San Francisco Chronicles Part 2 – Bridge to Bridge 5k

October 3, 2016October 27, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 3 Comments

The other reason we flew out on a Friday, and also the reason we were both taking it easy at parkrun, was because on Sunday we were due to run the Bridge to Bridge 5k from the Ferry Building to the Marina. Again, I had missed out on this race two years ago because of … Continue reading San Francisco Chronicles Part 2 – Bridge to Bridge 5k

Flying High with the Ealing Feeling

September 26, 2016September 27, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 5 Comments

It was the Ealing Half Marathon yesterday. The Ealing Half Marathon is not just any old half, and I’m not just saying that because of the Eagles connection. It’s not an Eagles race, but the wonderful organising team are Eagles, a lot of the volunteers are Eagles, and it’s by far the biggest race in … Continue reading Flying High with the Ealing Feeling

Back in the Game – JLL 5k 2016

August 26, 2016August 30, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 1 Comment

As Thursday got closer and closer this week my trepidation increased.... I'd been given an enforced week off by my coach to get some sleep, get my iron levels checked and just basically get some perspective. No runs for me since last Friday morning, with the plan being to break the running vacation with a … Continue reading Back in the Game – JLL 5k 2016

Burning Up the Track

August 6, 2016August 6, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 10 Comments

I always hated sports day at school. As far as I remember it, we never actually did any running or athletics training during PE lessons beyond some half hearted javelin flinging. So when our form tutors went round every year to demand that we sign up to run around the grass track on the school … Continue reading Burning Up the Track

Cursus Causum

July 27, 2016July 27, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ Leave a comment

I'm now getting into the serious bit of my marathon training plan for New York, with my long run due to hit 16 miles this weekend. For some reason I'm struggling a bit with keeping motivated so in an attempt to remind myself why I'm doing this again I have been re-reading my Rome marathon diaries. My … Continue reading Cursus Causum

The Ultimate Stadium Finish – Newham 10k 2016

July 17, 2016July 18, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 2 Comments

What better way to round off a week of training in which I got coached by an Olympian that to run a race that finishes on the London 2012 Olympic stadium track? Another chapter in the sunny running annals today as 15,000 runners of literally every shape and size headed to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park … Continue reading The Ultimate Stadium Finish – Newham 10k 2016

When Marginal Errors Beat Marginal Gains

July 2, 2016July 4, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 1 Comment

I was unusually quiet in the blogosphere yesterday because I was at the annual JLL Property Triathlon at Eton Dorney, the artificial lake in darkest Bucks where the London 2012 rowing events were held. Its the second year I've taken part in this event, which is organised by JLL for those in the property industry who … Continue reading When Marginal Errors Beat Marginal Gains

DOMS-inated – When to Apply the Brakes

June 28, 2016June 28, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ Leave a comment

I did the only sensible thing and went as She Ra, Princess of Power. Last week was a good one, running wise. I managed a good tempo run and a new parkrun PB, and rounded things off nicely on Sunday at the Harry Hawkes 10. A quick word on the race itself; it had a … Continue reading DOMS-inated – When to Apply the Brakes

It’s Getting Hot in Here…

June 12, 2016June 15, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 10 Comments

….So take off all your clothes… Well maybe not all of them, but I was very close to taking my club vest off halfway through the Osterley 10k this weekend. Sometimes, running feels easy. You hit your stride, you feel strong and powerful, and nothing else matters but keeping on putting one foot in front … Continue reading It’s Getting Hot in Here…

There are 22 stages and 11 runners per team, which means that each runner has to run a leg of the relay on … Continue reading Multi-Day Running – Green Belt Relay
