Couple of runs in after the post eye operation ‘convalescence’. Very enjoyable though a bit tired from stress-induced insomnia! Work has been pretty tough over the past few weeks, so an enforced break from running and yoga was not really what I wanted. A relaxing restorative practice this evening makes
Hip no better at all this morning. If anything, slightly worse. I considered going right around the first roundabout and back home, but persevered. It’s frustratingly stubborn. I really thought it would have eased. I was trying to think what might have caused it and remembers the wire fence
That was unpleasant - apart from the lovely view. Dr ChatGPT says the pain in my lower back is likely a strained QL. Whatever it is, it’s hanging around too long and making running, yoga and even a gentle twist pretty uncomfortable. Today hurt all the way around and
Warm, humid and a little overcast this morning for my Thursday interval session. 10 min warm up and cool down with 8 x 60 second efforts and 90 second recoveries. Never been a fan of intervals and nothing has changed there, but there’s no doubt they are a great
Back to the Andalucian hills this morning.
So nice to get off the roads and onto the trails this morning. Thoroughly enjoyed myself!
Constantly tired. And I’m fed up of feeling like this. I’m also always cold. Hands and feet in particular. But even when the weather isn’t particularly cold, I’m just freezing. I think I might get some blood tests, just to check everything is OK. Strava Athlete

Very tired this morning. Still feeling Sunday’s run in the legs. Nice though. Strava Athlete Intelligence Challenging Valderrama route with significant elevation gain, pushing through a slower pace while maintaining solid effort in the endurance zones. Your Valderrama run was slightly slower than your recent 30-day average, with a
That really felt like the end of a tough week. Ashtanga last night was up to Urdva Mukha Paschimottanasana - so quite a long one. And I’ve definitely felt the hills this week. Right hip flexor was complaining before I set off and really moaning by mile 10. I
First night in a week of not fasting and I felt a bit rubbish this morning. Sluggish and like I’m still digesting. As well as eating after 4pm, dinner was very late - around 9:30pm. Strava Athlete Intelligence Solid Valderrama route run with a strong finish, pushing pace
Not done this route for a while. It’s a proper challenge with strong elevation gain over a relatively short distance. Today was supposed to be a 30 minute tempo at 7’57” pace with warm up and cool down, but I just fancied this route - not least for
