So, Monday the first of March. Since I always start things I have to try hard at (like healthy eating or going to the gym, or in this case both) and since I always feel more motivated at the start of a new month for some reason, the fates seemed to be telling me today [...]

Previously, on Marathon Training…..
I injured my leg, thought it was Shin Splints, but it turned out not to be and actually to be something to do with muscles around the shin (which is slightly differeny I’m told) then the leg got better after a lot of rest, then I played badminton and it started hurting [...]

It’s with a slight depression that I have to concede to not having done any training whatsoever today. I was talking to a friend of mine at lunch and she told me she is also planning to run a marathon, but unlike me she is not telling anybody so there is no pressure on her [...]

Being injured sucks balls. I don’t know whether it’s a bit stupid of me, but I’m not going to the doctor about the shin splints issues. I’m sure that that’s what it is, so I’m a bit reluctant to pay €65 to be told that. Also, I’ve two friends who are physicos and a sister [...]

Ryan Phillips – Marathon Training – Day 81 – Friday 15 January 2010
Today was another day off from Marathon Training. Or, as I should properly call it, a rest day. Having done the 3 mile jog on the threadmill yesterday, my legs are a bit tired, but not injured or feeling too shabby so that’s [...]

Disaster. Unmitigated, total and utter disaster.
I could just leave it there to be honest. Today’s training was a badminton match. It was against an Aer Lingus team, and we lost. Again. And worse, I played horrifically badly. Like awful. Each match I play a mens doubles and a mixed doubles. Both matches went to three [...]

What is it about weights and exercise that yourr muscles are always moer sore two days after exercising them than the day after. I KIND of get the science, but it’s stil not fair because you’re lulled into a false sense of security when you feel relatively fine the day after exercise, then BAM, the [...]

You probably (a) can’t make out what’s in that photo, and (b) once I tell you will wish you hadn’t found out. That is a little baby puddle of sweat. I know this principally because it’s mine and because I was watching it grow as I cycled my now customary 7km cycle on the sitty [...]

Back to the Gym at Wyckham point after an afternoon in bed nursing my cold. This should help sweat it out, and my goodness was there a lot of sweat.
I did my, now customary, 20 minute (7km) cycle on the sit down bike and 20 minutes on the cross trainer at a cost of 500 [...]

Today’s training was absolute pants. I didnt do any gym work or swimming so i was just relying on badminton for all my physical workout, and except for an epic halfcourt singles knockup, it would have been a complete waste of time to be honest. I played 2 games of mixed doubles with my partner, [...]
