The downside of having a training program is having to stick to it, whether or not you feel like it. This morning I did not feel like it. However, I still jumped on the machine and set to with the specified task of running 10 miles. After a brief warm-up, I varied the speed every [...] As per the last few Mondays, I did a short run this morning to take the edge off yesterday’s long one. What was instantly surprising was that, beyond a slight initial stiffness in the legs, I felt no other after-effects and happily increased the speed, varying from 6mph initially to between 7 and 8.5mph. In [...] I’ve not much to say for myself this morning. The thought of running outside briefly crossed my mind before I climbed aboard the machine… would that the Bok was here to force me out! I varied the speed much like Wednesday and finished five miles in 39.24, average 7.6mph. There was no drama and the only frisson [...] Yesterday was always going to be a bit of a rush, hence my delay in posting. I had a really interesting meeting in London late morning, spent the afternoon reading HBR and networking in the Alumni lounge at London Business School and then participated as a Judge (a pseudo potential early-stage investor) in a Trade [...] This morning Bill Faust and I had volunteered to be part of a Career Speed-Dating event for year 9 students at local Oathall School, which turned out to be a really fun event. As a result I didn’t get a chance to do my normal Monday morning short run, so instead I took a late [...] Lately I seem to have been becoming a more reluctant runner and a conversation with the Big Man (Mr DP) yesterday highlighted to me the reason why. Where once the running used to be about fun and socialising, it now has a clear purpose. And since each of us has our own running program, mileage [...] Kim has been in NYC for a week and having collected her from Heathrow early yesterday, I drove into London and didn’t get back home until late. Hence my Wednesday 10-miler got turned into a Thursday 10-miler. Based on my run earlier this morning though, I don’t think I like running on Thursdays! Maybe it [...] After running 20 miles on the machine yesterday, I was unsure how I would feel about getting back on it again this morning. But after the inclemence of yesterday, the day that dawned was beautiful and with sun streaming through the window it was hard to feel anything other than upbeat. With a hasty espresso [...] My plan had been to run the ten miles from Woodingdean to the old Shoreham power-station this morning. And then to run back again. But the forecast was for extreme inclemence, consisting of North-Easterly gales and heavy rain… and for once the forecast turned out to be right. The thought of running the second ten miles [...] It’s late now, but when I climbed aboard the magic carpet to do my Friday run it was only just light. More to the point, I was hardly awake… and maybe I just dreamed that I ran. Who knows? Because it was early and I was half asleep (and also because I’m building up to [...] |
