Since tri season finished I’ve been pretty focused on the running. Going out 3 times a week for distances of between 8 and 16K and managing to steadily improve my average speed. I agreed to enter the Marathon back after Kathryn and Ian did Bath but I didn’t initially sign up as I wanted to […]
Not the Darwinian sense this one but a “high-octane urban-based running event with obstacles designed to keep you on your toes” as the organizers put it. Supposed to be 10K but actually more like 14K the race started and finished at the Millenium Centre via the Millenium Stadium but by way of a pile of
It’s all been going on in the last few weeks. Been training well and also been doing quite a few different events – started with the Gower Bike Ride on the 5th July which was 29 miles of undulating roads starting and ending in Swansea and taking in a good section of the Gower –

Although it wasn’t announced when we entered Nike contacted everyone doing it’s Human Race 10K just before the event to say there was a free tshirt in it for all participants. Kathryn is particularly keen on the race Tshirt so
Two quick updates to my last two posts. We did the Human Race along with many thousands of others and despite what I said about an injury I managed a new PB – 49 minutes 25 seconds is almost another 2 minutes off my previous best. I guess the rest I’d had did me good.
Tomorrow both Kathryn and myself have entered Nike’s Human Race Event.
