2026 so far…

So yeah, thorns. 2 weeks of sat on the sofa with my head torch on and a pair of tweezers pulling them out of my hands. Don't trip into thorn bushes yeah? What happened at the end of 2025 after Northern Ireland. uuuh.... a week or so of recovery, and then trying to get some pace back into my legs for the Percy Pud in December. I had just over a month to recover, train and taper for the first weekend in December and run on my 10k pb course. In theory I had all the aerobic capacity I […]

My Sunday race got downgraded! 40k -> 25k and 2400m ->1200m elevation. Weather was looking too nasty for people to be out in the mountains for 8 hours.

Well, I guess I run hard then!

Massively unprepared for #SkyRunEryri on Saturday. Calf injury means my brain isn't in it. Stressed about it being 17k till the only check point in the heat when hobbling up Snowdon.

Vaguely started to get my #running mojo sorted again following the #ringOfFire last September. I've had about 3 colds since then and took a fall in a race a month ago which has really knocked any consistent training on the head.

Finally did some training planning with the coach yesterday and we've pencilled in the #SkyRunEryri Copper trail in May. Although the bigger races look more like what I want, there is no way I'll be back to 40k+/3-5k ascent in 3months after the last 6! #skyRunning
