Today I’d planned on a run with my friend Michelle, she comes to the village every so often for work and we try and get together when we can, although meeting up in the pub at the end of the street requires a lot less effort than us going for a run. The way the diary fell this would be my fourth run in four consecutive days,...

I went on a run on my own today, because I could. There was no training plan to tell me I had to, no race looming that required training, just an opportunity for me to have some ‘me’ time and see what I could do if I just did it.

It looked like it was working. The peroneal wasn’t as bad as the previous week and he found a few knots showing it was healing. So why did I...

What can I say, the last two weeks have been frustrating, they’ve been painful, and if I had a swear box I’d be bankrupt by now. What possessed me to run that six miles I’ll never know. The run was fine once I dropped the run/walk but the after effect was anything but. It took the best part of a week before I...

I understand that there was a podcast on Marathon Talk recently that mentioned Jeff Galloway’s Run-Walk-Run technique for long distance running. As you know, I’m following a run/walk programme for London from Runners World and having just checked it’s based on Jeff’s run-walk-run prorgramme. I’m an...
