It’s Friday, and the weekend landed!! Woop Woop. So, back down to Marlay Park for another walk. Ok, now at this stage I can appreciate the point that I might be taking the walking thing a bit far, since all I seem to be doing at the moment is walking. Again, I put it to… [Continue Reading]

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… [Continue Reading]

Well arse to it anyway. And that’s me being very polite about how I’m feeling right now, very polite indeed. I’m not doctor, nor do I have any formal medical training, not even first aid experience, but I’m 99.9% certain that I have got poxy effing shin splints, particularly in my right leg. I went… [Continue Reading]

Since I’m still off training for a few days until I get to speak to my doctor, there’s not a whole heap to say about training for the last few days. It’s been snowing and icy in Dublin, so it wasn’t even possible to go out for a decent walk or anything. All I have… [Continue Reading]

Man, I have eaten so much crap and junk food over the last 3 days it’s disgusting. What a lovely few days Christmas was, but as usual (well, usual now, not previousl), after 4 days of no exercise I was getting really fidgety, so I drove back to the apartment and did 40 minutes on… [Continue Reading]

The pigging out over the last few days, and particularly yesterday has felt great at the time, but it’s always the next day when you look in the mirror or stand on the scales or feel tired and unfit, or all of the above (as today) that you regret doing it. Today I was back… [Continue Reading]

Arse. Arse, arsing arse. Yesterday I managed to injure my back (by having a shower too quickly, seriously), but I still went and did some recumbant bike work. Today, my back was worse, so I went to my Chiropractor (Gemma Bailey, she’s great, go to her at FitzWilliam Health and fix your dodgy backs. Anyway,… [Continue Reading]

Woop Woop – I’m back in the game! After 4 days off with a killer cold, I headed back to the gym today. I have to say, it felt great just to do a bit of exercise again. I was planning on upping the time by 5 minutes each on the bike and cross trainer,… [Continue Reading]

Spent all day in bed, like all day!! Went home from the radio show at about 12, had food, started bailing into my stockpile of drugs and went to bed. Got up again after 6 and spent the rest of the evening on the couch. Can’t remember the last time I had as bad a… [Continue Reading]

I felt pretty good about Monday evening’s training until I got into work today and found out that Tracy does 40 minutes on the cross trainer, as opposed to my rubbish 20 minutes. Now I have to start doing a lot more time there, i can’t let Tracy beat me!! For the record, I did… [Continue Reading]
