Toe Nails n' Quads :. Running up hill and down dale : keep running : keep searching :. Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Mount Famine - Catagory 'A" Fell Race. I have been training quite hard over the last four/five weekends, racing, upping and generally being out on the fells, so i decided to make my way to Hayfield to have crack at the one race i have heard so much about. Realised i had left the Garmin at home, so nothing to push me on, when i need a push. After the drop off South Head, which at this stage i thou...

Sink, bike, run. Three falls, but no submission. November 17, 2013 at 10:14 pm Posted in Uncategorized Leave a comment. After detouring off-road on the cross bike with some mountain-bike-(ish) orienteering earlier this year, part two of bending the edges of my comfort zone was to actually race some cyclocross. I did a little bit of practising with Roy. Who did his best to teach me not to do a Joey. And, I did find that the cross mount/dismount is very handy for free speed in T1 and T2 at tris. I do know ...

Sink, bike, run. July 10, 2015 at 6:37 pm Posted in Uncategorized Leave a comment. So after a long period of fingernail-paced drift. In this direction, we finally moved to Dawlish last year. In a big house, sized for noise, bikes, happy people and stuff. And Dawlish suits us (until Threlkeld drifts nearer and all the short people drift further). It’s a ladybird. That sells ice-creams bigger than my face, as well as cake, pies and beer swoon . If I cycle to work (12 miles flat or longer with hills. Ne...

My legs are still happily (it’s a pain-pleasure thing) reminding me about my day out on Saturday at the Anniversary Waltz. This year, I had 150 fellrunners behind me, and another 150 ahead, and the sheep had had a better offer. Now I was at Dale Head, I had a decision to play with; seventh-time-lucky on finding a staggerable line straight down, or going with the potentially-flaky-but-reccied optio...

It’s nicer than the pool, but where has everyone else gone? I gave daughter #1 a book of Saki short stories for Christmas, which dislodged the incantation ‘Let un sink as swims’ from the back of my head where these things huddle. Anyway, I looked it up, and the story. Which brings me to yesterday’s swim. Becki and I went to the pool for a quick (ha! I still didn’t t...

Although I’ve dabbled with a quadrathlon (but didn’t inhale), it shocked me the other day to realise that I hadn’t actually done a triathlon for two years. I’d last completed a triathlon in Plymouth, as long ago as July 2008, and then a dire lack of training (do I surprise you? In a cold wet heap soon after the sea. Well; on all the tris I’ve done, I’ve...

I like a nice ritual (Catholic upbringing and all that), and all through the summer my reflective yellow winter running bib hangs on the end of the bannister, huddled against the sun, waiting for autumn to be in the air. It gradually gets covered in Stuff, before nudging its way forwards about the same time as the clocks go backwards. Someone once told me that for effective training, I sho...
