My thoughts after a morning run this morning where I actually made an effort to keep an eye on pace and form to maintain an overall steady effort, as opposed to being absolutely all over the place!
Early days still but who knew, losing weight, singing strength and conditioning in addition to your runs actually helped 🤷‍♂️ Next you’ll be telling me stretching is good for me 🤣

With all the ridiculous twists on marathons I’ve done - weighted, balcony, front drive and multiple fancy dress over the last few years. I’ve actually only done about a dozen organised events. However they’re always enjoyable, amazing to meet/catch up with people, and a good target to work towards to motivate me.

I’m training for a big challenge in June 2027 and want to find an 100km Ultra to do before Christmas and a 100miler by March to incorporate into my training.

Fellow runners, suggestions please 🙏

After a 6hr return trip to Barry, Wales for a meeting with Cardiff and Vale college for work. It felt good to get off my arse and get some training in.
Warm up on the spin bike and a weights session at then a 5km run with a couple of friends new to running. Complete with branded cap because I found it whilst sorting gear and thought why not 🤣

Just some thoughts as I return from the gym.

As a 43-year-old dad, nobody is paying me to train (sadly 🤣)

Nobody cares if I skip today.

Nobody notices if I gain a few pounds (I absolutely gained a lot more than that in recent times).

The challenge is keeping promises to yourself when nobody is watching.

As this week concludes and we look ahead to next. What’s one promise you’re keeping this coming week?

Mixed up the session a bit this morning, making the most of a quieter spell
Still a long way to go on the journey, but each run, cycle or gym session is progress ☺️

Always feels good to get the workout done before the day properly starts.
Gym went form mega full with a circuits class to almost empty, so I seized the chance for a quick pic, then tried to look slightly less miserable 🤣

Are you training today?

This is as much for me to remind myself as anyone else that needs it. I’ve been very inconsistent over the years, but on the right path now and want to continue.

For those I’ve tagged, it’s because I know you are doing this and wanted to say well done 👏 and enable you to inspire others.

Firstly, apologies for the serious face again, I cannot get comfortable with gym selfies and smiling for the camera after workout, unless the gym is empty, so walk up, snap a pic and go! 🤪

Managed a cheeky upper body session today to work the chest and arms a bit, then a few kettle bells swings to make sure my core didn’t think it was having the rest of the week off after yesterdays workout 🤣

Still a way to go, but getting there slowly 🫡

❤️💪

On this day 2 years ago, I was meant to be in the final stage of training to run the and instead, a freak football accident left me with a dislocated knee, torn ligaments and my arm broken in 3 places! 🤣

On the upside I did run it a year later in 2025 raising £8.5K for over the course of the 156mile route across the outer Hebrides.
think it’ll be more down hill if ran the other way! 🤷‍♂️🤪

My posting on here is a lot less frequent than once it was. A mixture of general life, and the concern many of us have, that I have little of interest worth sharing.
I did however, want to share this and genuinely mean it.
