running, reading, nonsense.
There was a time not so long ago when I worked in a running shop. My main role was to perform gait analysis. I would assess runners on a treadmill, both in motion and via a video camera attached to the back of the machine in order to see if customers over-pronated or - in… Continue reading Self Support, Top-End Trainers, and a Bank Holiday Bog.
After a week of being injured but actually not really dealing with the fact that I was injured correctly - as in I wasn’t actually resting - I finally convinced myself to stand down for a few days. Which is theoretically unhelpful when comes to my weekly running post but in reality not running is… Continue reading Yoga, Tracking, and a Bridge Too Far.
Sods Law, or if you’re American Murphy’s Law, means if something can go wrong it will go wrong. I in Britain it also means that the “wrong” will happen at the worst possible time. So, I take a week off work, thinking about all the running I’ll be able to do and yes of course… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 11/08
Ouch. Okay, I suppose it makes sense. I suppose really I should have seen this coming. I upped the mileage, I upped the effort, and now…I’m injured. Maybe it’s not too bad, but that’s five days without any running of significant note. About a mile into my recovery run on Monday morning after my first… Continue reading Hip Pain, a Joyride, and a Sense-Sational Run.
Buongiorno. I don’t what it is with me and the Italian language, but I’ve always wanted to learn it, and I’ve tried several times. It would be far more practical to pursue one of the languages that I began at school - French or Spanish - but I just…don’t want to. What I’m saying is… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 04/08
End of the Streak It’s the end of the month which means that this time next week my running streak can, and probably will have already, come to an end. On paper, running every day compared to running just most days shouldn’t make too much of a difference, and physically I don’t think it has… Continue reading Finishing, Sitting, and Something Wild.
I nearly always end up writing about the weather in the introduction to these posts, I don’t know why. I don’t really need to write an introduction at all, I could just dive right in and talk about the week’s stuff, it’s all fairly self-explanatory. But there’s something off about that. I feel like we… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 28/07
The reason why I wanted to give Super Mario Maker 2 a go is because of Super Mario Maker. Seems obvious, but I actually never played that first game. I can't even really say I'm that much of a Mario guy, I've missed most core iterations of the franchise. I liked Super Mario Maker without… Continue reading Super Mario Maker 2
The Break of Dawn I guess the idea behind doing a month of running everyday in July is that it should be nice and dry and there’ll be no excuses not to hit the road. And it has been dry. It has also been extremely hot the last few days, so much so that the… Continue reading A Morning Run, Keeping Consistent, and a Good Cause Coastal 10k.
Another week, another Sunday Morning Stuff. But this time I’m actually here on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee pre-long run writing this out as I always intended, a little Orville Peck on in the background. Very chill indeed. So let’s get right into it and take a little look at all the… Continue reading Sunday Morning Stuff 21/07
