suewatson commented on the blog post The power of track I did my track session this morning, Simon."Something" like yours, only 5x600 at 5k pace. Luckily, I had the track to myself as my sort of speed session looks nothing like one!...........6 min miles?......makes me weep!

Simon Freeman wrote a new blog post: The power of track For the last 8 months or so I have been making a pilgrimage every Tuesday night to the New River stadium to meet up with Nick, Phoebe and a group of the runners they coach to take part in track sessions. These are great fun (always), bloody hard (often) and inspiring (usually). Last night was [...]

benmoreau wrote a new blog post: Fagan gives food for thought The news about Martin Fagan this week was at first glance another story of elite runners with more money than sense showing utter disrespect for their fellow competitors in a pursuit for glory (more cash). Yet reading a little more into his situation, if we believe it, revealed a side to athletics that we rarely [...]

suewatson wrote a new blog post: can I be cured in nine weeks? We went to Paris last weekend to celebrate Colin's significant birthday. We walked over 20miles and saw nearly all the unmissable sights. We went to see the Eiffel tower at night as it lights up on the hour for 10mins...... quite stunning. I dont do well with heights and it made me feel quite ill [...]

chrisohara posted an update: Hello,

Just a quick post to see who is coming to Portugal this year and to see if anyone is interested in grouping together to hire a minibus?

Not sure if it is a viable suggestion right now but thought it would be good to get an idea of numbers and flight times, so we don’t have to fit 15 of us into a Volkswagon polo and have people fighting on who sits on Dave’s knee! :)

Let me know what you think and I will investigate.

Cheers

Chris

I was in Berlin anyway for New ears Eve with some friends and they had found this race and so wanted to do it in fancy dress. This gave me ideas about running it instead of my tempo run and also join in the fun by seeing what costume I could wear and still be [...]

pennyelliot wrote a new blog post: TADWORTH 10mls First run of the year and it has to be the TADWORTH 10mls, I,m not sure why I do it as it's such hard work. Anyway it was bright and sunny, cold wind. As usual a lot of pushing at the start, soon you start the hills, nice drop down then up again down to [...]

suewatson wrote a new blog post: New Year Resolution I awoke suddenly to the crashing sound of breaking glass. In my confused state, I tried to fathom the possibilities….broken windows, burglars, loss of precious Christmas presents, including my new luminous green running gloves. (Santa has such a sense of humour!) I stumbled to the window to see what was going on. There was a [...]

lornawinter wrote a new blog post: Hmpf....feeling sluggish .... So, the nice weather stopped and the dark nights came super quickly. The last month seems to have been a really tough one. I'm starting to feel like the 'honeymoon' period here is over, and reality is settling in. Really missing my friends, especially my running buddy, and some of the other comforts of home. [...]

suewatson wrote a new blog post: A Note to Father Christmas The dust covers were only off for a short while. My latest comeback was going well. Then, one night the psoas spasm struck. This was a horrible pain, rendering me unable to move, let alone get out of bed. So I have been in rehab once again. Today saw me throwing the dust covers off [...]

Annabelle wrote a new blog post: Clonakilty Marathon I would never have heard of the Clonakilty Marathon but Clonakilty, near Cork in Ireland is my Father’s second home, he loves the place and visits at least twice a year, so it was him that told me about the marathon. So I decided I was going to run this low key marathon for my [...]

Simon Freeman wrote a new blog post: SPOTY is history - here is RESPY! I have been frustrated by the nominees for the BBCs Sports Personality of the Year before, but this year my head almost popped with the damned stupidity of there being NO women on the shortlist and three golfers! I don't really care whether or not the BBC want the show to be representative of what [...]

Hi all, I had some great news last week in that Experian (the parent company of Techlightenment, who I work far too hard for) agreed to sponsor me! They will give me some money each year to spend on training camps and physio/healthcare as well as race travel. This is obviously great and takes some [...]
