So, it probably tells you all you need to know about day 121 of training that I am typing this on my iPhone from the badminton match that is supposed to be today’s training?? It’s now 8.45pm and I have been here since 7 and still haven’t played either of my two matches. So unless… [Continue Reading]

So today I was a little (but not a lot, thankfully) sore after the run yesterday. I decided not to do anything in the gym because I wa going back to badminton training for the first time since I injured my shin. I hadn’t actually played since before Christmas so I was looking forward to… [Continue Reading]

Still sick. This is rubbish!! No way I could go to the gym today, was too busy blowing my nose to even think about it. However, the badminton team couldn’t find anyone to sub for me at the last minute, so I had to go out to Lucan and play 2 badminton matches. We lost… [Continue Reading]

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… [Continue Reading]

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… [Continue Reading]

If yesterday went bad, then today was an absolute disaster!! I didn’t do a thing, not a single thing, BUT, I have a good excuse….well, I have an excuse! Today was the Cheerios Childline concert, and a good opportunity for us to get some good interviews with some big celebrities for the radio show, so… [Continue Reading]
Marathon Training – Day 16

Forget what I said yesterday about badminton matches not being good enough fitness training. Tonight my team had another badminton match, and I was run ragged and wrecked at the end. Job well done. Sadly, again it wasn’t good news for our team. We lost again, this time 6-2. It’s fairly frustrating, because we’re not… [Continue Reading]

First badminton match of the season for us today (having had 2 matches cancelled already) so I was hoping for a good runaround sufficient to tick my exercise boxes for today. I remember my competitive badminton days as being among the fittest I have ever been. Some matches were absolutely epic affairs that had you… [Continue Reading]
