Salomon Bargains
A trip into town yesterday to see the latest Batman movie resulted in some new running kit courtesy of the Tiso sale. Unlike a lot of ‘sales’ of late, there were some substantial reductions to be had and I came home with his ‘n’ hers (for the wife!) Salomon Rx Break Sandals which should be useful more
Recovery Time & The Devil O’ The Highlands
The legs are already back to normal after an excellent spin bike session last night. This seems to have eradicated the last of the tightness that I had been feeling since finishing the 40 mile Clyde Stride Ultramarathon. Considering that the 43 mile Devil O’ The Highlands is now just 10 days away, it’s probably more
2012s First (& Hopefully Last) Non PB
The 40 mile Clyde Stride Ultramarathon turned into a test of my resolve this weekend. After approximately 6 miles of acute shin splint pain, 4 miles of happy running soon gave way to a feeling that I can only describe as ‘running on empty’! Had it not been for the encouragement of Tommy, with whom more
Please Vote For Me
I recently entered a competition to win the services of Scott Baptie, Nutrition and Fitness Advisor and director of www.foodforfitness.co.uk. I heard this morning that I made the final 10 which is great. The ‘only’ thing is that I now need to win the public vote over at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.496883486994134.132079.224938874188598&type=1 I am the one clad in black more

New post at ‘The Running Bug‘, ‘#nosuchthingasabadrun‘. Given the ‘summer’ we have been experiencing of late, I am sure that many of you have found yourself in a similar position to the one that I was in this weekend past. I hadn’t actually intended to post again so soon, given that I only recently posted my more
www.longestdayrun.com
I forgot to post anything about the www.longestdayrun.com in the wake of the West Highland Way Race. It’s a great idea and, fortunately for me, it coincided with the West Highland Way Race, meaning that I had the potential for a high mileage. I missed the submission deadline on www.dailymile.com but, fortunately, was still included more
Inov8 Roclite 315 & iFit
We are heading to the Cairngorms again this weekend. With various weather warnings in place, I think it is safe to say that I could safely have left the Salomon sleeveless vests out of the kit that I packed but you have to live in hope! By all accounts, there is a chance we could see a months more
Lessons Learned
New post at The Running Bug, ‘Lessons Learned‘. It is coming up to 2 weeks since I completed the 95 mile West Highland Way Race and the body and energy levels are finally starting to feel more like they should. I don’t know what, exactly, I expected in terms of recovery after a 95 mile more
