Unexpected PB in the bag today at the #Brighton10k! I ran a PB here last year and didn’t think I’d be able to break it so soon after injury.
31:24 chip time. Delighted!

My main job at the #GreatSouthRun was to get my club mate over the line in under 55 mins for 10 miles. We had a great pack to work with. I led out the first 4 miles, then took a break behind others before leading just him for miles 7-8 when the pack broke up. He got 54:59, so job done!

I’m disappointed with that but only been back at training for 2 weeks after injury. Left my racing shoes at home & treated it like a threshold training session. Legs struggled but overall fitness was OK. Miserable conditions, but great group & great support!!

Great South Run 2025: the threshold sessions. Coming back from injury means not going for a stormer today, but should still be quick. Weather is crap but should have a tailwind to finish. Let’s go!

#Garmin v #Strava race prediction times, returning from injury. Not far off each other this time, though my half marathon and marathon times seem like they’re based on training load, others on VO2 Max. Sub-15 5k is a dream that is probably out of reach… but not bad for a 40-year old I’d say #running

Less than a week from seeing a #physio for an ultrasound on my #hamstring, I was #running pain free. He determined my hamstring is fine; it was my sciatic nerve causing me discomfort & pain.
This exercise is ‘neural flossing’ - 10 days later & I’m symptom free!
Worth every penny! #sciatica

Despite feeling ready to train after figuring out my injury and treatment, #Garmin wants me to rest for 64 hrs!
The recommended load dropped about 2 wks ago, but even then I would be out of range.
I will listen to my body, but I don’t think I’ll have ‘Productive’ for a while!

Applied for a Championship place in the #LondonMarathon for 2026!
They changed the criteria last minute for half-marathon time entries (must not have done a marathon before & no GFA place if unsuccessful), but I still qualify.
This is my major focus now but have to wait until November to find out 🙏🏼

Less than a week after getting the right diagnosis of my injury (sciatic nerve, not hamstring), I ran virtually pain-free last night for the first time in over 6 weeks! Pushed it to the limit.
Going to see the right physio changed everything.
10 mins easy, 10 mins steady, 10 mins LT + drills & plyos

7 x 1k (2 min) Marker session last night. I’ve only done one of these before.
Getting sub-3 minute average is stuff of dreams, but managed 2:56.7/km average last night! Buzzing. Not bad for a man fast approaching 40!

I got a new watch, the @garminuk.bsky.social #Forerunner570. It tracks wrist HR much better than my old #Fenix5. My resting HR was 43/42 on my old watch, 36 on my new!
36 is more accurate, according to my nurse wife who sometimes checks my HR when I’m sleeping 🤣
570 is a great watch!!
