Fabulous hill session up Mount Hamble last night. All two feet of it. 😆

On a serious note, enough to get the heart rate pumping.

Great turnout for our Monday running session, run in partnership with Netley Abbey Runners at Pinnacle Performance, Hamble marina.

All abilities welcome, every Monday, 7pm.

11th in my age category at the European Championships.

Not a build where I could fully optimise training. Life got in the way, and sometimes you just have to get on with it and show up anyway.

Banyoles was a beautiful place, perfectly organised. Running and cycling courses set up brilliantly. The heat got everyone though. A good friend I always see out there put it best. It’s the same for everyone, you’ve just got to put it out there.

I’m getting towards the top of my age category now, which means a new challenge is coming next year. I see this result as a stepping stone towards that next age cat.

None of this happens without the love and support of my friends, family and sponsor ❤️

Looking ahead now. World Championships in Abu Dhabi if it goes ahead, on a course that suits me perfectly. A few things to sort quietly behind the scenes so I can compete at my best. On top of that I’m training for a 100 mile ultra during this same block

Grateful for the team around me, especially Matt and everyone

Onwards.

Your body’s working overtime to cool you down, so don’t panic if your pace drops.

You’re not unfit, it’s just hotter.

• Add electrolytes
• Run early or later in the evening
• Adjust the session if needed
• Maybe even use heart rate and perceived exertion over pace

No duffel coat required.

Life is hard.

Just been out on my run and thought to myself flipping hell.

Some of the stuff that goes through your head when you’re out there.

One thing I know for certain though.

Running takes it away. Every single time.

If you’re struggling and just want some structure give me a shout.

I do it for people all day. If you just want to chuck the watch away and run easy no problem whatsoever.

Make your bed in the morning.

Put your kit by the front door.

Just go and do it.

DM me or comment below. See you out there.

Now most of the spring marathons are over. It’s time to start thinking about that autumn marathon.

If you need a quality programme using systems that are proven for years give me a shout.

Not just from the running aspect but also the strength and conditioning side too.

What’s the first thing that hits the floor when you run?

Your feet. And most runners never look after them.
I’m no physiotherapist but common sense prevails here.

Give them a good old wiggle. Grab them. Fingers between the toes. Move them around. Bend them. Stretch them. Pull them towards you.

Really simple. Thirty seconds.

Look after your feet first.

Wait for it.

There’s a lot to be said for going out on a run with no technology at all.

Yes it’ll mess with your stats a little bit.

But do you know what the anxiety of trying to hit numbers does to your running?

Sometimes just go and run. Nice and easy.

Comment CHUCK below and I’ll send you the guide on how to take your watch off. 😄
