Next Challenge


Now that Stanwick is out of the way it is back to endurance training all the way, have the Stansted Trail Marathon late in December and planning for a 100km run very early in January.


For 2010 I'm planning

1. To run 100km - probably in January
2. To go back and run the Ridgeway end to end
3. Do the across Wales run, and then back again

I also have a few days in the Howgills in Feburary and in the Lakes in April so hopeful will get some good runs in there as well.

A big thank you to everybody who has helped me raise money for Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital.

an easy week

This was supposed to be an easy week and I was going to concentrate on cross-training to take the load off. However for some reason it didn't really work out and I ended the weeking running 15 miles on Thursday, 12 on Friday and 16 today. To get back before work both of the weekday runs meant a very early start which is tough but it is always great to see the sun rise.

Considering the mileage I've done this month (I've already beaten by previous best) I've very pleased with the way my legs have held up. My ankles are sore and there is a little pain in my right knee but nothing too severe.

. . . next week will be a lighter week
