The Great North Run, the biggest half marathon in the world and I took part in it on Sunday 09th September 2018. What an amazing day! The atmosphere was amazing, there were thousands of supporters all

My Journey to the Great North Run I am trying hard to stick to the training plan that I’m following for a half marathon. I find that they work and if I don’t follow a plan I don’t run as regularly as I

On Wednesday I ran the last Wroxham series race of the year. The series consist of three 5k races. It’s not my favourite course even though it is a flat, fast course. The first kilometre is a slow incline

I set the alarm for 5.30am, I needed to go out early as it’s been so warm in the uk lately it’s not making running easy. I only needed to go for a 5km easy run so it wasn’t too bad. It was sunny and warm

Yay it’s Saturday This means parkrun which is 5k (3 Miles) the plan says I have to run 9 miles (about 15 km). Oh no, what to do? The solution- run to parkrun, run parkrun then run home from parkrun. It’s

Yesterday I got up at 5.45 am and forced myself to go for a run as I was supposed to of gone the day before but I didn’t go. I’m following the 12 week half marathon plan so I needed to go!so today’s run

Today’s run was interval training, urgghh. If you’ve read my other blogs then you’ll know I hate interval training but I want to get faster or I at least have to attempt them! Today’s intervals were run

I still haven’t got round to finding a training plan yet but I managed to force myself out of my bed early this morning so I could go for a run before work. Not sure how I did it though as I had a few

I really need to start training properly again there’s only 100 days till my next big race. For those of you that don’t know The Great North Run is in the north of England, it is a half marathon and it

Another day, another run. It's long run day. Today's plan was for a minimum of 13 miles, and if I had the energy, throw in some uptempo mile intervals. It was a very sunny day for a change with no rain,

So it's day 3 of the running plan and here is how I got on. Taking it nice and easy today. The idea was to get some easy recovery miles in, but mostly to enjoy the run. I decided a nice run up on the trails

So on to day 2 of my running training. My plan for today was a 3 mile tempo run followed by a recovery run on the treadmill in the evening. So I started out with the tempo run. I did 2 miles to warm up,

The day wouldn't be complete without seeing the red arrows. Its so easy to miss them. You hear that roar of the jet engines, and then suddenly , there they are streaking overhead!!

There are many costumes on show for the great north run. This minion was my favourite this year
