Well done Forest, now come on County!!

26/05/2022

It’s been quite a few weeks so far from a running perspective!

🤘 New routes for CDRC have gone really well! 🗺

🤘 Two (separate) sub-5 minute miles 💨 (4:47 and 4:55)

🤘 A podium place at Carsington Water and club record for the course! 🍾

🤘 First club finisher at a league road running race (first time ever I think!) 🏅

🤘 5-mile PB at Beeston AC’s Trent 5 race (27:40)

Really looking forward to next month’s races too. Lots to look forward to, especially feeling so inspired by my runners and club mates achieving awesome things! Momentum is a powerful thing!

Tough day at Wrexham today. PB of 2:47 down from 2:49, but definitely suffered in those final miles!

Not the sub 2:40 I was aiming for, but there’s always another opportunity!

Manchester HM is next for me!

And my goodness, I’ve got a cracking blister on one big toe and a beautiful bright pink nail on the other big toe! Won’t be sharing photos of those you’ll be pleased to know!

I feel so proud to share this with you all! I hope it inspires you as much as it does for me!

On Easter Monday, one of my runners, Arran Linton-Smith did something he never thought possible…He ran his fastest ever marathon, at the age of 66, just 5 minutes off a Boston Marathon Qualifying Time, smashing his PB by almost 20 (yes, twenty) minutes! 🏃🏻‍♂️💨

Two and a half years ago, he got in touch with me, having just got in to running and ‘completing’ a Couch to 5k programme in the second or third week (they usually take 9 weeks!).

Over time, Arran and I worked hard on his running form, his efficiency and his strength to withstand the stresses of running increasingly longer distances, and more frequently.

Yes, there have been setbacks, but Arran has worked hard and trusted the process to help him with his main focus of improving his longer distance times.

He’s now made the following progress in those 2 and a half years:

5k: From 26:49 to 25:47 🔥

10k: From 55:42 to 53:07 🔥

Half Marathon: From 2:16 to 2:04 (done as part of a full marathon!) 🔥

Marathon: From 4:54 (debut) to 4:33 to 4:12! 🔥

Running isn’t all about times, but it can be important for many, as a gauge of improved fitness, or as a means of competing with oneself.

Arran was understandably delighted with Monday’s performance…and now we look to take the next step and make Arran’s dream of Boston Marathon qualification a reality. 🤯

What an inspiring story – and I feel so very fortunate to be helping him along his running journey!

Have a great day and weekend!!

Someone just said ‘fitness hack’ to me…

If you hear these words, don’t believe them! ❌

The only ‘shortcut’ to getting your fitness where you want it to be is to be patient and do the work. Consistently, sensibly and with discipline. 💪🏼

It doesn’t sound glamorous, it doesn’t appeal to our society’s thirst for convenience but it’s how our bodies work.

Want some examples? Check out the link in the comments.

Or stay tuned for tomorrow when I’ll share one of the most inspirational stories of fitness progress you’re ever likely to read!

How is your fitness journey going? What are you working towards?

Well, that was tough!

More lessons learned too. Every day is a school day right?! Too many gels on my person (not a training run do**us!!), but nutrition and hydration was pretty good.

30 second PB over 20 miles today at Milton Keynes festival. Windy in places but stayed honest with my effort and compared to this same race two years ago, 6 minutes faster and significantly quicker up the horrible hill at the end!

Good signs with plenty of training still ahead before project 240 at Wrexham!

Really pleased with that today, and thanks to H for allowing me to race on her birthday! 🙈❤️❤️❤️

Thanks also to DH for the video footage, cheering on and post-run celebratory hydration!! 🍻

I’m excited to share this! It was a fantastic webinar and as a partner, dad, coach, friend, man, it was really insightful and full of practical tips too.

This one isn’t targeted specifically at a male audience it doesn’t look like, but even if it was, I know that a LOT of women as well as men in sport would find this a very beneficial way to spend an hour of their time on Tuesday 15th March.

I’ll put the link in the comments. Please do share this with as many people as you can - it’s a great way of helping us all improve our understanding and ability to support.

Race Day tomorrow!

Can I hold target marathon race pace for 20 miles tomorrow ??? That is the big question!

The aim is to run this in around 2:00, or 2:01, in preparation for a sub 2:40 marathon attempt at the end of April at

Let me know in the comments what you predict for my time!

Have a great weekend everyone, what are your running plans this weekend?

11/03/2022

Seriously can’t WAIT to share this news with you on Monday!

Also super excited to see and celebrate/commiserate with people who’ve entered the TCS London Marathon ballot on Monday too! It’s an announcement that can change your life, depending on what you do with the news (more on that on Tuesday next week!).

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
