Park run #1 - Hove Prom is fabulous

Yesterday I did  my first Parkrun of 2020 after missing New Years Day injured and it was my home run of Hove Prom Parkrun. Easily the best Parkrun in the country! The reasons being: 1. I just need to roll out of the front door and I am there 2. It is flat (although the weather can be challenging at times) 3. It has the sea - which makes me happy (although as in point 2 can cause weather related challeneges)  and then there are all the reasons why I love Parkrun generally - even though, when asked, I will always claim to hate running. The diversity and friendliness of the Parkrun community amazes me. It is such a supportive atmosphere. My 2020 challenge is a marathon but for many it could just be to get out in the fresh air more, do a bit more exercise, meet people, to get stronger, to get faster or just to run a 5km. Parkrun, whereever you are allows you to do all of these things. You can run - Hove prom has some seriously fast club runners if that is your challeng...

How long before my legs forgive me?

 One down - two to go.  The London Triathlon, number one of my three London endurance challenges is complete. Just over a week later and my legs are working normally again.  I ran 10km on Saturday - SLOWER than my tri 10km. SLOWER!! I knew that the tri was going to be the easiest of the 3 events. Yes I know how that sounds, but bear with me. I have done one before, on a much tougher course. And, the variety of doing three different events is good for me, it lets all of me get tired. Not just my feet (i'm looking at your marathon) or my shoulders (swim pain is real).  I had targets for the race.  1. Don't die. 2. 32 minute swim  3. Eat on the bike  4.  1.15 Run.  I am alive! I missed the swim time, but I am pretty happy with a 35minutes in water that resembled a washing machine and I got kicked in the head by an over competitive boy!  In my last tri I did not consume fluids or calories on the bike which fankly left me a bit of a mess by t...

Local Landmarks Half

Image
I had been struggling for motivation a bit this week and hadn't been out but I had decided that I was going to do my Local Landmarks run - www.llhm.co.uk/local-landmarks and I had been really looking forward to it all week. Not being people for doing things by halves me and the future Mrs Katie went the whole hog. She didn't run with me today because she is still a bit broken but we will swap roles soon when she does her local landmarks. So here is my run (solo and at appropriate distances from other runners) ... (I must also acknowledge how lucky I am that these world famous landmarks are on a 13 mile loop from home)  Bag drop attendant was suitably grumpy To be honest I could have done with the starting gantry being a bit bigger but in times of crisis you make do with what you can get I suppose! Neighbourhood number 1 - Greenwich. The Royal Observatory and the meridian line - good place to start really! The Naval College - In less contagious times...
