I have to say, I very nearly threw in the towel today. If this were a video diary and I was less of the macho macho man that I am, this is the bit where I would be getting all teary eyed and emotional about how difficult it all is. After my first day back [...]

Oh Jebus
I can’t believe I haven’t done any training in 4 weeks. So it appears I’m going 3 months on, 1 month off now! That doesn’t seem like a sensible training plan by anyone’s stanards. I can explain away some of this (2 weeks injured, 1 week skiing) but the last week was quite simply [...]

More sitting about and doing nothing today! God damn injury, enough already, go away.
I got a bit depressed about the whole thing today. It’s a horrible helpless feeling to be sitting on your hole and waiting to be able to start training again, especially when, like me, you’re only at the very start of training [...]

Today I remembered why I shouldn’t drink, because it inevitably arses up all your plans and loses precious time! I was supposed to be going for a 4 mile jog this afternoon. Instead I had to (well, perhaps “had” to is a bit strong) go back to bed and get some sleep. I was on [...]

Since I’m still in limbo on whether my heart is actually up to (a) running a marathon, or (b) doing anything at all, I decided to assume that it was going to be fine, but not push my look. SO, I did what any sensible man in my position would do. I bought these….
I finally [...]

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 [...]

Day 59 of Marathon Training was Christmas Eve. Despite the best will in the world, there was soo much to do today (last minute shopping, including buying an iphone for myself, which I totally deserve) that I didn’t make it to the gym at all.
To be honest, the message I got from the Doctor yesterday [...]

Today was an absolutely manic day (as you might expect in the run up to Christmas) (Day 58 was 23 December FYI) and I went straight from the radio show, to the house, to lunch with my friends Adam and Mary, to up town last minute Christmas shopping to home to Orla to veg night [...]

Back into the gym again for day 57 of Marathon training and more time on the bike and more time on the cross trainer to be had and done. Again, sweat buckets, kept the heart rate up and did some light cardio and weight loss exercise.
I was thinking on the cross trainer earlier that I’m [...]

I injured my back on Sunday, and was told by Gemma (my Chiropractor) not to go to the gym yesterday. Today, in all honesty, my back was pretty much fine. My form however, not so fine! I just had a complete pig of a day and couldn’t motivate myself to go to the gym [...]
