Planning that next run….

By richard

I know in this day an age of GPS watches/phones/mp3 players etc that can track you run and tell you numerous stats about your run…

I find you can’t beat the old O/S map and this little web page to plan you next run with..

gmap-pedometer.com

I sit down with my map, decide where i want to run, normally from home to the gym before work, check out the map, and then use the gmap peometer to see how far the run is.

You can even (a bit more technical i know) download this to one of the above said gadgets.

Hope you find it as useful as i do.

By richard
Great out on a 6 mile run yesterday, and gradually started getting a pain in the outside of the knee!
Not upt my mileage this week….. not sure why its happen.
Stopped straight away, walked home, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and called the physio.
Going to rest, for the rest of this week, bit of stretching and straighten exercises and try a small run at the weekend!
I’ll keep you all posted!

Winter Walking!

By richard

Ok, so, Marathon training is hard at the best of times, but 15 cms of snow on the day I’m supposed to be doing my long run of the week??

Anyway made the most of it and did a few miles walking in the snow, really good strength training! and even better views!

Running in the cold!

By richard

Went out for a 6 mile training session yesterday, all was going well until i started to head home, with about 3 miles to go, the ICY wind coming head on, at which point i realised i could do with some ear protection…….

By the time i got home i had ear ache in both ears…….

time to by a running hat, or i could just borrow my wife’s ear muffs!!!

But i look silly enough running, let alone running with a couple of fuffly panda’s on my ears!

Its all a learning curve!
