Marathon Training – Day 133

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 [...]

Marathon Training – Day 130

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 you, [...]

Marathon Training – Day 129

So, despite the slagging I got off Orla yesterday, today was such a nice day and the sun was shining so brightly that I decided to incorporate another walk into my exercise plans. I still think it’s a good thing to do (walking is one of the best forms of exercise right??) and a good [...]

Fully Charged – Wednesday 3 March 2010

How is it going and all and anyways??
ON THE SHOW TOMORROW

The Hour of Power (now incorporating the Road Rave) – Every morning from 6.45 we let you decide what chooooons to put on the radio. And you never let us down. We love you guys!! So, today we played stuff like (1) Chiddy Bang – [...]

Marathon Training – Day 127

Holy hole in a Donut Batman, whatever I did yesterday really took it out of me…I was shattered in work this morning, and had to (well, really wanted to more than “had to” I guess) go back to bed. So I got an hours kip between 12.15 and 1.15 then got back up to have [...]

Marathon Training – Day 126

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 [...]

Kanye West Interview

Kanye West is interviewed by Ryan Phillips and Tracy Clifford from Spin1038’s Fully Charged

We spoke to kanye after a first listen session of his new album 808s and Heatbreak. In a quite surreal twist, the first listen was in a hotel room with Kanye West himself, and the new album was on his iphone. He [...]

Marathon Training – Day 120

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 [...]

Marathon Training – Day 119

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 [...]

Marathon Training – Days 94-118

So….about those last 2 and a bit weeks eh? How about ‘em?
Ok, so let me get things up to date so we’re all back on the same page. Back on Wednesday 27 January, I last posted about my daily training for the Dublin City Marathon. Things weren’t going too great, because I had recently had [...]
