Day 21 - I Love Rest Runs But, I Hate Chavs

-

Its the final countdown.. doo doo do do! doo doo do do do! Only 10 days to go for us Janothoners' and Ive been thinking that once its over I will keep up the amount of running I have this month but I think I'm going to introduce a rest day on Friday which involves doing nothing! But I'm going to work harder in the week, as I'm losing my Saturday runs to swim sessions. I chickened out of breaking the 100 mile mark today, I stuck to my guns and did the rest run, it went well until the last mile I run past a youth center and the little bar-stewards decided to hurl abuse at me, but I had my shuffle on so I couldnt hear anything and one lad decided to stand in the way as he thought he was "cool" i just glided past him, I think if I was in a mood im sure I would have dropped my shoulder and floored the chav. As soon as they were gone it was a glide home and a new PB for the route. Not much else going down today so im on the sofa, finished my poached eggs and n...

Day 30 - The Hardest Run So Far

Day 30 started by getting up early and and getting out on my scheduled run. I totally forgot I went out on the bike yesterday and never thought I would be ache and I didn't until my first step of the run. I got about quarter of a mile and it hit me... Steel legs! It felt like I was running in a suit of armour, I did not want to be out running in the cold and on the road. The first 2 miles were a "knight"mare. I saw one runner in front of me, about half a mile so I made a target to chase them down within 4 minutes. I beat that target and passed them in 3:05, 55 seconds before my target time was up, so I must of kicked on and got out of my "I don't want to be here" slump. I finished todays run in a PB time so after a sluggish start I definately worked hard on the second half split of the run. We only have 1 more session to go to finish Janothon, I'm looking forward to my rest day on Wednesday... When I got home I had 15 minutes to...

Day 31 - The End Of Janothon, The Start Of Something Else...

Well we have been all looking forward to this day, and here it is! Congrats to all people who have completed Janothon. Mondays are the elite group session, while I was driving down the car phone went off, the bloke that arranges the training cant make it plus another 2 of the group aren't attending tonight as they are stuck in work so the suggested session was 7 x 1km, I was not looking forward to that as the 2 young lads where probably going to be there and leave me behind. When I got there my assumption was correct it was just me and the 2 fastest lads of the group. When I suggested the 7 x 1km session they looked at me and said "I'm not doing that!" lets just go for a run. I was over the moon they said no to the speed work! Its been 30 days hard training and I didn't want that on my last day of Janothon. We did a run what is called around Europe, Its a route that takes us up hill to the top of the mumbles in Swansea when we get to the half way...
