Progressive Baker’s Dozen
Tonight’s run initially started as a double-sock blister test (thin Newton socks against the skin, cushioned Balega socks against the shoe), but soon developed into one of those addictive progressives. Six miles turned into eight, eight into ten, before I finally called it a day at thirteen. The weather was absolutely perfect for a run [...]
Ride, Run, Ride
My first “two runs in two days” since the beginning the comeback and yet another test on the road to recovery. Rather than drive the couple of miles to the PAAC (Princess Anne Athletic Complex), I hopped on my mountain bike, took a slight detour and used the three miles as a gentle warm-up for [...]
Five Mile Progressive

Friday Double Day

Six Mile Run To The Pool
Nice progressive run to the local rec center, with each mile slightly faster than the previous one. As usual the first one was nice and slow (7:58), but followed by a quicker 7:30. I chose to run at mid-day in the hope of getting used to the warm weather we’re having at the moment. The [...]
Indoor Spin Followed By A Progressive Run
Did another indoor spin this evening – nothing special, just another 40 minutes in the saddle. I’d also planned a four mile run after the bike ride, but to be honest, didn’t really feel like it. However, the sun was shining and I decided to head out and “see how I felt”. I’m glad I [...]
