From 29th December to the eve of the race

A whole week in one go.

Chasing solstice badges

Oh baby its cold outside

I think you know what to expect by now

In defiance of wisdom, in pursuit of stupid badges

Broadwater Parkrun for the first time in a month

The struggle is real

No, of course not

Anywhere the wind blows

Can’t get you out of my head

Get up. Run 5k. Go home.

Not going according to plan

What goes up must come down

Never felt so upset by a run in my life

The long and short of it

Deload week part 1

Ups and downs

It’s cold and dark and I can’t do what I can’t do

Thoroughly nasty interval tempo thing

Recalibrating

Every cloud has a silver lining

Where do we go from here?

Longest run of my 50s

Monday is the new Friday

Another week, another Broadwater course change

Have you switched it off and on again?

Today I am feeling old

First “failed” workout

Elevate, good times

Oh good. Hills.

12km and pirates

Scream if you wanna go faster

Nothing to say here

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Short long and slow

Starting a deload week with some Fartlek

The most horrible hour of the plan so far

A sluggish parkrun

From one extreme to the other

First day of the third (second) week. A real mojo-killer

The start of my first ever training plan, an attempt to run only my second ever sub-2hr half marathon.
