my legs have been feeling it a bit recently, so I've treated myself to some max cushioned recovery shoes for those easier days. Puma MagMax, they are super plush. a great first run.

A nice lunch, 30 mins to blow out the cobwebs. Nice pace.

Brighton Marathon Weekend is always special; the city was buzzing, and the weather was great.

I had an amazing time running the 10k for Roald Dahl Children Charity; the link is still open for donations if anyone can spare a few quid.

Didn't hit the 40 mins I was looking for.

Too many bottlenecks and crowding at the start lost me a minute or so. Once I knew that was off I relaxed in to just enjoying the day!

Didn't upload yesterday's threshold run. Still not sure I'll hit the sub-40 on April 6th, I still might be a minute or so off the pace.

Nice base run to start the week off. The weather is looking good for the rest of the week, 20 days until race day.

Struggled with motivation today. Reflected in my pace. Tired despite 2 recovery days. Tomorrow is a new day!

Easy run today.

Testing out the Runna app, I like the interface and plan setting.

Anyone out there have any experience with it? Is it worth using long term? How does it hold up against Garmin?

I'm feeling the training ramp up now. I'm adding in 20 minutes of yoga before bed and extra morning strength sessions. Sub 40 before 40 is well and truly on!

Tough interval session today; they really take it out of you. I need to be doing more of these to build my engine up.

Long Run for Lunch.

Got pangs of jealousy seeing the half-marathon being set up on the seafront today. Next year!

Amazing night seeing the City String Ensemble perform the works of Joe Hisaishi by candlelight in the Brighton Pavilion.
