BM 10k “The loneliness of the 10k runner”
Brief Synopsis: Arrived early but not early enough to find Jane as hoped. Headed over to start, waving cheerio to Hubby. Started slowly as planned. Didn’t manage to improve pace. Thankfully most of route see...
Realised that I hadn’t written up my 50th Parkrun at Dulwich so a quick resume follows: The run took place on 28/02/15 and for me was a little slow at 32.07mins – the new ‘hills’ have been completed and the run now has two little ‘bumps’ on an otherwis...
On the advice from the Therapist I've deferred Brighton Marathon (but he said the 10k would be okay - at least that's how I interpreted what he said). So I'm registered for the 10k and will be there for the weekend to support everyone else. (Hoping to ...
Better late than never! (no excuse – I’d just started this on my hubby’s laptop and I seldom get to use it now I have my own).
Sasha’s report on the run was spot on. I even started in the later batch just like her!
Hubby and myself got there with some ...
Okay I made a boob. After the Bexhill Half in November, I felt tired and disappointed in my performance (I felt I had walked far too much). So decided I'd have a little break to re-charge the batteries. The two park runs (numbers 48 and 49) proved t...
Parkrun 49 has been completed. No PB’s or even close but since the Poppy Half I’ve only been doing the parkruns and I’ve gone from 33 mins back to 31mins so I’m satisfied with that for the time being.
Told everyone in Dulwich not to expect me back unt...
Apologies for recent absence. Will be catching up on blogs soon promise.
So excited just had to share. Have just registered for the Las Vegas Half Marathon 2015! (running up and down the strip at night)
Can't wait!

Hi, my name’s Yve and I like to run. It’s been almost a month since my last Blog.
No excuses, just nothing to tell.
Big huge thank you and a well deserved Congratulations, to all those who took part or contributed to the Snowdon expedition 2014. I s...
I have been continuing with my training as I have my next half coming up next month, but seem to be going backwards regarding stamina etc on the long distance runs. The longer the run the less I seem to be able to manage. Today was a good example. 14m...
Is how I was greeted by more than one person at Parkrun on Saturday (I was volunteering). Had to confess that it had been a PB with mixed feelings. On the one hand ‘A PB’!! Yay! (even got a lovely ALERT from Hollywood himself – had to tell someone). ...
My little contribution to the Great Oggie Run number 2
Well I did what I set out to do. 11 miles: Crystal Palace Park, through upper Penge to Elmers End, onto to Kelsey Park, then on through Beckenham and along Coopers Cope Road to Catford (Runkeeper l...
Sunday was a 6 miles slow – went round Crystal Palace park thinking of Gerry most of the time. (Wearing my orange top in support). May have been slow but still a hot and sweaty session.
Tuesday: 4 miles plus the fast/slow strides. Runkeeper lost trac...
Tuesday: “Keep this run slow, there is no reason to push the pace. Try to run on soft surfaces and vary the terrain of your runs” TICK.
Decided to stick to the lower slopes of Crystal Palace Park again, but I did figure of 8’s to make a change. Also h...
Does anyone know anything about the Achilles Tendon please?
I think mine has started making itself known, not painfully just aware of it.
All advice / guidance very much welcome please.
Training is progressing at a reasonable rate. Not sure how much more of this pace I’ll be able to keep up but so far so good.
Runkeeper app has a bit of a flaw in that when running it will only give you an average pace for your current session regardle...
I did it!
I had a little adventure back in July that I forgot to mention.
I finally succeeded in getting home from work, totally under my own steam: 10.43 miles in 2:30:00hrs.
Set off from Camden at 5:30pm. It was very hot so I stuck to the shady side...
What a simply brilliant morning! Sun shining, blue skies, trains worked well and I arrived at St Albans station and just saw Marc pulling up. Confirmed that HWD would be able to make it too.
As we arrived at the park I immediately spotted a red double p...
So terribly behind with my blogging I thought I’d try something different.
I like training programmes, lost without them. First one I found was from the Virgin Marathon website. It was a beginner one and as I knew nothing, I pretty much took it as it ...
Sunday 13th July: 10k Help for Heroes Run. Travelled up to London with Hubby and we separated at Oxford Circus. Found my way to the HfH’s start (down a little side alley, then discovered I had been waiting in the queue for the loo for the last 10 min...
I’m tired!
Saturday 12th July: Just back from the Wedding/Holiday in Scotland and I’m shattered. Clocked up 1400+ miles on the car thingy. Ticked off the Parkrun in Inverness on the Saturday, wedding in the afternoon. Then home via: Edinburgh, Seahou...
Restful week following the Run Hackney Half last weekend.
A photoshopped piccie of HWDave and myself with our medals:
Been attacking the WII EA Fitness a couple of times (concentrating on core exercises: Leg raises, Crunch with Punches, Flutter Kicks...
