Better than Kipchoge (Sort Of..!)

September 17, 2018September 17, 2018 ~ duffrunning ~ 3 Comments

Well. That was a tough one. Marathon number 4, Richmond RunFest Marathon. A small, local race in familiar territory. Why was I running this race again? I hadn't really considered that question beyond wanting to achieve a time goal. I'd booked it almost a year ago in the aftermath of getting around the 4:30 mark … Continue reading Better than Kipchoge (Sort Of..!)

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

2017 Running Awards Nomination

September 20, 2016September 20, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 6 Comments

It's probably fairly obvious from the length of my posts that I am not often speechless, but I was staggered yesterday when I found out that a very kind someone has nominated my blog for an award at the 2017 Running Awards. The Running Awards are an independent set of honours for everything to do … Continue reading 2017 Running Awards Nomination

#todaysbest

September 19, 2016September 19, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 2 Comments

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a runner in possession of working legs and a Garmin must be in want of a new PB. Or is it? On Saturday I had parkrun down as a ‘go for it’ session, one of those rare days during marathon training where I get coach approved licence to … Continue reading #todaysbest

Mind the Thigh Gap – Running & Body Image

September 10, 2016September 10, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 11 Comments

I mentioned a while ago that I was looking for some Ronhill Aspiration type shorts in red for the London Marathon. I want to be kitted out in colours which match the charity I am running for, Coram. I was looking for this particular type of shorts because I didn’t like the idea of the … Continue reading Mind the Thigh Gap – Running & Body Image

Persistently Positive

September 9, 2016September 9, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 10 Comments

Last Saturday I laughed at my physio. He was asking how many days off running I would take after my ‘marathon’ on Sunday. In between reminding him several times that it was a half marathon, not a marathon (he’s a cricketer, not a runner. Can’t get the staff) I confidently reassured him that I would … Continue reading Persistently Positive

In The Club

September 3, 2016September 26, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 6 Comments

I read a post in the week where the writer mentioned that they wished they could run with other people. I'm not sure why they can't (I'm sure they have their reasons), but I agree that running with other people can make a world of difference. It happens that today is exactly a year since … Continue reading In The Club

Punkrun

September 1, 2016September 2, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 10 Comments

I like the Chilli Peppers. I really like Offspring. But I have love on a very deep level for Green Day. I’ve been overthinking my running a lot lately – all the focus has been on the technicalities; pace, cadence, breathing, strength, rest, physio, nutrition, kit….and the list goes on and on. I had no … Continue reading Punkrun

An Actual Pain in the Arse

August 30, 2016August 30, 2016 ~ duffrunning ~ 9 Comments

It’s always good to be told you have an ‘itis’ that you can barely spell, isn’t it? A trip to the physio today for a routine sports massage to maintain my poor stressed calves turned into something a bit more sinister. I told the physio I’d been experiencing small amounts of pain in the bit of … Continue reading An Actual Pain in the Arse

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
