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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

40 minutes, 2828 strides and 630.2 calories later and I’m done. That’s enough exercise for today for me thank you very much. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how much you dislike something. I used to have that problem with the cross trainer, but now I’m actually starting to quite like the thing! They [...]

I can’t believe that my stupid cold is starting to make a comeback!! I’ve been burning through toilet roll at an alarming rate, but despite that I still went to the gym today, and did my now customary 20 minutes on the bike (7km, thanks for asking) and 20 minutes on the cross trainer, but [...]

Today didn’t go at all well.
I find it funny that even the best laid plans and intentions can still come unstuck when you’re tight for time. The plan today was to go the gym before going to my God Daughter’s Christening. But then my alarm went off at 7.30, which is very early for [...]

The long and winding road (do do) to your….start line.
Sorry, I’m not sure what i was trying for there. My unofficial physio came over to the apartments. I say unofficial, because I haven’t told her that I’m planning on running the marathon and that she has to treat me for free every time I injure [...]

Another day, another trip to the gym. I wonder if I would have gone to the gym half as much in the last 3 weeks if there wasn’t one in the apartment complex where I live? I suspect not!! I was really tight for time today as we were going to visit friends in Rathvilly [...]

It works!! This blog works. Tonight, I didn’t want to go to the gym. I put it off all day. I went to bed for 3 and a half hours in the middle of the afternoon, I avoided anything remotely connected to fitness, health and well being. Then I thought about leaving a day blank [...]
