achievable. Having ran 22:41 last year, sub 22:00 for 5K may not seemContinue reading “2020 Goals”
2019 a year in review
As I mentioned in my previous post, my first year of running taught me that I work best when I have a goal to aim for otherwise I just drift and procrastinate. So going into 2019 I decided that at the start of the year I would give myself some goals to work towards. ItContinue reading “2019 a year in review”
My first year of running
Beginnings As I mention in Why I became a Runner post, I began 2018 as an overweight non runner. Looking back, I find it hard to believe that I had got as big as I had without realising it. As a child and teenager, I was always active and forever playing sport whether it wasContinue reading “My first year of running”
