Monster Blog Update!
Apologies for the lack of blog posts – been quite a busy week for me. Anyway, here’s a bit of a catch-up: Friday 29th Thoroughly enjoyable four miler in my Newtons, which incidentally have already covered over 100 miles! Really great to stretch out the legs at lunch time… Splits: 7:58 7:34 7:19 7:18 (Loving [...]
Last Wednesday In May
Wednesday am: Tremendous morning run in the Newtons. Felt great, even got caught in a refreshing 10 minute shower. Good start to the day. 4.36 miles in 32:30 Wednesday pm: Headed to the rec center to swim after work. Unfortunately, there were lifeguard tests taking place and all swim lanes were closed to the public. [...]

Recovery Run And Another Swim
Ran down to the rec center again this evening – an easy 7 miles and nice recovery run after yesterday’s 20 miler. Feet were a bit sore – not sure whether the cause is worn out Adidas Supernova Glides (my long run shoe) or the impact from the plyometric exercises in the three StrEndurance workouts [...]
Saturday Swim

Nothing spectacular, but it was nice to work through the 50m barrier and keep going for 5 consecutive laps. Early days for the [...]
