Ok, so todays lunch time dilemma. Should I go to KFC or do my run at lunch time. KFC it is then. dirty food....mmmmm. .........its ok, I went for my run when I got home after work. ...

Wow, that was incredible. Saturday was an amazing day - I'm going to struggle to get down how great the experience was, so it's a long one and prepare for some repeated superlatives! We had two full days at the Playitas resort in Fuertev...

I've been using the Vibram FiveFingers I was given a little bit since I've been back from New Zealand and I think I like them! As I've said before you need to start off slowly with such things and do some short runs in them at first and ...

After the lake swim and the flat bike course was a nice (3 lap) Half Marathon around the lakes. (for more photos check out our facebook and flickr photo galleries) Cotswold Classic 2012 Facebook Photo Gallery:|-*-|:http://www.facebook.co...

I am racing next weekend. After the crash I was sure I'd race but earlier in the week after the reality of my road race and bruising set in, I seriously wondered if I would be fit. Monday I searched everywhere for Duoderm hydrocolloid d...

Slept really well after my yoga, now for my morning swim, lunchtime run and long swim this evening at Mountbatten Centre......TEXT PTNG49 £10 to 70070 or go to http://www.justgiving.com/SamTruelove1 and donate - please help me out in raisin...

Tuesday and Thursday this week I spent training for aikido in preparation for testing tomorrow for 4th kyu rank. Just want to get over since I'm somewhat freaking about my swim for 70.3 as bike and run I have down but swim is iffy. Fit in ...

Wow thanks to commentor yesterday reminding of this blog but due to work and martial arts testing I've neglected to update this in LONG time! Tested and ranked up in Tang soo do and tai chi, ran a marathon in 4:38, ran a 5k in under 25 min...

After the flatness of the week before it was an absolute joy to feel good again training. Last week when I blogged I'd just done an interval hill training session in the sun and was feeling better for it. The week continued in this vein...

Found a much tougher hill than normal forest park skinker which is long but not very steep. A relatively short 200-400m hill that is almost 20% grade and grass in front of the St. Louis Art museum. Though shorter, it was really tough and on...

I planned to head out to Richmond Park for a bike/run brick session on Saturday. It struck me this is what most of my Saturdays look like this time of year... 8.30am Struggle to wake up. Only got myself to blame as I stayed up until 2.3...

Well, it seems I’m having a major motivational slump. This is not so ideal less than four weeks before the half ironman in Fuerteventura. I haven’t been sleeping particularly well for a few weeks, and so I’m feeling pretty tired. This is...

After the sea swim and the hilly bike course was the marathon. Heres a few of the photos. The mens winner Sylvain Rota. The female winner Regula Rohrbach. The run course was a long straight road, a little boring? My favourite photo of ...

After the leaders passed us out on the 112 mile bike course for their 3rd lap we headed back into the centre of Bolton to watch the marathon. The centre of Bolton was covered in Ironman banners, especially the finishing area in front of th...

After the 3.8km sea swim and the 112mile alpine bike course came the marathon along the promenade. The mens leader (Frederik Van Lierde) through the view finder of another spectator I'm not sure if it's fair for the top 3 places to have a ...

Ran out 3.5 miles pretty nice pace of about 8min. Unfortunately due to dehydration and pacing out too fast I threw up just after halfway and could barely run so took about a 10min walk/jog pace till I made it home. Nutrition in particular h...

Did quick sustained easy pace of 9.1 miles that had a 2 steep hills and climbs going out and coming back in. Feels good to run again after taking family to shop and see STL since last week! Love my family and will miss them but need to focu...

I'm pleased with that. New shoes, a new pacing strategy and a huge 1min 18secs knocked off my PB for a 5KM run. From 19:46 3 weeks ago to 18:28 on Sunday - read how I did it here. I wonder if there's more to come?...

Saturday's mini tri of last week went ok. The stuff I was expecting to play up - the calf for example - did not make a guest appearance but guess what, the stitch I got last year did. This is clearly something that is going to happen unles...

Began with 5.5 mile run with Nina Cheong who really, really knows how to set pace as a short distance runner! We averaged mid to high 9min miles for whole run and she made me work hard on hills and down hills. Followed with swim in afternoo...
