This blog is mainly to help me and Ron (my fabulous coach) keep track of what is going on in my training. Good days. Bad days. Successes and failures. Aches and pains. That sort of thing. But please come visit once in a while to see how we're getting on!

A couple of sixes and some new shoes


















12M double; recovery runs x2 & core strength exercises
6M am recovery run at 6.45min/M
6M pm recovery run at ~6.45min/M
Core strength exercises (six cycles)

I took it easy today. Two six mile jaunts. With no pack. And the bonus of a new set of trainers to make me feel a bit more full of bounce.

I'm not too achy after the 10K race - a bit sore in my glutes (which is unusual), but nothing else.

Core strength stuff after a big steak for dinner.

My new shoes are a bit of a departure. Well, kind of. They are a pair of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11. I've been running in Brooks shoes most of the time since my comeback to running. I started with a pair of the 9th edition of the Adrenaline and have then run my way through ten (yes TEN) pairs of the 10th edition. 5000 miles worth of shoe rubber. They seem to do the trick - I've hardly been injured - so I'm sticking with them. My racers (T6 racers) and spikes (Mach 12 cross-country) are Brooks too. If it was good enough to convince Zola to switch from barefoot, it's good enough for me!
