LUCEO NON URO
Running Home delivered me to a finish line but the journey was far from over. Running changed my life, but on this rocky road of physical and personnel development I seemed to have lost my way.
The body is failing but the spirt is still alive and hungry for more. LUCEO NON URO will help me chronicle the ride to glory or destruction...

…“Are you going to warm up”, running buddy asked…
“Nope…pointless as just getting round is all I have”, was the honest response.
Normally the temptation is to air on the side of caution and under estimate your race day predictions. Not today…training h...
After many’s weeks of walking, perhaps sometimes to far and to fast...the run is starting to return. The magic fix we all hope for is as elusive as ever...the run will only return after you pay the price both physically and emotionally. The run machine ...
Its been five long weeks since my last proper run…thats not counting a couple of failed efforts on grass but will not dwell...
…when the snow came to Yorkshire I walked…mostly…would much rather have run…but can honestly say that resting has achieved no...
In the past when things (running) are not going well I have been so reluctant to post to my blog, days easily turned to months with no post updates…its easy to post about amazing feats of achievement that are a joy to share. But the bad times I find mor...
Another week passed and still no running to report…but thats still acceptable just about. Every day my focus has been to train in a spare bedroom that is quickly becoming a small fitness suite with lots of torture implements. Push-ups are going remarkab...
Time passes so slowly when running is on hold…8 days so far and after a sports therapist visit will be looking at a further 2-3 weeks before running can be resumed. We reviewed all my recovery activities and clearly although with the best of intentions ...
…my running streak ended on day 61. After 111 miles in Dec, 100 during Jan, running a minimum of 3 miles every day had taken its toll. The final decision came after a decent effort at Heslington parkrun this Saturday. It’s a new park run venue in York t...
Seven days have passed and the roller coaster of fitness gain and injury recovery continue slowly. According to Strava in the last 7 days have run every day covering 24 miles with my longest run being a minimum of 3 miles and a maximum 4 miles. When the...
Six months later….really…the time to write was during that six months. During the work in progress but it took all my resolve just to keep pulling my shoes on. To keep plugging away hoping for the improvement that never came. Every time the speed starte...
Weeks and months pass…if I am not careful life will simply slip by in a blur of other peoples wants and wishes…the pace of life has changed and find myself with more time to train, so no further excuses are possible…brakes have been applied, more consis...
Weeks have passed since I dipped my toe back in the RB water then nothing. Seem to have lost all motivation to continue. Maddening really as that is when I should really have been posting, when it became a struggle again. The moment has passed and routi...
…didn’t realise how much I missed RB until I dipped my toe back in the water. When I started trying to run it was RB that kept me going on those dark days, and there were many. It was the comments and encouragement that picked me up time and again. Runn...
...is my biggest challenge at the moment. Monday managed 5 slow miles. Tuesday rested...have that pretty much sorted. Love the rest aspect of the training week. Have always said if you can find 20 reasons not to run then don't run. I've got eight minut...
