I managed to get out of the office on Wednesday lunchtime to run with Adrian and a couple of others from UK CRN. It was all very reminiscent of the "Experian Days" as we ran down the canal (and Adrian ran out of breath :-)). The downside to this was there’s only a single shower […]

And More Miles
February 1, 2009More Miles
January 18, 2009Managed to fit in a 7.5 mile run on Saturday night. The time wasn’t great (around 70 minutes) but it’s all miles in the bank.
Miles & Miles
January 10, 2009I’ve continued with the running, managing a few runs of 6 – 8 miles with a few gruesome (with my current fitness levels) hill climbs and today I was out with Bunde @ 08:00 to run for 90 minutes. It was absolutely freezing all the way round, when I finished I called in at the […]
Miles & Miles
December 29, 2008I went running on the 23rd December with Jamie (who is super fit). I lead the way (to keep Jamie from running me into the ground) and managed about 6 – 6.5 miles in about 50 minutes which is not too bad. I then get out of bed at 07:00 on the 28th Dec to […]
Ashby 20
December 10, 2008I was reminded on Sunday that it’s 16 weeks to go to the Ashby 20 2009 race, will I be up for it? Monday I went out and ran 20 laps of the rec at the usual speed and I was knackered. Today I went out and only had time for 10 laps – […]
50% Extra Free (Well Sort Of Free)
December 1, 2008I managed to get out at lunchtime in between the icy showers that were lashing down around that time. I managed 15 laps of the rec today hence the 50% Extra but they weren’t free – the last 2 laps were hard work and it was a struggle to keep going but I did […]
Times Don’t Matter Yet
November 26, 2008As I was working from home today I took the opportunity to load a backpack with 20 lbs of weight to get the feel of it and I’ve been sat coding away with the backpack on – shoulders and back are feeling it – how am I going to get round? Same route as […]
Basic Training – 2
November 25, 2008Managed another basic training session yesterday – mountain bike to the local rec ground and 10 (maybe 11, I lost count again – I’m out of practice and out of oxygen ) laps of the ground at the samer pace as previously. Back onto the bike and cycled home the long way round – without […]
Basic Training – 1
November 23, 2008Basic training started today……… well sort of. As the P Company Challenge (Paras 10) requires ankle support boots and a bergen I asked Jamie if he could loan me a pair of his boots (we have the same size feet). Jamie brought a pair of boots to try for size but they were too small […]
