The 4 Ps: My Bitter Sweet Finale
A week has now passed since the Paris Marathon, and I've spent the last 7 days reflecting on the experience and what I (and 40,171 other people) have achieved. Paris is one of my favourite cities having lived there about 20 years ago - so I was looking forward to a weekend in this special city. … Continue reading The 4 Ps: My Bitter Sweet Finale
The 4 Ps: Taper Tantrums
Last Sunday I celebrated after my 22 miler - the longest and last of my long runs - was over. Mostly, because it signified the beginning of the taper - time to ease off the training in the last three weeks running up to Paris! But boy was that a mistake to celebrate so early... I woke on … Continue reading The 4 Ps: Taper Tantrums
The 4 Ps: Race Ready?
9 weeks down, 7 to go! It's a great feeling to be past the halfway point in my training for the Paris Marathon... and so to test my progress and see whether I'm on track for my goal (sub 4 hours), today I took part in my first race of the year... The Old Deer Park … Continue reading The 4 Ps: Race Ready?
The 4 Ps: A Week of Firsts
Week 5 of 16 was about building strength - through some alpine hill-training, and my longest run so far. Here are the highlights as recorded by my Nike Plus app: But the real highlights of my week were a couple of firsts... I participated in my first Parkrun, AND I had my screen debut at BAFTA … Continue reading The 4 Ps: A Week of Firsts
The 4 Ps: Building a Base
Week 4 of 16 was all about building a base... Appropriate as I write this overlooking a snowy Bruson, opposite Verbier in Switzerland, where the snow base is still building after an unseasonably mild winter so far. I arrived last night for a few days to celebrate 10 years of Bramble Ski - my brother's … Continue reading The 4 Ps: Building a Base
The 4 Ps: No Pain, No Gain
3 down, 13 to go! According to my Nike Plus Coach Programme, last week was about "Laying the Groundwork" for the remainder of my Paris Marathon training by increasing distance and taking on the longest run of my training so far. The highlights of my week's running was my tempo run with the BeaRCat Runners on Wednesday... and … Continue reading The 4 Ps: No Pain, No Gain
2014 – A Year of Two Halves?
Well actually three half... marathons, a 30km trail run, a 10-miler and a 10k. I can't quite believe it but tomorrow is December. 2015 is suddenly around the corner. Festive lights and decorations adorn the streets. We wore Christmas jumpers to work last week. And all the talk is of Christmas parties and holidays. So as is tradition at this time of year, … Continue reading 2014 – A Year of Two Halves?
Richmond and Running
Richmond and Running - Two things that I love... And these two things came together on Sunday in the form of the Richmond Half Marathon, culminating in me achieving my first goal of 2014 - that elusive Personal Best (PB)! Sunday's half marathon was my second half of 2014, with the first being the inaugural Hampton Court … Continue reading Richmond and Running
