One of my favourite albums to run to.

my legs have been feeling it a bit recently, so I've treated myself to some max cushioned recovery shoes for those easier days. Puma MagMax, they are super plush. a great first run.

Loving the new pod. A weekly highlight.

A nice lunch, 30 mins to blow out the cobwebs. Nice pace.

Ran a 20-minute 5k for the first time in almost 2 years.

Brighton Marathon Weekend is always special; the city was buzzing, and the weather was great.

I had an amazing time running the 10k for Roald Dahl Children Charity; the link is still open for donations if anyone can spare a few quid.

Didn't hit the 40 mins I was looking for.

Too many bottlenecks and crowding at the start lost me a minute or so. Once I knew that was off I relaxed in to just enjoying the day!

So true. I was in the same mindset last year for a 1:30 half and did it in 1:29:45. Raceday boost is real!

Didn't upload yesterday's threshold run. Still not sure I'll hit the sub-40 on April 6th, I still might be a minute or so off the pace.

Long run done, it's taper time.

Hottest day of the year. Couldn't not put on the running shoes.

Over and Under 1k Tempo Intervals.

Hoping to get some long Yoga and steam sessions in over the next week pre-race day.

Tuesday Intervals, getting stronger at the peaks. Looking forward to that taper next week.

Nice base run to start the week off. The weather is looking good for the rest of the week, 20 days until race day.

Currently training to do a Sub-40 10k beofre I'm 40.

Came down here in 2021. It's wonderful, at the end of my road I can turn left and run to the seafront in 15 mins turn right and it's a 15 minute run to the South Downs. Such a great vibe and good people down here.

Currently training for a Sub 40 minute 10k with race day on April 6th so in the peak of upping pace at the moment.

Much better day! Intervals are tough but rewarding.

Thanks Andy, you are absolutely right.

Struggled with motivation today. Reflected in my pace. Tired despite 2 recovery days. Tomorrow is a new day!

Easy run today.

Testing out the Runna app, I like the interface and plan setting.

Anyone out there have any experience with it? Is it worth using long term? How does it hold up against Garmin?

Great Album. Remember seeing them supporting The Boxer Rebellion at the Camden Barfly a week or so before this album came out.

I'm feeling the training ramp up now. I'm adding in 20 minutes of yoga before bed and extra morning strength sessions. Sub 40 before 40 is well and truly on!

Tough interval session today; they really take it out of you. I need to be doing more of these to build my engine up.

Never let running become a chore. If it feels like it is you need to determine what made it becone a chore. Once you know what that is switch that part up, is it the weather? Do some indoor training, is it a tough training regime? Look at adjusting it. Is it an injury? Take a break.

Easy run to start the week.

Intervals tomorrow.

5 weeks to race day!

Long Run for Lunch.

Got pangs of jealousy seeing the half-marathon being set up on the seafront today. Next year!

Does anyone have any good pre bed time yoga/stretching routines/videos they recommended?
