Tempo Wednesdays – Coached by an Olympian

July 14, 2016July 14, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 5 Comments

So I ran round my local park last night with an actual Olympian. No big deal. As part of an England Athletics initiative to encourage more women to take up coaching, some tenacious Eagles had arranged for British athletics legend Mara Yamauchi to lead a guest coaching session for the club. Mara competed for Team … Continue reading Tempo Wednesdays – Coached by an Olympian

Running Parallel, or Don’t Number Those Chickens

July 12, 2016July 12, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 10 Comments

At the moment I am whiling away my commuting time by reading a book charting one man’s love affair with the marathon distance; Keep on Running: The Highs and Lows of a Marathon Addict by Phil Hewitt. Phil is a journalist who first trained for the marathon distance on a charity place for London, and … Continue reading Running Parallel, or Don’t Number Those Chickens

When the Run Writes Itself

July 10, 2016July 10, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 1 Comment

I love Sunday long runs. Taking the pace down reduces the pressure, and gives you time to think, and to breathe. I read this blog post by emsrunningfree in the week. It talks about the Hebrew concept of 'selah', or stopping to pause and take a breath. I was very grateful for the post and it … Continue reading When the Run Writes Itself

Tea with Grandma

July 8, 2016July 10, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 6 Comments

If we were having coffee right now... ...well for a start it would be tea, since it's the afternoon. With a properly warmed pot bearing a cosy, china cup and saucer for you, milk in first. We would have the usual back and forth about letting it brew til it's strong enough to not be … Continue reading Tea with Grandma

To My Garmin, With Love

July 5, 2016July 10, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 5 Comments

We both knew this day was coming. You'll think it sounds trite, but it's not you, it's me.  We've had an amazing run together - countless amazing runs in fact. Well, not countless. You counted them.  But you no longer synch with my foot pod, and I miss knowing my cadence.  You refuse to upload … Continue reading To My Garmin, With Love

Just Keep Moving

July 3, 2016July 5, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 11 Comments

I have learned that there is no failure in running or in life, as long as you keep moving - Amby Burfoot Almost exactly a year ago, I took part in a 26 mile organised walk through the Peak District. During that day I had a very honest conversation with my cousin on a subject … Continue reading Just Keep Moving

Your Run, Your Choice

June 30, 2016June 30, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 5 Comments

I noticed an interesting piece by a fellow blogger Christina Lucia via the Reader earlier today which gave tips for running safely when you're out on your own. This grabbed my attention because the same subject was going through my mind last night. It was Tempo Run Wednesday, and although rain clouds were gathering it was … Continue reading Your Run, Your Choice

What I Like About Running

June 29, 2016June 29, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 3 Comments

As a member of a running club, I have loads of friends who are really into running. In contrast, outside my running circle I have a number of friends and one particular colleague who simply don’t understand at all why I spend the bulk of my free time out in all weathers in revealing day-glo … Continue reading What I Like About Running
